Thailand Family Adventure

Itinerary

Day 1 Bangkok

There are so many exciting ways to see the sights of Bangkok; hail a tuk tuk and join the throng of people hurrying through the streets, look down on the city from the skytrain or travel the traditional way, by boat.

Days 2-3 Kanchanaburi

Cruise through the canals of Bangkok to see the magnificent Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho and explore the city's chaotic floating markets. Then it's off to Kanchanaburi, our base for visiting the infamous Bridge on the River Kwai and to take a dip in the seven-tiered waterfall of Erawan National Park.

Day 4 Ayuthaya

Explore the ancient temples and sprawling ruins of Ayuthaya where 33 kings ruled Siam. There's plenty of time to explore, have a fascinating look at one of the richest periods in Siamese history and maybe even sneak in a game of hide and seek among the ruins!

Day 5 Chiang Mai

Get up close to hippos, gibbons and rhinos at the Chiang Mai Zoo. Enjoy the views from the hilltop temple of Doi Suthep before an evening at the colourful night market.

Day 6 Elephant Conservation Centre/Homestay

Visit the nearby Elephant Conservation Centre and watch them bathe before taking an unforgettable ride on one of these majestic creatures, through the jungle. Spend the night in a small Thai village and be welcomed into homes by our long-time local friends. Take a gentle bike ride around through the surrounding countryside before being treated to a traditional Thai khantohk dinner.

Days 7-9 Chiang Mai

Get up early and join the locals in giving alms to the monks or perhaps start the day stretching out with a yoga session. Jump on board bicycles and head out to the countryside to get a taste of rural life. There are loads of fun things for everyone in Chiang Mai. Take a boat trip down the river, explore the many temples or even try a Thai cooking class.

Days 10-12 Hua Hin

It's time to relax with some beachside fun. Cruise to a nearby island on a speedboat and maybe try your hand at fishing or try out water sports. In the evenings there's plenty of opportunity to sample the local food and maybe catch a fire dancing show.

Days 13-14 Bangkok

Returning to Bangkok there are still so many great sights to see. Check out the Grand Palace and Chinatown or visit the many markets.
