Bangkok and Chiang Mai
In Bangkok, our guide Ann and driver "Mr. Ot" (I don't know how to spell his name) were very friendly and professional. You simply can't underestimate the value of having an English speaking guide to show you around, and a driver with a comfortable, sizeable, air-conditioned van take you from place to place. Ann taught us so much about Thailand's history, food, and religion. Mr. Ot always opened our door with a smile, and had cool towels and ice-cold bottled water for us. More

Excellent guide in Siem Reap
Our recent time spent in Siem Reap was made even more memorable by our expert guide, Som Piseth. Som was knowledgeable, attentive, flexible and super helpful - we learnt so much about Siem Reap and Cambodia in our 3 days with him. His English was excellent and his knowledge of, and pride in, his country was outstanding. We would highly recommend Som for anyone wanting an excellent guide in Siem Reap! More

Suggested Route
Itinerary in Detail
Your private guide and driver will greet you at the airport upon your arrival and drive you to the hotel where you can rest or wander around the hotel.
The famous Wat Pho is a must-see in Bangkok and the sacred Reclining Buddha attracts a great number of local citizens and travelers. Buddhist monks hold a holy ceremony here every day. As the sun rises, the monks gather in the hall and start chanting solemnly. You will have the chance to join this pious ritual.
Take a Thai tuk tuk ride via Pak Khlong Talat flower market. Visit the Grand Palace to see its imposing architecture, precious paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts. Hop on a long-tailed boat and cruise along the Chao Phraya River to the grand Wat Arun.
Make a final stop at Bangkok's bustling China Town to see a different side of the city.
You will witness trains passing by a mere two feet in front of you at Maeklong Railway Market, just like a scene from an action movie.
The stalls close and reopen according to the train's arrival and departure. This is something that you can only experience here.
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market will satisfy your curiosity about a typical floating market. The canals are filled with boats scrambling to sell fresh fruit, snacks, and other goods. Take a long-tailed boat down the canals of this bustling market
After having breakfast, your guide and driver will meet you in the hotel lobby and drive you to the airport to catch your flight to Phuket.
Your guide and driver will pick you up from the airport and take you to the hotel.
Enjoy your breakfast at the hotel and make your way through scenic agricultural areas, rolling hills, and beaches, to arrive at Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Phuket. Your guide will tell you the history of the sanctuary and give you knowledge of the elephants while you make preparations to meet them. Unlike other commercial places, riding and performance of the elephants are not allowed here. You will spend a half-day with the free-roaming elephants by feeding and bathing them, or simply being their playmate.
Enjoy a lunch of traditional Thai food consisting of freshly cooked Pad Thai and seasonal fruit. Say goodbye to the friendly elephants and return to the hotel.
The Phi Phi Islands have a popular reputation for their emerald waters, sugar-white beaches and relaxing resorts, which make them some of the top destinations in Thailand.
Hop on a speedboat at the Boat Lagoon Marina and visit Bamboo Island first. A particularly enchanting island of white sand, sparkling crystal-clear water, and a cloudless blue sky. You can swim or simply enjoy the sunshine. Continue to Yong Island, which is an ideal place for snorkeling. You can see antler corals and colorful tropical fish beneath the beautiful water.
Enjoy a simple local buffet lunch on arrival at Koh Phi Phi Don before taking a dip in the Viking Cave, known for its swifts' nests, the main component of bird's nest soup.
Cruise back to Phuket and transfer to your hotel.
Fully relax and enjoy family time on a sunny beach at your leisure.
Catch a flight from Phuket to Bangkok then take your flight home.
