Bangkok, Golden Triangle & Phuket Beach Extension, Small Group Tour

Bangkok → Phuket 11 days Up to 8

About this trip

This trip takes you from the energy of Bangkok up into Thailand's north, then back down to the beaches of the south, giving you a proper sense of how different the country's regions really are.

In Bangkok you get under the skin of the capital before heading north to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, where the pace slows and the focus shifts to temples, landscapes and local food. From there you fly south to Phuket, swapping mountains and forests for beaches and island scenery.

It runs in a small group of up to 8, with some parts guided and others left for you to explore at your own pace.

What you'll do

  • Explore Bangkok's main sights and street life
  • Travel overland from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai through Thailand's cultural heartland
  • Visit historic monuments and temples in the Golden Triangle region
  • Take in northern Thailand's landscapes and try regional dishes
  • Extend south to Phuket for beach time and tropical scenery
Good to know
  • Covers three distinct regions, so expect a fair amount of internal travel including a flight south
  • Mix of guided activities and free time, so it suits people happy to explore independently at points
  • Small group of up to 8 people
