      About this trip

      One night in Bangkok....

      From island hopping on a long-tail boat to jungle trekking in one of the oldest rainforests in the world, you won’t be disappointed in the Land of Smiles. Join us for one of the most coveted events in travel... The mass lantern release in Chiang Mai! This highly anticipated event sells out fast and is definitely a bucket list item! It is an awe-inspiring sight to witness thousands of lanterns drift into the sky simultaneously.


      Thailand's breathtaking landscape, mouth-watering food, relaxing massages and laid-back vibe make it the perfect travel destination. Did we mention that massages are only $8 each?! No matter your style, Thailand has something for everyone.

      Itinerary

      Day 1
      Bangkok

      Welcome to Thailand! Bangkok is an intoxicating and sometimes jarring mix of modern and ancient. It is home to an ancient mix of a breathtaking skyline, traditional architecture and gleaming temples bustling with tourists and locals. Everywhere you go, you are engulfed with the aromas of street food that truly capture the essence of Bangkok’s rich culture.


      Since most of you will be arriving after long plane rides and experiencing some level of jetlag, you will have the day to get used to the new time zone and your new surroundings.


      To make your stay more relaxing, the hotel offers a saltwater pool to lounge in if you'd like to unwind after the long journey.


      Included:

      • Activities: Arrival (at your own expense); Free time
      • Accommodation: Hotel

      Noteworthy countries to visit, however, the 4 flights (3 domestic & 1 international) are a bit too much for the duration of this trip e.g., given the distance between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh -- travel by minibus would have been a better option (also, providing a chance to visit a few villages along the way). The local guides knowledge-base were not consistent throughout this trip and definitely could be improved.

      A magical trip of a lifetime with a great tour guide, Marvil, and group of people. The activities were so much fun; the Aurora cabin was special & food was really good—even the reindeer! And the best part….we saw the Northern Lights 2 nights! 🥰

      This was a wonderful experience and I am so lucky to be with a group of amazing people on this trip! Marvil was fun, energetic and friendly, she had great positive energy. I loved the aurora cabins and would recommend this itinerary!

      Globedrifters is truly a first class outfit and the trip to Vietnam and Cambodia was absolutely amazing and unforgettable. Vietnam and Cambodia are wonderful countries with incredible things to see that should be on anyone’s bucket list. The people, food, and sites are just magnetic. And if you are going to hit these two countries, I would VERY HIGHLY recommend choosing GlobeDrifters - they were there to meet our every need, had amazing tour guides, took us to great restaurants, and had a great itinerary that allowed us to see the sites but also gave us time to explore on our own. It’s no wonder that for several of the attendees this was their 4 or 5th trip using GlobeDrifters (it was my first and I will use them again). Happy travels!!

      I thoroughly enjoyed my Thailand trip, which has a good mix of natural scenery, water activities, cultural exchange, city temples and markets. The tropical fruits and food were delicious! Our guides, Issy and Sandy, did their best to help us. Issy went above and beyond to help my vegan diet. I cannot thank her enough. Thanks to Globe Drifters for the wonderful memories!
