Thailand is a vibrant country in South East Asia know for its tropical landscapes, ornate Buddhist temples and rich cultural history and traditions.
Over the 10 day adventure we will visit 3 very different regions of Thailand.
Bangkok- A vibrant chaotic yet organised city , stretched alongside the Chao Praya River , where serene golden Buddhist temples, sparkling Grand Palaces ,buzzing street markets and food vendors sit shoulder to shoulder beside glistening modern skyscrapers.
It’s a thrilling sensory overload and here we will spend 3 nights.
Chiang Mai- The ‘Rose of the north” Is known for its mountainous views.
Here we uncover ancient charms of the lanna style buildings and Temples, pluck and sip your tea in the cooler climate tea plantations and explore and experience street food and shopping on the famous Sunday night street markets. Here is a much slower pace then Bangkok
Chiang Rai- 3 hours further north of Chiang Mai- This small city sits near the Golden Triangle, where the borders of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet. It’s also famous for an unconventional well known architecture temple.
Chiang Rai will also be where we spend our time participating in a 3 day wellness retreat to finish our Thailand Tour. Think daily Yoga, organic vegetarian food, massages, meditation , swimming pools, bike riding…. And you can say no to Yoga and just grab another massage or site-seeing trip if you wish. Choose your own adventure :)
