North Thailand Experience

Your adventure starts today. Arrive at any time before the welcome meeting this evening, where you'll meet your group and trip leader for the first time. Then head out to a favourite restaurant along the legendary Khao San Road, home to the best of Bangkok's nightlife!

We'll start the day exploring Bangkok's famous floating markets. Then our journey continues to Kanchanaburi: a stunning riverside town surrounded by tropical rainforest. Take it all in on a sunset cruise along the River Kwai.

Today we'll discover Erawan Falls, one of Thailand's best-kept secret nature spots. Take a dip into the bright turquoise pools and explore this jungle paradise.

Enjoy a free morning in Kanchanaburi. Next up is the ancient city of Ayutthaya, filled with enchanted temples. What better way to explore the ruins than with a scenic bike tour around the area? Hop on an overnight sleeper train this evening; Chiang Mai, here we come!

Chiang Mai promises the best of both worlds to travellers - vibrant cultural heritage and bustling city life! Today we'll visit the Wat Phra Maha Doi Suthep temple, with golden pagodas that look like something out of a fairytale. Enjoy a free evening in Chiang Mai to explore the local markets, listen to the live music and experience the nightlife.

Today is packed with adventure as we take a trek through the jungle, heading off the beaten path and keeping our eyes peeled for wildlife. Take in the stunning nature that surrounds you, from secret waterfalls to emerald rice terraces and high mountains. Our final stop is a once-in-a-lifetime moment as we spend the night at an authentic homestay, experiencing what life is like inside a traditional hill tribe village. Later, we'll kick back over a few drinks and get to know our host family!

This morning we'll be sailing back into Chiang Mai on bamboo rafts, stopping at a local waterfall along the way. We'll also visit an ethical elephant sanctuary, dedicated to rehabilitating these beautiful animals. Here, the elephants can freely roam the wilderness and enjoy a peaceful life inside their natural habitat.

Today we're flying through the jungle and crossing from canopy to canopy while hanging 50 metres in the air! More than an adrenaline rush, this activity is packed with gorgeous scenery and a chance to explore the rainforest like never before.

Enjoy a chilled morning in Chiang Mai. Later, we'll make our way to Pai: an iconic backpacker town famed for its colourful nightlife, plus all the nature getaways right outside. Get ready to discover its neon-lit bars and delicious night markets for an unforgettable evening.

Today we'll explore Pai's ultimate highlights, starting with the largest cave in Thailand! Then we're heading to the hot springs, where you can indulge in the warm waters and a clay mask. A stunning waterfall is nearby, and the views don't end there. We'll finish our epic day out at Pai Canyon, watching the sunset over the valley hilltops. Back in Pai, another fun night awaits!

Enjoy a free day to explore Pai however you like. Whether you feel like chilling by the pool, treating yourself to a massage or exploring more nature outside town, the choice is yours.

Today we're heading back to Chiang Mai and kicking off our return with a traditional cooking class. We'll head to a local market where our guides will select fresh ingredients. Then it's time to follow the recipe and fill up on a delicious plateful of homemade food!

You've heard of the Grand Canyon before, but did you know that Chiang Mai has its own version? Perfect for a relaxed day out, you can kick back in floating chairs, check out the climbing wall, ride the slides... it's basically a playground for adults! Enjoy one final night out back in Chiang Mai with your travel mates.

Your adventure finishes today and travellers are welcome to depart at any time. For any help with onward or return travel, your trip leader can help you out.
