Thailand Discovery - 10 days

Thailand is full of pleasant contradictions and its modern charms interweave its captivating history. This is evidenced in escaping the thriving streets of Bangkok to its sparkling Grand Palace or a cruise on the tranquil river. Relax in a hidden jungle retreat perched on the edge of the river or get off the beaten path and explore the Sukhothai Historical Park by bicycle. Finish in delightful Chiang Mai, a perfect blend of modern style and traditional culture.

1.  Cycling is a fun way to grasp the scale of Sukhothai Historical Park and gives you access to the less-visited temples.
2.  An intimate chat with the resident monks at Doi Suthep temple reveals the Buddhist lifestyle and philosophy.
3.  Take a cruise on the Chao Phraya river exploring the Klongs of the city nicknamed "Venice of the East".
