About this trip
A private, tailor-made week that pairs Bangkok's markets and temples with the ruins of Ayutthaya before finishing on Phuket's beaches. You get a guide throughout, but the pace is yours to set.
Bangkok covers the essentials on foot — local markets and the Grand Palace — before you head north to Ayutthaya to walk the old capital's temple ruins. From there it's south to Phuket for a few days with nothing scheduled but sea and sand.
It suits anyone who wants Thailand's cultural highlights without the logistics of arranging them solo, then a proper stretch of downtime to close things out.
What you'll do
- Walking tour of Bangkok's local markets
- Visit the Grand Palace
- Explore the ruins of Ayutthaya, including Wat Mahathat
- Relax on Phuket's beaches
- Time for water-based activities in Phuket
- Private tour — itinerary and pace can be personalized

- Suits families and those who prefer a guided but flexible style of travel
Worth it if you want seamless logistics and expert guides who feel like friends. Think twice if you're budget-tight—tipping guides is customary and adds up.
- Guides like Sydney and Amy are genuinely exceptional; reviewers stayed in touch and called them friends after the trip.
- Everything from flights to excursions to dinners is pre-arranged; you literally just show up with zero logistics stress.
- Tipping guides is customary in Thailand; bring cash as it's expected and adds unbudgeted costs throughout the week.
- Travel specialist Rosie Ye remains responsive even after full payment; personalisation and flexibility are built into the service.
