Today you begin your journey by boarding your international outbound flight to Bangkok.
Upon arrival in Bangkok you will be met for a private transfer to your hotel.
Try not to go overboard on breakfast!This morning you will take a private walking tour of lesser known parts of the city centre which have a fascinating history, despite being largely forgotten now in the shadows of modern sky-scrapers. The focus is firmly on food and...
After breakfast you have a private transfer to the airport for your flight to Chiang Rai.On arrival you will be met for a private transfer to your riverside accommodation to relax for the remainder of the day.
Today you venture out in to the wild scenery around Chiang Rai in a 4x4. Your guide will teach you about how the Royal Projects have developed the area from opium farming to modern and sustainable options, in this case delicious coffee. Learn the process, taste the produce and wander through the local tribal villages.
Hit the quiet roads to explore local villages on two wheels today. Your cycling tour will include one of the most visually impressive and unique temples in Thailand; The White Temple. This afternoon you have the chance to meet elephants in their natural habitat. We have gone to great lengths to source the most ethical ways to meet elephants and this is one we are proud to support.
The journey to Chiang Mai could be done quicker but that would just be an uninspiring road journey. We suggest doing part of it by boat for spectacular scenery and the chance to visit remote villages.Reach Chiang Mai for dinner and you may like to try the local delicacy of Khao Soi.
Your guide will confirm the meeting time this morning, ready for your Segway tour of the old town of Chiang Mai. Enjoy learning to balance on these unique vehicles and visit some of the most famous temples including Wat Phra Singh and the Thapai Gate. The afternoons t...

After breakfast, you will start your journey in to the relatively unknown northwest of Thailand. The roads wind through incredible scenery over the next few days so be sure to have your camera ready. Stops along the way today include a hot spring and the option to swim. The journey to Pai take 3-5 hours.
Enjoy one of the most scenic drives in Thailand with some fascinating stops en route. Perhaps the most interesting is a vast, remote and picturesque cave system where you can discover coffins and learn about the local beliefs.This afternoon you may like to explore the walking trails around Mae Hong Son.
Today you will embark on a full day trek with your guide, through the rolling jungle-clad hills of Mae Hong Son.
