Itinerary
From the historic heart of Bangkok to the tranquil countryside of Laos, this 13-day small group tour invites you to experience Southeast Asia in a whole new way. Traverse the iconic Thailand-Burma Railway, hike through the evocative Hellfire Pass, and canoe to your unique floating accommodation. In Chiang Rai, enjoy leisure time before crossing by slow boat into Laos, where remote villages, hanging bridges, and secluded waterfalls await.
With a moderate activity rating, this trip is perfect for seniors and experienced travelers seeking active exploration paired with cultural immersion. The unique highlight: authentic, locally crafted experiences and deep connections with your hosts—revealing the true spirit of Thailand and Laos beyond the tourist trail.
day 1Bangkok
Bustling Bangkok is the heart and soul of Thailand and offers plenty of adventure. For Day one though, we are going to take it a bit easy. Step aboard a converted rice barge to set sail along the Chaopraya River as you settle in to Thailand and get to know your fellow travelers. Dig into a delicious meal of curries, jasmine rice, tofu stir fry and mango sticky rice and chat to your CEO as you float downriver and take in the vistas of Bangkok from aboard the boat. Welcome to Thailand and to Laos, and we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy the adventure.

Customer Reviews
Excellent
Our tour was an incredibly enjoyable and memorable experience, especially considering that it was the first run of the tour. I learned a lot about both countries and felt 100% invested in and part of the experiences, food, people and places. Something outside of your control that would have enhanced the experience was more tour members. We only had 4 guests, and there was a lot of together time for complete strangers. Fortunately we got along well.

Trip was as advertised, CEO Tom-tom was the best
Excellent
I spent a couple of days myself in Bangkok and found that wonderful, not sure why no city activities are included, but those days definitely added to my view of Thailand. Also not sure why we didn't go to chiang mai but overall it provided a lovely contrast of history and current cultural and spiritual customs. And the scenery is beautiful
