Journey back in time as you make your way through the former capitals of the Lanna Kingdom, Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, before continuing to Sukhothai and Ayutthaya, two UNESCO World Heritage Sites that both served as capitals of Siam. The Golden Triangle and Chiang Rai are your starting point where you will be amazed by the rich diversity of stunning temples and dramatic scenery from the Maekok River to hilltribe villages cradled in the valley.
You continue south visiting Chiang Mai before discovering the ancient ruins of Sukhothai and Ayutthaya. The world-famous Bridge over the River Kwai is a highlight when you arrive in Kanchanaburi. This magical tour ends Bangkok, where you will continue to encounter stunning temples, vibrant culture and bustling night markets with the legendary charm and friendliness of the Thai people. With free time in the city to explore, be sure to do some shopping, surprise your taste buds with delectable local flavours and round off the day enjoying the spectacular views as the sun sets over the city.
