In the morning transfer to the city of Kanchanaburi, at the convergence of the Khwae Noi and Khwae Yai Rivers. Journey by train across the bridge on the River Kwai and then visit the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre to learn about the history surrounding the Burma Railway. Afterwards, the group will visit the nearby Kanchanaburi War Cemetery.
Stretch those legs this morning on a hike into the fertile landscapes of Erawan National Park in the Tenasserim Hills. Enjoy a quick swim in the turquoise pools of Erawan Falls. In the afternoon, travel to the historic city of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya where the group will try some traditional Thai dishes for dinner on a rice barge from the 1930s that has been converted into a restaurant.
Visit the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Ayutthaya Historical Park where you will be able to walk down well-planned city streets to see beautiful palaces and Buddhist monasteries that inspired Thai architecture for years to come. After spending some time here, return to Bangkok where the group will board a flight to Chiang Mai. Dinner will be enjoyed at a traditional village in the countryside. It will be khantok-style and served on low pedestal trays.
Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of Chiang Mai’s morning markets. You’ll be with a local chef during your time there and will learn about Thai cuisine as you select ingredients for an included cooking class. For lunch the group will eat what they made during the class and will visit a historic temple together. Then, meet with one of the resident monks to learn about life in the temple. From there, listen to the chanting of monks at Wat Phra That Doi Sethep temple.
The day is yours. Check out Chiang Mai’s temples and choose from a variety of optional activities to fill your time. Maybe travel the rural lanes of the city in a tuk-tuk, or choose to take a cycling tour through rice paddies and the historic district. After dark, opt to visit Chiang Mai’s bustling night market.
Fly to Bangkok in the morning and hop on a traditional klong boat to ride through the winding canals. Stop for a visit to Wat Pho, the largest and oldest temple complex in Bangkok. See the grand statue of the Reclining Buddha and simply enjoy your surroundings.
