Start in Thailand’s bustling capital before gliding through canals at the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Fly north to Chiang Mai to explore golden temples, climb Doi Suthep, and spend a day with rescued elephants. Then it’s on to Phuket, where limestone cliffs, island cruises and laid-back beach time await. Crossing into Cambodia, delve into the awe-inspiring Angkor temples, from jungle-entwined Ta Prohm to majestic Angkor Wat, and cruise past floating villages on Tonle Sap Lake.

You continue to the pier and board a long-tail boat for a ride through the narrow canals. Along the journey you will catch a glimpse of daily life on the waterways, passing wooden houses and locals going about their routines by the water’s edge.

Arriving at the floating market, you can watch vendors skilfully paddle their boats loaded with fruit, vegetables, flowers and handmade goods, selling directly to customers on the banks.

Standing 3,500 feet above sea level, the temple dates back over 600 years and is crowned by a copper-plated chedi topped with a five-tiered golden parasol. It is said to enshrine relics of the Lord Buddha and is considered the city’s spiritual symbol. From the terrace, you can enjoy sweeping views across Chiang Mai on a clear day. The final approach is a climb up 306 steps of the Naga staircase, guarded by the serpent-like figures of Thai mythology - a fitting welcome to this sacred site.

Back in the city, continue to Wat Suan Dok, once a royal flower garden, now home to a striking central stupa and a collection of whitewashed mausoleums that house the ashes of Chiang Mai’s former rulers. You will also visit Wat Chedi Luang, where an immense chedi, first built in 1411, stands as a reminder of the city’s long and fascinating past.
