A classic route through Thailand starting in Bangkok with a gentle ride down the River of Kings admiring the city’s waterways and riverside hustle, a step back in time at the storied Grand Palace, and an optional day trip to the ancient capital, Ayutthaya, to see the impressive ruins of early splendour. Travel north to Chiang Mai, climb up to the sacred mountaintop temple Doi Suthep, explore the old city and her temples, and then head to the south for some time on the tranquil beaches of Phuket admiring the craggy limestone cliffs, hidden caves, and brilliant sunsets.
