Begin with a boat ride along the river through Bangkok’s historic center, passing the lively Pak Khlong Talat flower market. Visit the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), then walk to Wat Pho, home of the iconic Reclining Buddha.
Cross the river by ferry to Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, and end with a private long-tail boat ride through Bangkok’s canals — the “Venice of the East.”
W22 Hotel Breakfast included BangkokAyutthaya
Depart toward Ayutthaya, beginning at the elegant Bang Pa-In Royal Palace with its blend of Thai and European architecture. Take a traditional boat along the river, then explore its most iconic temples: Wat Mahathat, Wat Phra Si Sanphet, and Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon.
Return to Bangkok after lunch at a local riverside restaurant.
W22 Hotel Breakfast & lunch included BangkokFloating Market & Mangrove
Start at the Maeklong Railway Market, where vendors clear their stalls as the train passes just inches away. Head to Amphawa to explore either the vibrant Damnoen Saduak Floating Market or the local Amphawa market.

W22 Hotel Breakfast & lunch included BangkokChiang Rai
Today we take a flight to Chiang Rai. Upon arrival, we will transfer to the hotel to relax and enjoy its facilities, including the swimming pool. From 17:00 onwards, we can head to the night market, where you can stroll at your own pace among local food stalls, clothing, handicrafts and live music, soaking in the local atmosphere.
Nak Nakara Hotel Breakfast included Chiang RaiChiang Rai & Chiang Mai
We visit the extraordinary Wat Rong Khun, also known as the “White Temple,” a contemporary creation by one of Thailand’s most renowned artists, Chalermchai Kositpipat. Although it resembles a religious complex, its true purpose is artistic: its nine buildings house unique works of art, from meditating Buddha statues to pop culture icons such as Michael Jackson, as well as murals illustrating the teachings of Theravada Buddhism. Its immaculate white color gives it a truly unique and striking character.
We continue to Wat Rong Suea Ten, known as the “Blue Temple,” designed by a disciple of Chalermchai. Here, we can admire Buddha statues in meditation, as well as mythological figures such as demons and nagas — legendary half-human, half-serpent beings — and paintings depicting key moments from the life of Gautama Buddha.
We then head to Chiang Mai to visit the magnificent Doi Suthep Temple, located in the mountains at 1,200 meters above sea level. This impressive temple invites quiet contemplation in a serene and mystical atmosphere, where every stone, statue and step reveals an aspect of Buddhism. On the way, we will stop at the peaceful Wat Pha Lat Temple.
99 The Gallery Breakfast included Chiang MaiMae Wang Jungle Experience
Today we set off towards Mae Wang, where we will embark on a moderate-level jungle trek. Along the way, we will learn traditional survival techniques from the Karen community, who still preserve and practice this ancestral knowledge.
We will stop at a hidden waterfall, far from the tourist crowds, where tranquility and nature take center stage. Here, we will prepare a delicious traditional Karen meal with our guide, cooking over an open fire that we will help build ourselves. There will also be time to relax and enjoy a refreshing swim in the waterfall.
Afterwards, we will continue to the village of our dear guide, Lar, where we will stay in a beautiful bungalow surrounded by lush greenery and mountains. In the evening, we will enjoy a cozy dinner by the fire, immersed in this peaceful and authentic setting.
Bungalows Breakfast, lunch & dinner included Mae WangA Day with Elephants
Today, after enjoying a wonderful breakfast prepared by our host family, we will begin our journey to visit our elephant friends in an ethical and respectful environment.
We will take part in their daily care, preparing their food and making natural herbal supplements specially for them. Afterwards, we will walk alongside the elephants through the jungle and enjoy a unique moment bathing with them in the river.
To end this unforgettable experience, we will take part in a peaceful bamboo rafting activity along the river. In the afternoon, we will return to Chiang Mai.
The elephants are very well cared for. There is no riding — we simply accompany them and enjoy their presence in a respectful way. These elephants have lived alongside local communities for many years and are not wild, but domesticated animals.
