Why This Journey Works For Your Clients

Strong travel value with clear agency positioning.

Bangkok plus one real excursion. The shortest program that gives a client both the living city and the ruined capital.

The upgrade from a three-night Bangkok stay. One extra night buys a full day in Ayutthaya, which is what clients remember.

First-time Thailand clients with four days, couples and small groups who want history rather than shopping.

Ready to quote at four days. Add Kanchanaburi and the River Kwai for six, or a domestic flight north for a full Thailand route.

Arrival day starts on the water: a longtail boat through the Thonburi canals and a stop at Wat Arun. Day two covers the old city on foot, the Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha at opening hour, the reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, then the teak rooms of Jim Thompson House. Day three leaves the city for Ayutthaya, an hour north, where five temple sites and the summer palace at Bang Pa-In fill the day. Day four is free until the transfer.
