Itinerary
Touch down in Thailand’s capital. If you’re arriving earlier in the day, feel free to get a head start on the fun - explore the city, grab a massage or chill poolside and soak up that first hit of sunshine. At 6pm, the trip officially kicks off as we meet at the hotel to get the lowdown on what’s ahead. Then it’s time to head out and dive straight into Bangkok life with authentic Pad Thai and a night out on legendary Khao San Road.
Bangkok, Thailand
Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand. More than fourteen million people live in the greater Bangkok area around the Chao Phraya River delta, almost a quarter of the country's population. It is one of the world's most-visited cities.
We'll start the day early, with so much to see, there's no time to waste. Catching Bangkok's water taxi system with the city locals is the most convenient way to get to our first stop - The Royal Palace. With our incredible local guide leading the charge, we will learn all about its 61 acres of incredible architecture and some traditions of the Thailand Royal Family. Then we'll jump on our private boat for a tour of the klongs (canals). Just listing today's sites gives us the butterflies. Once we get back to the hotel, ask your Trip Manager where to find the best local lunch before we wave goodbye to Bangkok. Bangkok, you've been a dream! But the show must go on. Fast becoming a must-visit in this part of the world, we make tracks to our next destination - the sleepy town of Kanchanaburi. We'll start with a stop to visit the most famous bridge in town & WWII Cemetery will give you a healthy dose of history. And then it’s time to reach our home for the night - right on the riverfront! (Yes, you can jump in the river directly from your room.) Nothing like being greeted with a delicious dinner of local specialities, right? We’ll finish the day off watching the sunset over the dazzling landscape.

It’s time to bid farewell to this lovely place. Why, you ask? Because we’re saying hello to the Chiang (‘city’ in Thai) of colourful temples! We’ll munch on a delicious breakfast, then head straight there. The Black House Museum. A blue temple, and a majestic white one too. Welcome to the city where the beauty of colours culminates. We’ll head straight to the Wat Rong Khun (White Temple) - a modern architectural marvel. You won’t really find any temple like this in Thailand!

Ending our Mekong River magic we arrive in the much-loved city of Luang Prabang. Temples dusted in gold, historic French mansions, & monks wrapped in saffron robes make this one of the prettiest places in Asia. Our explorations will involve a sunset from a hill-top stupa & a bout of shopping at the local night markets.

If you’re expecting a bustling Asian capital, prepare to be surprised. The vibe here is strictly chilled.

We'll take a coach out of Cambodia's capital this morning and drive into the heartland of an ancient masterpiece and what is still the largest religious monument in the world. You're free to explore today! You could relax poolside in the afternoon. Or choose to visit the Phare Circus (which also holds the Guinness World Record for the longest circus show) for some insane multicultural entertainment. There are plenty of things you could spice up your night with - but it's probably best to reserve your energy for our early morning visit to an Eighth Wonder of the World (and something we know you've all been waiting for).
Siem Reap, Cambodia
Siem Reap is the capital city of Siem Reap Province in northwestern Cambodia. It is a popular resort town and a gateway to the Angkor region. Siem Reap today - being a popular tourist destination. This is much owed to its proximity to the Angkor temples, the most popular tourist attraction in Cambodia.
Up before the sun and out to Angkor Wat for sunrise. Because watching the first light hit those temples is a proper jaw-dropper. Then it’s straight into explore mode with Angkor Thom and Ta Prohm (yep, the Tomb Raider temple where jungle roots are fully taking over). Later, golden hour gets a little more adventurous with an optional quad bike ride out by the rice paddies. For dinner tonight, we’ll swing by a brilliant social enterprise where disadvantaged people are trained in hospitality skills, and yes, the frozen shakes and seriously good food live up to the hype. The evening’s yours for Pub Street and the night markets if you’re keen. Make the most of your last night here.
