What can you expect?
Chaotic yet charming, Bangkok is a city that never sleeps. Indulge in the pleasures of the famous Khao San Road, treat yourself to a Thai massage, or sip on a Chang Thai beer.
We visit the Royal Palace, which boasts magnificent architecture and golden splendor, and the Wat Pho massage institute, where we find the statue of the largest reclining Buddha in Thailand. We stroll through the colorful flower market and take a local ferry along the city’s main waterway, the Chao Praya River. We also stop at the largest shopping center in Bangkok, whose grandeur contrasts the Praya River.
Colorful markets! We visit the famous Bangkok floating market and take a boat ride through the canals like true locals. At a coconut farm, we will see how coconut sugar and coconut oil products are made. We will visit a traditional Thai house! We will be amazed by the train market, where one moment we are walking along the railroad tracks and buying food, and the next moment a train is passing by.
The once mighty city of Ayutthaya is now in ruins, but even these ruins carry their own weight. There is no comparison to ancient Thai architecture!
In northern Thailand, we explore the city of Chiang Mai. We visit an elephant sanctuary, where we socialize with elephants, feed them, pet them, and bathe with them in the river. What an experience! We visit an orchid and butterfly farm, and for the most courageous, there is also time in the Kingdom of Tigers. We take part in a cooking workshop, where we are first taken on a tour of the local food market, then we put on aprons and cook a late lunch.
On the holy mountain of Doi Suthep, we learn more about Buddhism. We take part in a Buddhist ceremony, light a candle, and offer flowers. We can listen to a monk’s mantra or have our fortune told. To conclude our northern adventure, we visit the night market, where we can watch a show featuring the most beautiful women in the world – Thai ladyboys!
For the last part of our trip we relax on paradise beaches with white sand and crystal clear sea. We enjoy massages, sunbathing, and lively evening life by the sea. We treat ourselves to a trip around the island and snorkel on the coral reefs in the surrounding area.
Koh Tao is only about 20 km2 in size, but it offers everything!
On the last evening before returning home, we experience the wild pulse of Bangkok at night. We take a tuk-tuk ride through the colorful capital. We treat ourselves to an excellent dinner in the Chinese quarter, stroll through the red-light district of Nana Plaza, and toast at the top of one of the tallest skyscrapers in Thailand.
This is colorful Thailand.
We stay in double rooms in 3* and 4* hotels.
Thailand boasts a tolerable level of humidity in January, which means it is not too hot. Temperatures range from 25°C to 34°C. Sunrise is at 6:30 a.m. and sunset at 6:30 p.m.
We will explore the country in various ways. – by public transport, boats, ships, private minibus, and short domestic flights. We will also travel by ferry twice.
The trip is dynamic. It includes walks, four changes of accommodation (Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Koh Tao, Bangkok), and travel between locations. The days can be long, but they are full of experiences and not too strenuous. The trip covers everything from cuisine, animals, nature, beaches, massages, culture, and religion to evening entertainment and markets.
