    TOUR DESCRIPTION

    Day 1 – Bangkok to Kanchanaburi: Get ready for an early start on this 3-day package tour from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. On the first day, experience the sights, sounds, and colors of the Damnoen Saduak floating market in the early morning, followed by a visit to the beautiful province of Kanchanaburi. Our first stop is the Mae Klong Railway Market, where food stalls and market booths are located right on the railway tracks! You'll be amazed at the hustle and bustle when a train passes by! On the way to the floating market, we'll visit a small palm sugar factory. There, you can watch the production of the sweet cake and, if you have a sweet tooth, sample some. In Damnoen Saduak, we'll board a motorboat for a trip through the canals to the floating market. Here, you'll experience the full splendor and vibrancy of this unique market. If you want to get even closer to the action, hop in a pedal boat and try your luck haggling for the market goods. We continue our journey to Kanchanaburi, where you will visit the Allied POW Cemetery and the famous Bridge on the River Kwai. Afterwards, we will visit the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre with its excellent museum, which is sure to interest anyone interested in the history of the railway and its construction. After lunch, we will take a boat trip to experience the river up close. Our first day concludes with a transfer to your hotel in Kanchanaburi.

    Day 2 – Kanchanaburi to Phitsanulok: We will pick you up from your hotel in Kanchanaburi and begin our journey with a 1.5-hour drive to Ayutthaya, the ancient capital of Siam. Once considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Ayutthaya was the heart of the flourishing Siamese kingdom on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. You will see the remains of over 400 stone temples and Buddha statues. Afterward, we continue north to the important historical city of Phitsanulok. There, we will visit the most important temple, Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat (Wat Yai), as well as a small bronze foundry for Buddha statues. Here, you will have the opportunity to watch the artisans creating reproductions of the Phra Buddha Chinnarat statues and observe the casting process (closed Mondays, Tuesdays, and public holidays). At the end of the day, we will return you to your hotel in Phitsanulok. We recommend spending the evening at the local night market.

    Day 3 – Phitsanulok to Chiang Mai: We will pick you up from your hotel in Phitsanulok and drive to Sukhothai. Sukhothai was founded in the 13th century as Thailand's first truly independent kingdom. We will explore Sukhothai's Old City, where you can admire the magnificent remains of temples and Buddha statues in the Sukhothai Historical Park. Afterwards, we continue to Lampang Province, where we will visit the city's most important temple, Wat Phra That Lampang Luang. Following our visit to Wat Phra That Lampang Luang, we will drive to Chiang Mai and transfer you to your hotel.
