The adventure begins bustling Bangkok. The capital of Thailand, here you’ll set out on a private-guided experience to discover the Grand Palace and the many historic temples within the city, capping-off the activity with a river-side meal. Later, visit an authentic floating market outside of the city, then board a long-tail boat for a scenic cruise along the Mekong River.

Next Stops: Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai - sister cities separated by jungle and mountain, each with unique, can’t-miss attractions. In Chiang Rai, join your private guide and head to the northern borderlands for an informative and scenic exploration of the Golden Triangle, visiting key sites including the Royal Project at Doi Tung and the Hall of Opium near Don Sao. Shifting scenes to Chiang Mai, you’ll arrive in the city by private vehicle after stopping to examine the striking and modern temple known as Wat Rong Khun, or the White Temple, and later set out on a guided exploration of the city, taking the time to explore the city’s renowned night markets. Your final stop in the region will surely be a memorable one: the world’s first elephant hospital. After taking the time to visit the long-term patients, gentle pachyderms, the outing is completed with a visit to the iconic temples found in Lampang and Lamphun.

Rounding out the itinerary, you’ll be whisked away to Siem Reap, gateway to Angkor Wat. More than a check-point en route to what may be the most remarkable temples on the planet, there is much to see and do in the city. Your city-stay begins with a traditional Apsara dance performance, paired with dinner, and is highlighted by a privately-guided tour of extraordinary Angkor Wat, complemented by an exclusive visit to the Angkor Conservation Center with a resident archeologist. The final experience on your itinerary – giving alms with local monks in the Cambodian countryside – will surely put the entire experience into perspective, accenting the spiritual depth of the locals who for centuries have revered, respected and conserved the land.
