Thailand

Arrive in Bangkok, where you'll be warmly welcomed at the airport and transferred to your hotel for check-in.

Relax and unwind after your long-haul flight.

After breakfast at the hotel, begin your tour by exploring Bangkok’s iconic landmarks. Start with a visit to the Grand Palace—a stunning complex of royal buildings—and admire the revered Emerald Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Kaew), celebrated for its intricate details and spiritual significance. Next, visit the impressive Reclining Buddha Temple (Wat Pho), home to a massive golden Buddha statue and the heritage of traditional Thai massage.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.

Dress Code: Please note that the temple is a national shrine, and proper attire is required (no bare shoulders, knees, or strapless-heel shoes). Shoes must be removed before entering the temple buildings as a sign of respect.

In the evening, enjoy a welcome dinner with the group at a local restaurant.

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before heading to the floating market! Your day begins with a journey to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, located about 110 kilometers from Bangkok. Cruise past scenic salt fields and rice paddies until you reach the jetty, where you'll board long-tail speedboats that whisk you away to the market. Here, colorful Thai canoes laden with fruits, vegetables, sweets, and meats glide through the canals, offering a snapshot of everyday Thai life.

After having lunch, you'll be transferred back to your hotel. Later, around 5:00 pm, get ready for a thrilling Bangkok street food and night market adventure with a tuk-tuk ride! Savor a variety of local delicacies and immerse yourself in the bustling market atmosphere (food and purchases are paid for on-site).

Transfer back to the hotel for a much-needed rest.

Leave behind the vibrant energy of Bangkok and take a short flight to Chiang Mai, a city known for its rich culture, stunning temples, and world-renowned cuisine. Nestled in the mountainous north, Chiang Mai offers a slower pace, a deep connection to Thai traditions, and a food scene unlike anywhere else in the country.

Upon arrival, we’ll immerse ourselves in one of Thailand’s most cherished cultural experiences—a traditional Thai cooking class! Guided by expert local chefs, we’ll visit a local market to learn about fresh ingredients before stepping into the kitchen to craft authentic Thai dishes. Expect to prepare (and enjoy!) classics like Tom Yum soup, Pad Thai, Green Curry, and Mango Sticky Rice.

This hands-on experience is the perfect way to not only savor Thai cuisine but also bring a taste of Thailand home with you. Get ready to chop, stir, and taste your way through an unforgettable culinary adventure!

Today, we step into the heart of Thailand’s natural beauty and cultural heritage with two unforgettable experiences.

Our morning begins with a visit to an ethical elephant sanctuary, where we will learn about these gentle giants in a responsible and respectful environment. We’ll have the chance to observe, feed, and walk alongside the elephants while gaining insight into conservation efforts that protect them. This experience is all about ethical interactions—no riding, just appreciation and care for these incredible animals in their natural habitat.

After a morning with the elephants, we’ll head to a tea plantation in the lush highlands surrounding Chiang Mai. Here, we’ll take in stunning views of rolling tea fields while learning about the art of tea cultivation. We’ll discover the process of growing, harvesting, and preparing traditional Thai teas, with a chance to taste some of the finest blends, from refreshing oolong to fragrant jasmine.

This day blends adventure, sustainability, and cultural immersion, offering a deep appreciation for Thailand’s wildlife and its rich tea-growing heritage. Get ready for a truly unforgettable experience! 

Afterwards, head back to the city to get ready for the New Year's Eve celebrations. As night falls, Chiang Mai comes alive with vibrant street food, lively music, and an electric atmosphere. But the true highlight of the night is the Yi Peng lantern release, where thousands of glowing lanterns float into the sky, creating a breathtaking display of light and hope.

Meals: Breakfast

Wake up in Chiang Mai and get ready for a change of scenery as we head south to the stunning coastal paradise of Krabi. After a short flight, we’ll arrive in a world of towering limestone cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and palm-fringed beaches—an entirely different side of Thailand’s beauty.

Once we’ve settled in, take some time to relax and soak up the tropical vibes before the highlight of the evening—a thrilling fire show dinner experience. As night falls, we’ll enjoy a delicious Thai meal while watching fire dancers perform an electrifying display of skill and artistry. With flames spinning, twirling, and lighting up the night sky against the beach backdrop, this show promises to be a mesmerizing and unforgettable experience.

Get ready for an evening of heat, rhythm, and breathtaking performances, all while dining under the stars in beautiful Krabi!

Meals: Breakfast

Get ready for an unforgettable day of island-hopping in paradise! Today, we set out on a tour of the world-famous Phi Phi Islands, a tropical gem known for its dramatic limestone cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and pristine beaches.

Our adventure will take us to some of the most breathtaking spots in the Andaman Sea:
Maya Bay – The iconic location from The Beach, where we’ll soak in the breathtaking scenery of powdery white sand and turquoise waters.
Pileh Lagoon – A hidden emerald-green oasis surrounded by towering cliffs, perfect for swimming and taking in the serene beauty.
