Detailed Description

Discover the endless wonder of Thailand on this 11-day trip that will take you through the diverse cultures from north to south. From the meandering bustle of Bangkok to the charming town-like streets of Chiang Mai, the elegant jungle to the pristine shores of Phuket, you will have the vast expanse of the country to venture through, giving you a taste of the beaches and the bays, the wildlife and city life, all wrapped up in one stretch of fabulous world that is meant for you to experience.

Many Thailand tours begin in the remarkable city of Bangkok where the world seems to speed up in the rush of the streets; however, hidden pathways and parks make it seem like even the most flourished rush can come to a beautiful stop. The inexhaustible energy of the city revs you up and has you out exploring Bangkok’s grandeur the following morning. Cruise along the “River of Kings,” the Chao Praya River which runs right through the city, to see the fabulous life that has taken shape beside the riverbanks.

Wat Arun is also known as the Temple of Dawn and glows in the early morning and at dusk like a beacon. Inside the Grand Palace complex you can see the celebrated and venerable Emerald Buddha draped in gilded robes before venturing to Wat Trimitr to witness the five and a half ton solid gold Buddha, once hidden within a stucco cast. You will find yourself with day at leisure within the rush of the city, allowing you to explore at your own pace, from stunning floating markets to bustling shopping districts, there is always more to discover within the metropolis.

Your exploration continues in Chiang Mai, considered the capital of the north. The Old City is located behind the fortress walls where a moat continues to wrap around the red brick of an imposing fortification. The city blossoms with history and modernity where activity abounds. Spend the first half of the following day at a marvelous elephant camp where you can see the splendid animal reserve along the open jungle. Whether witnessing a jubilant show or traveling through the trees on elephant back, the majestic mammal will have you wanting to return to feed, pet, and watch them live once again.

The latter half of the day brings you through the fabulous temples located in and around the city proper, including on the summit of Doi Suthep, where a tremendous stairway awaits. On the island of Phuket you will find opulent Sino-Portuguese buildings in Old Town that stretch along the streets in colorful facades. Fantastic panoramas look out over pristine shores and immaculate beaches. Venture out to Phang Nga Bay and see the giant karsts that were showcased in the James Bond film, “The Man with the Golden Gun.” Swim with regal and graceful fish in the coral reef along Khai Island. Spend a day luxuriating on the sand or adventuring through the jungle hills of the island where you will discover nothing less than complete magnificence. You will return to Bangkok once more before you make your way home.
