Welcome to Bangkok! Enjoy a complimentary airport arrival transfer to your hotel. Afterwards you are free to explore until our welcome meeting at 6 pm. Check in to the hotel in the early afternoon and enjoy settling in to Bangkok.

After enjoying a Thai breakfast with the group, head out to explore this incredibly vibrant and action-packed city. The tour leader will take the group past the city's major sights to give the whole family a real insight into Bangkok and its people. Catch the overnight train this evening north to Chiang Mai.

In the morning alight from the train in Chiang Mai. After some time to freshen up, head out on an exploration of this charming and relaxed city (compared to Bangkok anyway) by foot. Visit the golden Doi Suthep Temple, one of Northern Thailand's most sacred temples, and learn why every child in the region is taught about the legends of this ancient site. In the evening, experience a traditional Khan Toke dinner, which involves delicious food, a relaxed environment and slow-tempo dance entertainment.

After last night's entertainment, today is a day of fresh mountain air and discovery by foot. Trek around Chiang Mai, visiting local markets and taking the time to enjoy a dip by a waterfall before heading to a Thai village for an overnight stay. Staying in the village is a great opportunity to interact with the locals and see how they live. 

Today is an action-packed day on the water. In the morning, glide down the Mae Teang River on an inflatable kayak, paddling through lush jungles, stopping to pick fruit and keeping eyes peeled for wildlife. Stop for a special lunch at a riverside camp. Afterwards head to the Lahu Hill tribe village to see how the rural communities live. Head back to Chiang Mai in the afternoon. 

Rise and shine! Get up early (about 6.30 am) and head to the Flight of the Gibbon conservation park for a day of ziplining and tree-top discovery. With over five kilometres of ziplines and 30 stations there is a ride for every member of the family. The park actively supports Gibbon conservation, using proceeds and donations from its tours. Return to the hotel in the afternoon to rest and relax before returning to Bangkok via overnight train. 

After arriving in Bangkok by train, head out to the village of Amphawa on a journey that will take just over an hour. The area is famous for its floating markets and the local Thais flock here on weekends to bargain and barter. Explore the small, riverside villages before taking to bikes once again and discovering further afield. Tonight enjoy some local hospitality with a homestay experience.

Visit the famous floating markets along with the many Thais who flock here. Having a leader at the markets is an invaluable part of the experience. They will explain and bring to life the market, its people and the myriad of weird and wonderful goods on sale. This is a great insight into real local life and a memorable activity before our farewell dinner back in Bangkok.

The trip finishes today after breakfast. There are still many fun and fascinating attractions to visit, perhaps ride the Skytrain or visit the huge shopping centres.
