Two nights in Bangkok, three in Chiang Mai, and five on whichever coast is actually behaving in your month — chosen after you give us dates, not before.

Suits

  • Families
  • A long winter break
  • Travellers who want a beach they will not regret

Day by day

Day 01

Arrive Bangkok

Transfer in. Dinner in Thonglor, away from the tourist river.

Day 02

Bangkok

The Grand Palace at opening, Wat Pho after, and a Thonburi canal boat in the afternoon.

Day 03

Fly to Chiang Mai

Morning flight north. Old-city temples in the afternoon at your own pace.

Day 04

Chiang Mai

A cooking morning that starts at the market at seven, Doi Suthep late afternoon.

Day 05

The sanctuary

A full day at an observation-only elephant sanctuary. No riding, no bathing, no performances.

Day 06

To the coast

Fly south to the coast we picked for your dates. Nothing scheduled on arrival.

Day 07

Coast

Yours. A long-tail day to the outer islands is the only thing we will suggest.

Day 08

Coast

Nothing booked.

Day 09

Coast

Still nothing booked. That is the point of five nights.

Day 10

Coast

Last full day. A spa afternoon is the usual answer.

Day 11

Depart

Fly south–Bangkok and connect, with the transit timed to be comfortable.
