Ten Day Classic Tour to Thailand

Welcome to Bangkok, the enticing capital of Thailand! Upon arrival, be greeted by a local guide and then enjoy a transfer to your hotel. You are free for the rest of the day.

Dive into Bangkok's storied past on this enchanting half-day tour of two must-see landmarks. First, take a scenic public ferry ride across the Chao Phraya River to Wat Arun, the magnificent Temple of Dawn. Stand in awe of its 82-meter Khmer-style spire, which is adorned with exquisite floral mosaics made from Chinese porcelain. Afterward, cross back to Ta Tien Pier and stroll to the Grand Palace, a stunning complex of over 100 grand buildings. Wander through the former royal residence, admire the opulent Throne Halls, and visit Wat Phra Kaew, which houses Thailand's most revered icon—the Emerald Buddha.

This afternoon, the day is yours to enjoy. We recommend exploring high-end malls like Siam Paragon for stylish shopping, wandering through Chinatown for a variety of street food, or simply relaxing by your hotel's outdoor swimming pool.

Spend the day experiencing some vibrant local markets outside the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. The first stop is the Maeklong Railway Market, where vendors roll up and reset their stands at an extraordinary speed whenever a train comes and goes.

Next, ride a wooden boat to the famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, a great place to learn more about the locals' way of life. Have lunch at a local restaurant and take some time to walk around the market before returning to your hotel.

Start your day at a leisurely pace. Later, a private transfer will whisk you to the airport for your flight to Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand. Upon landing, your local guide and driver will be there to welcome you and escort you to your hotel. Once you arrive, you can settle in and fully embrace the relaxed ambiance.

Wake up early today to take part in the ancient Thai tradition of almsgiving. With your guide by your side, visit a bustling morning market to select offerings for the monks. Join the locals in this meaningful ritual to earn spiritual merit. Afterward, return to your hotel for breakfast.

You’ll have some free time before heading to the breathtaking Doi Suthep mountain. As you explore the Hmong Hill Tribe Village, meet the vibrant Meo tribespeople and learn about their rich cultural heritage. Your day will conclude with a visit to the sacred Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, where you can enjoy a spiritual experience and take in the stunning panoramic views of Chiang Mai below.

This morning, immerse yourself in a rewarding half-day visit to an ethical elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai. You’ll connect with these majestic animals in their natural setting. Start with a brief overview of the sanctuary’s conservation mission. Then, dive into the experience by helping prepare nutritious meals for the elephants, watching their joyful playtime, and participating in a mud spa session to keep them cool and clean.

Once your time at the sanctuary concludes, return to your hotel, where you can spend the remainder of the day in leisure, enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

You are free today until it is time to transfer to the airport for your flight to Phuket. A private transfer will take you to your hotel on reaching Phuket.

Phuket, Thailand's largest and best-known island, is a tropical dream destination for everyone to discover. You have a free day today to enjoy this island at your own pace. You can enjoy various activities like swimming or just sunbathe on white-sand beaches.

Today is your last day in Phuket. Make the most of your stay in this island paradise with optional day trips like a full-day tour to Phi Phi and Khai islands by speedboat.

Meet your driver at the scheduled time for your private transfer to the airport.
