Your itinerary

Day 1

Bangkok City Tour

We begin the day at Pak Khlong Talat, Bangkok’s vibrant flower market, before visiting the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew). We then continue to Wat Pho, home of the iconic Reclining Buddha, followed by a visit to Wat Arun, the famous Temple of Dawn. The experience continues with a long-tail boat ride through the khlongs, exploring Bangkok’s canals and local riverside life, including a stop at the Artist’s House.

No meals included 3-star hotel Bangkok
Day 2

Floating Market & Mangrove Tour

Start at the Maeklong Railway Market, where vendors clear their stalls as the train passes just inches away. Head to Amphawa to explore one of the region’s floating markets — either the vibrant Damnoen Saduak or the charming Amphawa weekend market. Continue into the mangrove ecosystem, where you observe local fishermen, visit a seafood farm, encounter monkeys, and enjoy a traditional lunch.

Breakfast & lunch included 3-star hotel Amphawa
Day 3

Elephants & Kanchanaburi

Today we visit our elephant friends in an ethical and respectful environment, accompanying them in their natural habitat — no riding, just observing and connecting. We will prepare their food, walk alongside them through the forest, and watch them play in the mud before joining them by the river for a bath. On the way, we stop at the impressive Tham Sua Temple, one of Kanchanaburi’s most striking landmarks with panoramic views.

Breakfast, lunch & dinner included Floating bungalows · 4-star Kanchanaburi
Day 4

Mon Village & Bamboo Rafting

Visit a local Mon village to gain a deeper understanding of one of the oldest ethnic groups in Southeast Asia. Explore their traditions, architecture, and way of life — known for their strong Buddhist heritage, craftsmanship in ceramics and textiles, unique language, and traditional festivals. The day also includes bamboo rafting along the River Kwai — a classic Thai experience that allows you to connect with the natural surroundings.

Breakfast, lunch & dinner included Floating bungalows · 4-star Kanchanaburi
Day 5

Bridge over the River Kwai & Erawan

Today we head back to Erawan Waterfall, where you can cool off and challenge yourselves to reach the seven levels of the cascade. On the way, we stop at the famous Bridge over the River Kwai, one of Kanchanaburi’s most iconic landmarks. The trails connecting each level allow visitors to explore everything from calm turquoise pools to higher cascades surrounded by lush tropical jungle.

Breakfast included 3-star hotel Ayutthaya
Day 6

Ayutthaya — Ancient Capital

Today we head to Ayutthaya, making a stop at Bang Pa-In Palace, originally built in the 17th century, later restored and expanded in the mid-19th century by the King as a summer residence. We then enjoy a traditional boat excursion along the river, passing wooden houses on stilts, rice barges, and temple spires. After lunch, we explore the historical center, including Wat Mahathat, Wat Phra Si Sanphet, and Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon.
