THE LAND OF SMILES

Friendly, food obsessed, and steeped in culture, Thailand tempts visitors with warm landscapes and golden sunshine. Our nine-day experience of Thailand skirts the major tourist traps in favor of the locals’ picks. You’ll join our guides for an adventure that takes you to temples, sanctuaries, beaches, and other highlights of this diverse Southeast Asian hub.

DAY 3 HIGHLIGHT

Temple on the mountain

A morning flight takes you to Chiang Mai, the former capital of the Lanna Kingdom. Founded in 1296, Chiang Mai houses over 300 historical temples in a modern, booming city. At sunset, you’ll head to the renowned temple of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep to observe the monks in evening mediation. After a traditional northern Thai Khantoke dinner and dance ceremony, feel free to check out the legendary nightlife or the extensive night markets.

DAY 4 HIGHLIGHT

Elephant Sanctuary

The symbol of Thailand is the elephant, and today you get to spend quality time with these magnificent creatures. At one of the leading elephant conservation parks, learn how Thailand is working to protect the remaining numbers in the wild. After a group dinner, you’ll have some free time—we suggest trying a traditional Thai massage or attending the local Muay Thai exhibition.

DAY 5 HIGHLIGHT

Railay Bay

Catch a morning flight to Krabi, then climb aboard Thai longboats and head to the spectacular vistas of Railay Bay. Soaring limestone cliffs rising from palm-lined beaches are the backdrop to your picture-perfect dinner under the stars.

DAY 6 HIGHLIGHT

Paradise found

Spend your free day on one of the beaches—all walking distance from your room—or unwind by the resort pools. If you’re craving more adventure, there’ll also be plenty of opportunity for hiking, spelunking, rock climbing, or watching the local monkeys. Just be sure to not miss the legendary sunset!
