About this trip
Eight days across Bangkok and Chiang Mai, covering the big sights of both cities alongside some time in the countryside around Chiang Mai.
Expect temples, a floating market, street food and a guide who walks you through it all for most of the trip, plus a change of pace with bamboo rafting, a waterfall and an elephant encounter outside the city.
It's an easy-going introduction to Thailand rather than a deep dive — good if you want the highlights without planning the logistics yourself.
What you'll do
- Visit the Grand Palace and a royal temple in Bangkok
- Explore a floating market
- Join a street food tour
- Climb to a mountain-top temple in Chiang Mai
- Go bamboo rafting and visit a waterfall
- Spend time with elephants at an elephant experience
- Guided for 6 of the 8 days, with some time unguided
- Easy pace, suited to sightseeing rather than trekking or adventure sports
- Runs over Christmas and New Year
