Arrival in Bangkok
Upon your arrival at the airport, your tour guide will be waiting for you with a sign bearing your name and will then transfer you to your hotel. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy at your leisure, either to recover from jet lag or to explore your hotel.
City exploration and visit to Bangkok's top attractions
After breakfast, your journey begins with a visit to some of Bangkok's most famous sights, including Wat Pho, the Grand Palace, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, and the Temple of Dawn. Experience Bangkok's local transport – the longtail boat and the tuk-tuk. You'll feel like a local.
Have lunch at a local Thai restaurant.
Would you like to try the local Thai cuisine? Chinatown in Bangkok is a foodie paradise. Tasting delicious local dishes is simply part of the travel experience and will make you love the city even more. Embark on a culinary adventure with your guide.
Bangkok to Kanchanaburi | Local Markets
You will visit two unique markets in Thailand. After breakfast, you will travel for approximately two hours from downtown Bangkok to the Maeklong Railway Market. Here, the vendors are located directly on the railway tracks, which makes the market so special. Several times a day, the train passes right through the market. Afterwards, you will continue to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Thailand's most popular floating market. Here, too, the vendors are located on the river – a completely new market experience.
Have lunch at a local Thai restaurant.
The bridge over the River Kwai is located in the center of Kanchanaburi. It was built by prisoners of war under Japanese supervision during World War II. You will take a one-hour train ride along the "Death Railway" on the Kwai. Passing the original wooden viaduct, constructed by Allied prisoners of war, you can reflect on the horrors of war.
Have lunch at a local Thai restaurant and return to Bangkok.
Kanchanaburi to Ayutthaya
After breakfast, you will travel to Ayutthaya. Your first stop will be the Bang Pa-In Royal Palace. It was built in 1632 by the King of Ayutthaya. After Ayutthaya was conquered by neighboring countries, the capital was moved south, and the Bang Pa-In Royal Palace stood empty for 80 years. Beginning in 1881, Rama IV and Rama V had the palace restored and extensively expanded; the work was completed in 1896.
Historical ruins and the Buddha head in the tree roots
Stroll through the ruins in the historical park of Ayutthaya, the former capital of the ancient kingdom of Ayutthaya. Two temples are particularly worth visiting: Wat Mahathat and Wat Phra Si Sanphet. At Wat Mahathat, you can discover a Buddha head nestled among the tree roots.
In the evening, you'll board a traditional teakwood boat and enjoy a special dinner. While savoring the delicious food, you can observe the enchanting nighttime views and the local life. This charming, historic town offers the perfect opportunity to completely unwind.
From Ayutthaya to Khao Yai | An ancient temple and a wine tasting
On your way to Khao Yai, better known as "Monkey City," you'll stop in Lopburi. Phra Prang Sam Yot is the landmark of Lopburi and was built in the 13th century by the Khmer in the typical Khmer style. Based on the original architecture, local craftsmen made some modifications, thus creating Lopburi's own unique style.
The city is called "Monkey City" because countless monkeys roam freely there. Every year on the last weekend of November, the Monkey Buffet Festival takes place. The locals prepare a feast with abundant fruits. Hundreds of monkeys are invited to this festival – a spectacle that is as bizarre as it is spectacular.
PB Valley Estate, the largest winery in Khao Yai, now offers professional guided wine tastings to establish the Khao Yai wine region as a new destination for domestic and international tourists in Thailand. Your guide will take you around the entire estate in a 4x4 vehicle, explaining everything about viticulture, winemaking, and wine tasting.
Day trip to Khao Yai National Park
Khao Yai National Park is a nature park and wildlife reserve in northeastern Thailand. It is one of Thailand's most popular national parks for outdoor enthusiasts, attracting numerous tourists each year. The park is characterized by lush, humid tropical rainforests, evergreen mountain forests, and wild African grasslands. A wide variety of animals inhabit the park, including monkeys, Asian elephants, bats, lizards, sambar deer, and many more. The mountains also feature numerous magnificent waterfalls, nestled amidst verdant forests and spectacular scenery.
You will be accompanied by your guide on a hike. Enjoy the beautiful natural landscape and discover the traces of wild animals.
