Treasures of Thailand: A 15-Day Adventure

Discover Bangkok, a cultural hotspot, shopping mecca, and a tourist’s dream. This Asian metropolis is known for its vibrant energy, diverse culture, and friendly people. While it may be overwhelming at first, its addictive charm will soon captivate you. We’ll pick you up at the airport and take you to your hotel.

Get ready for one of the most unforgettable days of your trip. We’ll take you to three of Bangkok’s most important and popular landmarks. First, we’ll visit Wat Arun, known as the “Temple of Dawn”, famous for its 82-meter-tall central prang covered in Chinese porcelain. Its Khmer architecture offers spectacular views of the Chao Phraya River. Next, we’ll explore Wat Pho, home to Thailand’s largest reclining Buddha, an impressive 46-meter-long golden statue. It’s also a center for traditional Thai massage. Finally, we’ll visit the Grand Palace, a complex of buildings that served as the royal residence for centuries. Its exuberant architecture, stunning halls, and exquisite gardens are truly breathtaking. In short, these three places are architectural gems that reflect the rich history and culture of Thailand.

Also known as Siam, the ruins of the ancient capital are now the Ayutthaya Historical Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991. Ornate monasteries and temples dot the landscape of this former Siamese capital, destroyed by the Burmese in the 18th century. The remnants of this heritage offer a glimpse into its past splendor. The ruins and hundreds of Buddhas in yellow robes will transport you back in time through Thai history. You’ll have the opportunity to offer a lotus flower and receive a blessing from a Buddhist monk.

Nestled amidst stunning mountains and lush countryside, Chiang Mai, with over 300 temples, is often called the “Rose of the North” due to the beautiful flowers that bloom in its cool mountain climate. This charming city offers a more relaxed and pleasant atmosphere than Bangkok, while still providing all modern conveniences. Today, we’ll visit Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, often simply referred to as Doi Suthep after the mountain on which it stands. Considered one of Thailand’s most important temples, legend has it that it houses relics of the Buddha.

Get ready for an unforgettable day filled with exciting activities! We’ll start with a visit to a stunning orchid farm, home to over 50 different species. Next, we’ll head to the Elephant Poopoopaper factory to learn about the unique paper-making process. To cool off, we’ll go white-water rafting – it’s sure to be a blast! Then, we’ll visit the Karen Long Neck Hill tribe village to learn more about this fascinating culture and interact with the locals. After lunch, we’ll have an unforgettable experience at an elephant sanctuary where you can feed, bathe, and spend time with these amazing creatures.

The White Temple, Wat Rong Khun, is a visually stunning and unconventional Buddhist temple. Its striking design, featuring intricate details and a pure white exterior, sets it apart from traditional Thai temples. Construction began in 1997 and is still ongoing. While the exact completion date is uncertain, it’s estimated to be finished around 2070. Alongside the White Temple, you’ll also visit the Blue Temple and the Black House.

Today we say goodbye to Chiang Mai and get ready to enjoy the paradisiacal beaches of Thailand. Our flight is scheduled for today, so please remember not to exceed your baggage allowance. After arriving at our hotel, you’ll have the rest of the day free to explore Ao Nang. From stunning sunsets to a vibrant nightlife with a variety of bars and restaurants, you’re sure to have a fantastic time.

With its beautiful white-sand beach and crystal-clear waters, it’s the perfect place to sunbathe, swim, and take a leisurely stroll. Surrounded by stunning cliffs and rock formations, it’s even more spectacular. We want you to relax and recharge your energy for the rest of your trip. How does a Thai massage sound? Or perhaps you’d prefer to simply lie on the beach and soak up the sun. The choice is yours, but we’re sure you’ll enjoy your day off.

Discover the beauty of Hong Island, a must-visit destination in Krabi. This island is famous for its unique lagoon, accessible only by kayak. Explore the surrounding limestone cliffs, swim in the crystal-clear waters, and relax on the pristine beaches. Hong Island is a true paradise waiting to be explored.

Let’s take a break from the beaches and head to one of Thailand’s most incredible destinations: Khao Sok. Nestled within the world’s oldest rainforest, Khao Sok is home to towering limestone mountains, deep valleys, stunning landscapes, exciting caves, and diverse wildlife. Today is your day to explore! You could take a canoe trip through the country’s largest jungle and spot playful monkeys along the riverbank. Optional hikes are also available through the many trails and canals within Khao Sok National Park (entrance fee not included).

Nestled within Khao Sok National Park, this man-made lake has become a popular tourist destination thanks to its unique natural surroundings. Surrounded by towering limestone cliffs, the lake offers breathtaking views. Floating bungalows provide the perfect opportunity to enjoy panoramic views and disconnect from the world. With no internet or WiFi, and limited electricity, you can truly escape and connect with nature.

Wake up just steps from the lake and get ready to explore this amazing lake once again! We’ll be on the lookout for langurs, the most common monkeys in Khao Sok, especially around Cheow Lan Lake. After breakfast, we’ll head back to the mainland and continue to Phuket, where you can experience some of the most vibrant nightlife in Thailand. (Espectáculo Siam Niramit)

The Phi Phi Islands are a must-visit paradise in Thailand. You’ve probably heard of Maya Bay, made famous by the movie “The Beach,” though it’s currently closed to the public. But don’t worry, there are still plenty of stunning spots to explore. One of the most iconic places is Monkey Beach, where you can interact with playful macaques in a breathtaking natural setting. Remember to keep a respectful distance, as these are wild animals.

Today is a free day! Relax and recharge at the hotel, where you’ll be treated like royalty. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, explore Patong Beach, with its bustling streets filled with shops, restaurants, bars, and malls. Alternatively, you could embark on one last adventure and visit James Bond Island, made famous by the 1974 film “The Man with the Golden Gun.”

Your trip concludes today. Feel free to relax and enjoy the hotel amenities, or explore the local area. We’ve arranged a taxi to take you to the airport. We hope you’ve had a wonderful time and encourage you to share your memories with your friends. Please let us know if you need to extend your stay.
