Why This Journey Works For Your Clients
Strong travel value with clear agency positioning.
10 days that cover the whole of classic Thailand without rushing: the palaces and markets of Bangkok, the quiet river town of Kanchanaburi, the ruined capital of Ayutthaya, and then north to Chiang Rai, the Golden Triangle and Chiang Mai, finishing with a day trekking among White Karen villages.
A complete first trip to Thailand, city to mountains, at a comfortable pace.
First-time visitors to Thailand, couples and small private groups who want culture and scenery rather than beaches.
Position as the flagship Thailand itinerary: one route, two regions, no internal flights beyond Bangkok to Chiang Rai.
Day 1 to 5 covers central Thailand: Bangkok's Grand Palace and Wat Pho, the Maeklong railway market and Damnoen Saduak floating market, the River Kwai bridge at Kanchanaburi, then the temple ruins of Ayutthaya and the Bang Pa-In Summer Palace.
Day 5 to 10 moves north by air: Chiang Rai and its famous temples, the Golden Triangle where Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet on the Mekong, then Chiang Mai's old town and Doi Suthep, ending with a full day of trekking near Mae Sapok.
