Northern Thailand is a treasure trove of culture, nature, and adventure, and the "Best of Northern Thailand" tour package is designed to help experienced travelers uncover it all in 11 action-packed days. Starting and ending in Bangkok, this moderate activity trip takes you from the urban buzz of the capital to the tranquil beauty of Chiang Mai.
Cycle through the historic ruins of Sukhothai, explore the Grand Palace and Wat Po, and experience a homestay in Na Ton Chan village—a rare opportunity to connect with local life. In Chiang Mai, you’ll witness the important conservation work at Elephant Nature Park, deepening your understanding of Thailand’s wildlife.
The unique selling point of this tour is its newly refreshed itinerary for 2026, now beginning in Chiang Mai for an even more immersive experience. With all accommodation, transport, and meals included, this trip is perfect for travelers who want to balance sightseeing, cultural exchange, and active exploration in the heart of Thailand.
We loved our recent visit to Northern Thailand. We were lucky enough to be guided by Wit who was an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide. He explained everything in detail was always happy to answer any and every question and managed to negotiate our travels smoothly and efficiently and ensure that we covered large distances comfortably.
Trip exceeded my expectations! Particular highlights were the elephant sanctuary and the floating hotel at Chiang Mai. Our tour leader, Pok, was excellent and the rest of the group were great company. If you arrive in Bangkok in the early morning so you can do the optional long boat trip on arrival at Bangkok (would definitely recommend), it is worth booking an extra night at the hotel for the day before to ensure you have a room to nap in as soon as you arrive. Although I did this, the only slight disappointment was that the hotel had no record of my extra night booking and so I had to wait two hours with all the people who hadn’t booked an extra night, despite having paid extra. Otherwise, would have given 5 stars
Great tour with a fantastic tour leader - Pok was so helpful and knowledgeable. He was also very good at noticing individual preferences and interests which enhanced the trip for all of us in our separate ways.
Pok was an excellent tour leader. He was very caring, well informed and organised. There was nothing he would not do for the guests. We were lucky to have him as our guide. Top of the pops for Pok.***
