Why This Journey Works For Your Clients

Strong travel value with clear agency positioning.

Five days that reach three directions out of Bangkok: the river, the war railway west, and the ruined capital north.

The widest Bangkok program that still needs only one hotel change. Covers what most clients came to Thailand to see, without a domestic flight.

First-time Thailand clients with five days, history-led travellers, couples and small groups.

Ready to quote at five days. Add the Erawan waterfalls for six, or a domestic flight to Chiang Mai for a full country route.

Day one starts on the water, with a longtail boat through the Thonburi canals and a stop at Wat Arun. Day two takes the old city: the Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha, the reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, then Jim Thompson House. Day three heads west to the Maeklong railway market and Damnoen Saduak, then on to Kanchanaburi for the Death Railway and the bridge over the River Kwai. Day four crosses north to Ayutthaya and its temple ruins. Day five closes with the summer palace at Bang Pa-In before the return to Bangkok.
