Bangkok & Golden Triangle, Small Group Tour

Bangkok → Golden Triangle Park 7 days Up to 8

About this trip

This week takes you from the noise of Bangkok up into the quieter hills of northern Thailand, ending in the Golden Triangle. You get a proper contrast between the two sides of the country in a short space of time.

After a couple of days taking in Bangkok's capital-city pace, you head north to Chiang Mai and spend four days working your way through to Chiang Rai. This stretch is the heart of the trip — old temples and monuments, forested landscapes, local food, and encounters with the region's wildlife.

It's run in a small group of up to eight, with an easy pace and partial guiding, so there's room to explore on your own terms as well as with the group.

What you'll do

  • Explore Bangkok's main sights and city life
  • Travel overland from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai
  • Visit historic monuments across northern Thailand
  • Take in the Golden Triangle region's landscapes
  • Sample local food along the way
  • Spot regional wildlife in the north
Good to know
  • Small group, capped at 8 travellers
  • Partially guided, so expect some independent time alongside group activities
  • Easy pace, suits families and those who don't want a rushed itinerary
