2008 Thailand Discovery:16 day Thailand Tour

Welcoming people and buzzing cities are just the beginning.

Our longest 'Thailand Discovery' journey is the ultimate way for you to get acquainted with the most of the 'Land of Smiles'. Commence your vacation in Thailand's capital city, Bangkok, one of the most exciting destinations in the world. Head to Kanchanaburi and the River Kwai area to get aquainted with Thailands wartime past and be fascinated by the floating markets. Spend some time in Ayuthaya, Thailand's ancient capital. The temple ruins in Sukhothai are testament to the artisans of the past, while the famed Golden Triangle is an exceptional trip from nearby Chang Rai.

A Thai hilltribe adventure awaits before you reach the culmination of your vacation in the northern city of Chiang Mai, in the heart of the Lanna Kingdom. The famous night bazaar in Chang Mai is an experience not to be missed.
