Departure in the morning to reach the pier and take the public boat-buses to the center, on the right bank and the Pak Klong Talad flower market district.

We start our day with a visit to the Grand Palace of Bangkok, built in 1782, which includes several magnificent buildings, including the Wat Phra Kaeo (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), which houses a beautiful Emerald Buddha dating back to the 14th century.

Then, we walk to Wat Pho, one of the oldest temples in Bangkok, to see its reclining Buddha.

Early morning wake-up to head to the outskirts of Bangkok, to the colorful, lively, and flavorful floating market of Damnoen Saduak.

By boat, along the narrow canals of the market, we discover the stalls of goods joyfully swaying on the water. We negotiate for fresh fruits, clothing, or Thai masks from a wooden boat with vendors proudly wearing straw hats and vibrant dresses.

We then head to the town of Amphawa, a small town just 15 minutes from Damnoen Saduak that lives by the rhythm of its markets and small river commerce.

We visit Wat Bang Kung (Kai Bang Kung), commonly known as the Banyan Tree Temple, named so since its chapel was enveloped by the roots and branches of a banyan tree.

In its gardens, we can notably observe life-sized representations of wrestlers, commemorating the Battle of Ayutthaya between Thailand and Burma at the end of the 13th century.

We cannot leave Amphawa without making a brief stop at the Maeklong Market, where, four times a day, the fruit and vegetable stalls are hastily folded up as the train passes through the market. (Train passes at 5:00 PM)

Finally, we return to Bangkok after a day full of experiences at Thailand's markets.

Day accompanied by an English-speaking guide

We set off to explore the Bang Pa-in Palace, built in the 17th century and abandoned after the destruction of Ayutthaya. The palace was restored and expanded in the mid-19th century by the King, who made it his summer residence.

From the palace, we will travel to Ayutthaya by traditional boat on the river. Along the way, we will discover the Thai way of life along the water, the wooden stilt houses, the rice barge convoys towed to Bangkok warehouses, and the temple spires pointing towards the sky.

We will arrive in Ayutthaya, the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Siam.

After lunch, we'll explore the historic center of the city, including Wat Mahathat , dating back to the late 14th century. We'll then continue to Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, which once served as the royal temple and is the largest in the city. Finally, we'll visit Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, famous for its reclining Buddha.

We fly to Chiang Rai, our first stop in the north of the country. Upon arrival at the airport, we are greeted by our guide and driver. Transfer to the hotel.

We begin our stay with a visit to the extraordinary Wat Rong Khun "White Temple," a contemporary creation by one of Thailand's most famous artists: Chalermchai Kositpipat.

In reality, while the site mimics the appearance of a religious complex, its purpose is quite different: the nine buildings house extraordinary works of art, from meditating Buddha statues to pop culture idols like Michael Jackson, as well as murals celebrating the doctrines of Theravada Buddhism. Its pristine white color gives the building a unique and surprising charm.

Continuing to Wat Rong Sua Ten, also known as the "Blue Temple," in Chiang Rai. This temple is the work of a disciple of the architect Chalermchai.

There, you'll observe sculptures of Buddha in lotus position, as well as figures of demons and legendary nagas, half human and half serpent, along with paintings illustrating the events of Gautama's earthly life.

Our day concludes with a visit to Wat Huay Pla Kung, often mistakenly referred to as the Grand Buddha of Chiang Rai due to its large white statue, which is actually a representation of the Goddess of Mercy. The temple is also nicknamed the "9-Story Temple" because of its 9-story pagoda, which can be climbed to the top for a view of the surrounding rice fields.

Day accompanied by an English-speaking guide.

Overnight at Nak Nakara for 3 nights.

In the early morning, we meet our accompanying team, then depart towards the Mekong River and the Golden Triangle, the point where the Thai, Burmese, and Laotian borders converge, taking the route along the banks of the Mekong.

Continuing along the Mekong banks to a viewpoint overlooking the Mekong and the huge "decadent Sino-Roman style" casino on the Laotian bank of the river.

Visit to the splendid Hall of Opium Museum, built into the side of one of the hills overlooking the Mekong Valley.

On the way back, we make a stop in small villages of the Yao and Akha communities. If time and your inclination allow, we can also visit a Padaung community, a mountain people and a branch of the Karenni ethnic group, originally from neighboring Myanmar, who have found refuge in Thailand. The women of this community are known for wearing the famous golden spiral collars that give the impression of elongated necks.

We continue our journey through the mountains to Tha Ton, a charming village located not far from the Burmese border. With its hill tribes, picturesque guesthouses, and unique setting along the Kok River, it has all the charm to captivate you. The road to get there is equally stunning, with its valleys, hills, and lush green rice fields stretching as far as the eye can see.

From Thaton, we board our long-tail boat and begin our cruise on the Kok River, which will take us back to Chiang Rai. Along the way, you will appreciate the magnificent landscapes of the region, the life of the villagers, and observe herds of water buffaloes cooling off in the muddy waters, as well as a rich and varied birdlife.

We will then explore other small workshops in the little streets, whether for umbrella making, Sa paper production, or other crafts (silver and wood work).

Today, we explore the magnificent Doi Suthep Temple, located in the mountains at an altitude of 1200 meters.

This beautiful Buddhist temple invites you to pious meditation in an atmosphere filled with silence and mysticism, where every stone, every statue, and every step reveals an aspect of Buddhism.
