Day 1 | Arrival in Bangkok

Upon arrival in Bangkok, you will be welcomed at the airport and transferred to your booked hotel. After check-in, you have time to explore the surrounding neighborhood.

Tip! Visit one of the many rooftop bars at sunset. Particularly impressive is the Sky Bar in the Lebua State Tower, located approximately 250 meters above the city. The view over Bangkok and the surrounding districts is nothing short of spectacular.

Day 2 | Royal Palaces & Boat Tour

Your eventful day begins with a drive through Chinatown. This neighborhood is filled with narrow alleyways, food stalls, and markets. Crowds of people push through the busy streets, whose shops are almost exclusively marked with Chinese characters.
At the river, the next highlight awaits: Pak Klong Talat, the flower market — one of the most beautiful markets in the area, famous for its stunning colors and fragrances.

Not far from here stands the old Royal Palace. Today, this palace is still used for important ceremonies. The adjacent temple Wat Phra Kaeo houses the Emerald Buddha, the most sacred object in the Kingdom.
In Wat Pho, the oldest temple in the city, you visit the enormous golden Reclining Buddha as well as the chedis that contain the urns of deceased kings.

Afterwards, you explore the city’s small canals by boat. Here, as centuries ago, people still live in traditional wooden houses built on stilts. This excursion offers you insight into the traditional lifestyle of the Thai population and creates a peaceful contrast to the hectic bustle of the metropolis. (L)

Day 3 | Floating Markets & the Death Railway

After leaving Bangkok, you reach the floating markets. A rowing boat takes you through the market channels and the adjacent canals. Just like 100 years ago, goods are still sold directly from the boats.

In the provincial town of Kanchanaburi, the famous Death Railway awaits you. An adventurous ride leads you along the River Kwai and across wooden viaducts.
The Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum features an impressive exhibition showing the conditions under which prisoners of war had to work on the railway during World War II.

In the afternoon, a boat takes you to your raft hotel — floating on the river and surrounded by dense jungle. (L)

Day 4 | The Ancient Royal Capital

Today’s drive takes you through Suphanburi, located in the heart of Thailand’s central plain and commonly referred to as the country’s great rice bowl.

After arriving in the former capital of Siam, you see the ruins of temples and ancient palaces, which still testify to the former splendor of the royal city.
Along the Chao Phraya River lies the highly interesting temple Wat Phanan Choeng, home to the colossal and deeply revered Buddha statue Luangpor To.
At Wat Yai, you can admire a large number of small and large chedis — the largest reaching over 60 meters in height.
The temple was commissioned in 1357 by King U-Thong, the first king of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, and served as a residence for monks returning from Ceylon after studying Buddhist teachings. (M)

Day 5 | Rice Barge Cruise on the Sakaekrang River

You travel through the plains of Central Thailand, passing rice fields and small villages, heading toward the rural province of Uthai Thani.

After visiting the traditional farmers’ market — offering an enormous variety of fresh vegetables and exotic fruits — you board a converted rice barge.
For more than an hour, the teak barge glides gently along the untouched Sakaekrang River, passing floating wooden houses often surrounded by water vegetables, giving you a deeper impression of the simple lifestyle of the local people.

Afterwards, you continue your journey through Nakhon Sawan, where the Chao Phraya River is formed by the confluence of the Ping and Nan Rivers, and continue on to Sukhothai. (L)

Day 6 | Bicycle Tour & Lake Landscape

In the morning, you visit the historical park of Old Sukhothai. It is a place of great significance in the country’s history.
In the late 13th century, Sukhothai emerged as Thailand’s first capital and became a stronghold of Thai language and culture.
It also played an important role in the development of art, religion, daily life, and political as well as economic power.

Within the old city walls of this UNESCO World Heritage Site lie the ruins of ancient temples. Exploring the venerable grounds by bicycle is a beautiful opportunity to relax and enjoy the serenity of this historic landscape.

Your journey continues through the mountains toward the small provincial town of Phayao. Here lies the largest freshwater lake in Northern Thailand. Covered with many water hyacinths and rich in fish and small freshwater crabs, it creates a calm and atmospheric setting. Small lakeside eateries invite you to dine and relax, offering a typical glimpse of provincial comfort and simplicity.

The day ends in Chiang Rai. Life here truly feels laid-back, and visitors quickly notice how genuinely friendly and welcoming the people are. The streets are full of local food stalls serving unique Northern Thai dishes. (L)

Day 7 | The Famous and Infamous Golden Triangle

You drive via the ancient Northern Thai royal town of Chiang Saen to the Golden Triangle, where Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos meet at the Mekong — Southeast Asia’s most famous river. An adventurous boat ride takes you across the river to the various national borders.

Mae Sai is Thailand’s northernmost town, and the bustling border market thrives on trade between Thais, Burmese, and local hill tribe communities. If possible, you may cross the border and explore the Burmese sister town on foot.

On your return to Chiang Rai, you stop at the temple Wat Rong Suea Ten. One of its most striking features is its exterior, painted entirely in different shades of blue. The blue color scheme symbolizes the infinite radiance of the Buddha — a representation of purity and peace. The vibrant tones stand in strong contrast to the surrounding landscape, creating a visual spectacle that leaves a lasting impression on visitors. (L)

Day 8 | White Temple & Hot Springs

Your first stop today is Wat Rong Khun, commonly known as the “White Temple.”
Unlike Thailand’s traditionally colorful temples, this one appears completely monochrome. The white color represents the purity of the Buddha. The bridge in front of the main hall symbolizes the transition into Nirvana, and thus the liberation from the painful cycle of rebirth.

You continue on a panoramic drive through the densely forested, nearly uninhabited mountain regions of Northern Thailand — areas traditionally home to various hill tribes who maintain their own cultures and languages, similar to those in neighboring Myanmar and Laos.

Along the way, you stop at the San Kamphaeng hot springs, where you can enjoy a relaxing footbath. Two thermal springs rise within elaborately landscaped flower gardens, shooting hot water high into the air. The original water temperature exceeds 100 degrees Celsius, cooling only as it meets the breeze.
Visitors even boil eggs here — simply wait until they reach your preferred consistency and enjoy them with soy sauce.

Upon arriving in Chiang Mai, the largest city in Northern Thailand, you have time to explore the city on foot. In the evening, you should visit the lively Night Bazaar and afterwards enjoy the atmospheric live music along the Ping River. (L)

Day 9 | Mountain Monastery on Doi Suthep

In the morning, you drive through Chiang Mai, founded in 1296 by King Mengrai.
It later became the capital of the Lanna Kingdom.

A serpentine mountain road leads you to the summit of Doi Suthep, rising over 1,000 meters above sea level. For Buddhists, this is a sacred mountain, as it is home to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, a historic temple complex and one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. The mountain and its surroundings are also popular among hikers and nature enthusiasts for their breathtaking views, lush forests, and rich wildlife.

Expert Tip! If you want to experience local life up close, you should visit one of the city’s many markets in the afternoon. Here you will find food of all kinds and everyday necessities. In addition to flower markets, you’ll discover numerous street food stalls offering authentic Thai dishes. Alternatively, you may visit more of the city’s highly interesting temples with your guide. (L)

Day 10 | Thailand’s Most Beautiful Buddha Image

The journey continues to Lampang, where you visit Wat Phra That Lampang Luang, a Lanna-style temple and one of the oldest in the North. With its massive walls and elevated position, it leaves a powerful impression.

Your tour then continues to Phitsanulok. Along the river — lined with countless houseboats — stands Wat Mahathat, where the golden Buddha Phra Chinnarat resides. It is considered the most beautiful and most significant Buddha image in the entire Kingdom. Afterwards, you visit a small workshop specializing in the casting of Buddha statues. During the fascinating tour, where each step of the statue-making process is demonstrated, you can watch the craftsmen at work.

Tip for the evening: Visit the lively night market by the river. (L)

Day 11 | Limestone Mountains & the “Thai Switzerland”

In the morning, you set off toward Northeastern Thailand. Not far from Phitsanulok lies a hidden paradise that rivals the dramatic beauty of Krabi’s famous landscapes. Noen Maprang presents a fascinating scenery where limestone karsts rise majestically from emerald-green rice fields.

A stop is made at a small riverside restaurant for a coffee break, before continuing to Lom Sak, where you gain your first impression of simple rural life. The following drive takes you through the region known as the “Thai Switzerland.” A beautiful landscape with many mountains, winding roads, viewpoints, and small villages.

Loei lies at the end of the route and is your destination for tonight. This tranquil town was once considered so remote that government officials were sometimes assigned here as a form of disciplinary posting. In the evening, you can stroll across the local farmers’ market with its many food stalls. (L)

Day 12 | The Largest River in Southeast Asia

Today you drive along one of Thailand’s most beautiful scenic routes — following the Mekong River. Along the way, you enjoy spectacular views of Southeast Asia’s largest river and the eighth-longest river in the world.
Several interesting viewpoints provide opportunities to experience the Mekong up close.

Nong Khai is an impressive riverside city where you can feel the cultural atmosphere shaped by its proximity to the former French colonial territories.
Many cultural influences have made their way here over time.

In the afternoon, you stroll across the day market along the Mekong River and visit the unusual temple complex Wat Kaeck on the edge of the city. Enormous Buddhist and Hindu sculptures — towering meters high — depicting gods, goddesses, saints, devils, demons, and mythological creatures are arranged seemingly without order. It is a curious and striking place.

You spend the night in the provincial capital Udon Thani. (L)

Day 13 | Historic Khmer Park & Bats

Your journey continues via Khon Kaen to Phi Mai, where you visit an important Khmer sanctuary within the historical park. Dating back to the 11th century, this ancient complex is often regarded as the architectural prototype of the world-famous Angkor Wat. At that time, a direct road — the so-called King’s Road — connected Phi Mai to Angkor.

Before continuing your trip, you visit the largest banyan tree in the Kingdom. Its numerous aerial roots have grown over more than 300 years, creating a network covering about 1,200 square meters.

In the afternoon, you arrive at the outskirts of Khao Yai National Park. Overnight stay near the park.

Before nightfall, you can visit one of the many bat caves in the region.
These limestone caverns are home to countless millions of bats that leave the cave every evening to hunt in the park. It is a unique spectacle when an endless stream of bats takes to the sky for nearly half an hour. (L)

Day 14 | Khao Yai UNESCO National Park

Today you visit Thailand’s oldest national park, which is also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You drive into a vast protected area located in a more remote part of the park. A winding mountain road takes you past spectacular viewpoints toward the first destination. Even along the way, you will see troops of wild monkeys observing passing cars from the roadside.

Afterwards, you take a guided hike with a ranger along a river through the rainforest. The rangers are highly experienced and will point out many interesting plants or animals that hide within the dense jungle. Before continuing, you visit the beautifully situated Haew Suwat Waterfall, which plunges over a 20-meter cliff into a natural pool.

Your journey then continues along small roads into the higher regions of the park.
After a short walk along a jungle path, you reach the plateau known as the “Amazing Cliff,” located 1,200 meters above sea level. From here, you have magnificent views across the national park.

Before exiting the park through the eastern gate, you make a stop at the visitor center. (M)

Day 15 | End of the Journey or Extension Program on the Islands

With many new impressions from your unforgettable round trip, you are transferred to Bangkok Airport.

We are happy to design your extension program according to your wishes — for example, a relaxing beach holiday on one of the islands in Thailand’s southern regions.
