Ultimate Thailand Adventure

Suggested Journey Length: 11 Days

If you learn just one Thai word, let it be “sanuk”, meaning fun. On this expertly curated journey from the markets of Bangkok to the tribal villages of the north and the serene beaches of southerly Koh Samui, smiles abound. Welcome to the cheerful heart of Southeastern Asia. A vibrant whirlwind of steamy heat, bold street food and floating flower markets amidst golden temples awaits in Bangkok. To the north, the Golden Triangle's jungles and rivers merge with the temples of Chiang Rai and intricate Lanna architecture. The journey then wends south: tropical islands offer a castaway fantasy with white-sand beaches and warm seas. Off the east coast, Koh Samui provides relaxation with sophisticated resorts and serene landscapes. Broaden your culinary skills with a Northern Thai cooking class, mastering regional dishes that pack a spicy punch
