Fully Explore Thailand 14 Days | Luxury Tour

A visit to the Royal Grand Palace, the nation's landmark and most praised royal monument in Thailand, with the enclosed and dazzling Wat Phra Kaew, is a must. Wat Phra Kaew also called the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, is well known for its Golden Chedi, Pantheon of the Chakri Kings, and Eight-Colored Tower. In Thailand, it is considered by many to be a living example of a classical Siamese Court, being the former residence of the kings of Thailand. Wat Pho is regarded as the first public education center and is sometimes called "Thailand’s first university." Mural paintings, inscriptions, and statues in the temple educated people on various subjects such as literature, warfare, archaeology, astronomy, geology, and meditation, and it is home to traditional Thai massages. Here, experience an afternoon trip along the bustling Chao Phraya River and the quiet Klong (canals) in a long-tail boat, in which you can enjoy scenes of Bangkok life. We will bring you to a more traditional and serene way of living around Thonburi residential areas, away from all the skyscrapers and modern buildings of Bangkok City Centre. We will also stop by the "Temple of Dawn" (officially named Wat Arun). Finally, a visit to the Flower and Vegetable market will round off this day. Located close to the Chao Phraya River, the place pictures a rural piece of Bangkok where a vast selection of all kinds of flowers, especially orchids and tropical flowers, can be found. Also, observe how the merchants create very special flower garlands. Return to the hotel.

This busy Bangkok full-day tour will take you first to the rural yet world-famous floating market of Damnoen Saduak, about 100 kilometers west of Bangkok. It is generally known as the Klong Ton Khem Floating Market or Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Damnoen Saduak officially has three floating markets. A narrow canal flanked with food stalls and souvenir shops from the principal market at Ton Kem. The markets in the farther South are rarely visited by Her Kui and Khun Pitak. Photographers at Ton Kem will get their best shots from the bridge over the canal and the shed on the right. Nowadays, the market is bustling with activity from very early in the morning until about 11.00 am. Return to the hotel. 

Visit Thailand's former capital, Ayutthaya, located approximately 75 kilometers north of Bangkok, which is one of the destinations you must visit. The mix of cultures in Ayutthaya began in the mid-16th century when ships from Ayutthaya plied the Asian seas, trading with neighboring countries. When the Dutch showed up in the 17th century, Ayutthaya became a port city, and trade routes were extended to China, Japan, Indonesia, Portugal, Holland, and France, and even up to the Scandinavian countries later. Although the ancient villages of foreign traders lining the Chao Phraya riverbanks were abandoned when the city was sacked by Burmese troops in 1767, some remnants have survived and now showcase the city's past glory. The tour will start at the Summer Palace of the late King Rama V, commonly known as “Bang Pa-In”. You will then continue to the magnificent ruins of early splendor that Ayutthaya is famous for worldwide. We will pass or visit all the most impressive ruins of this World Heritage Site. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant in Ayutthaya. We will eventually return to Bangkok.

Depart the hotel for a Chiang Mai city tour and visit the most interesting temples (Wat Chiang Man). The oldest temple in Chiang Mai town was built in 1296 by King Mengrai of Lanna kingdom. 

The temple is famous for its Lanna-style chedi supported by rows of elephant-shaped buttresses. Continuing with Wat Chedi Luang, Wat Pra Sing, and War Sri Suphan (silver temple) are excellent, unique, and intrinsic architectural marvels built entirely by skilled traditional workers from the local community. The excursion included visiting the Warorot Market, the first and most famous market in Chiang Mai. Visit the Market for flowers, local food, and local products.

After breakfast, check out, depart from the hotel, and drive to Chiang Rai, stopping at Mae Kajan Hot Spring to relax. Arrive at Chiang Rai. Visit Wat Rong Khun, a unique temple that stands out through its white color and the use of pieces of glass in plaster, sparkling in the sun. The white color signifies the purity of the Buddha, while the glass symbolizes the Buddha's wisdom and the Dhamma, the Buddhist teachings. Chalermchai Kositpipat, a famous Thai visual artist, designed Wat Rong Khun. Eventually, there will be nine buildings, including Ubosod, a hall to enshrine Buddhist relics, a meditation hall, the monks living quarters, and an art gallery. Continue to the Golden Triangle area on the bank of the Mekong River, where Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand borders meet. Visit the House of Opium Museum, which tells stories of opium in the Golden Triangle. Through beautiful antiques such as opium harvesting knives, scales, weights, pipes, mats, and pillows, these tools represent the beliefs, cultures, traditions, and magnificent imagination of their Burmese, Shan, Chinese, and tribal inventors in Thailand as well as the history of the region where the three countries meet. Then, enjoy an hour's ride on the boat along the Mekong River to visit the riverbank scenery. Check-in at a hotel in the city area.
