Overview

Our answer to the question every first-timer asks: how do I see temples, mountains and islands in one trip? Three nights in Bangkok, three in the north and three by the sea, with every flight, transfer, hotel and guided day arranged.

Afternoons are deliberately left open. This is a holiday, not a march.
