Taste of Thailand - 7 days

Thailand is well known to have many highlights and hidden gems but the culture and welcoming people are the jewel in its crown. Get a taste of the real Thailand on a journey from bustling Bangkok, through tranquil waterways and lush jungle hideaways, to the ancient beauty of historic Chiang Mai, where traditional culture blends seamlessly with a contemporary style. This journey is ideal for those with limited time but a desire to uncover authentic Thailand.

1.  Surrounded by lush jungle on the banks of the river, the River Kwai Resotel provides an insight into the local people’s way of life.
2.  Discover Thai cuisine during an interactive cooking lesson on the banks of Chaoa Praya River.
3.  Become immersed in local life when you wander the colourful Wororot Markets in Chiang Mai, then cross the river to explore the ancient Wat Gade community.

You have the benefit of our professional English-speaking local guides and when your departure reaches seven or more travellers you will also be accompanied by an expert Western tour leader. Their insight and knowledge means you can expect experiences no guidebook can offer, and you will be inspired by their passion. Having them accompany you for the entire journey means they can impart their vast knowledge and experience of the local culture and history and can answer any questions you may have.

Our style of travel is ideal for the solo traveller. You’ll meet like minded people, and always have someone to eat with at night. We even offer a ‘Willing to share’ option on all Classic Journeys so you don’t have to pay a single supplement. If we can’t match you with another ‘Willing to share’ traveller of the same sex, you get a single room at no extra cost! more info
