We settle into the rhythms of Bangkok, traveling on long-tail boats and bicycle rickshaws, to discover famous Buddhas, ancient temples, bustling markets and the incredible Grand Palace. We also enjoy an elephant ride and bamboo river rafting.
After an overnight sleeper train to Chiang Mai, we enjoy a Thai cooking class and a day of rock climbing. To work up an appetite for more good food, we ride bikes to a nearby village where we teach English to local children and enjoy their music and games.
In the lush, forested mountains of the North, we trek to the heart of ancient Thailand. This once-in-a-lifetime adventure allows us to meet local hill tribes and experience an ancient way of life. We travel between tribes during the day and spend the evenings in traditional huts, immersed in tribal culture.
We then fly south to Thailand's famous white sand beaches, tropical blue waters and sunshine. To experience the islands, we sea kayak, snorkel, explore sea caves, and camp on our own private island. After enjoying our last days together in paradise, we head back to Bangkok and say farewell to this amazing country.
