Your introduction to this magical kingdom begins with Bangkok, a vibrant international city with a tasteful blend of East and West, dazzling landmarks and boundless entertainment — from gourmet restaurants and space age nightclubs to colorful night markets and hip bars. We then bring you to the ancient cities of Phitsanulok and Sukhothai, home to a few of Thailand’s greatest historical landmarks and ancient temples. Next, destination Chiang Mai, a city with a beautiful cultural personality blessed with majestic natural beauty, where our guests enjoy a memorable experience to a local elephant camp, embark on elephant rides and river rafting, and visit a primitive hilltribe village that has endured the test of time.
