This trip offers breathtaking views and encounters with the hillside communities that make northern Thailand so unique. You'll visit sacred temples, climb some of northern Thailand's tallest peaks, and experience village culture off the beaten path.
This eight-day city-and-beach adventure showcases the best bits of two of Thailand's most-loved locations—with the perfect mix of diverse sightseeing and total relaxation. Travel by Skytrain, speedboat, tuk-tuk, and long-tail boat; hit the shops and the beach; see movie-star settings and local family-run workshops; visit glittering temples and neon-lit bars. Then venture into the forest to spend time with majestic Asian elephants, joining them for a mud bath and a swim in the river.
Get ready to discover the diversity of Thailand's best-loved cities and surroundings. Zip around the buzzing neon-lit streets of Bangkok on a tuk-tuk, watch local life go by as you glide through canal-side communities, and hop between UNESCO-listed temples. Then board the sleeper train and chug north to forested valleys and misty mountains where you'll take dips in hot springs, meet rescued elephants, and stand on the edge of three countries.
Experience the best of Bangkok and Chiang Mai on this eight-day getaway. Visit floating markets and temples in Bangkok, cycle through Thailand's old capital, Thonburi, and float down the river on a long-tail boat.

The adventure culminates with a day out in the spectacular Doi Inthanon National park.
Go off the beaten path, literally, as you travel through northern Thailand by tuk-tuk.

Visit an elephant camp before floating on a bamboo raft down the waterways of Mae Wang. Hike through lush forests, waterfalls, villages, and rice paddy fields in Mae Klang Luang. Finish your trip by spending the evening chowing down on delicious street food in Chiang Mai's lively neighborhoods.
