Itinéraire du groupe
Welcome to Bangkok, where shopping malls sit next to street markets and gleaming towers overlook ancient temples.
This evening, step out of your hotel and onto a river taxi, then finish the night with a drink high above the city at one of its most striking sky bars.
Today's touring covers the big names: the Grand Palace complex and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Wat Pho with its giant reclining Buddha, and Wat Traimit, home of the Golden Buddha.
You're free in the afternoon to browse the markets or shop. At night, a boat ride along the Chao Phraya River leads to a traditional Thai dinner and cultural show.
Leave the city for a half-day trip to the Maeklong Railway Market, where traders fold away their awnings each time a train rolls through, and to the floating markets, where fruit, vegetables and local goods are sold straight from wooden boats.
Afterward you'll see more of Bangkok's temples, then the rest of the afternoon is yours.
A flight north brings you to Chiang Rai, where lunch is waiting when you arrive.
Check in and take the rest of the day slowly. The north runs at a gentler pace than the capital.
Today you explore the Golden Triangle, the region where Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet. You'll meet Akha and Yao hill-tribe communities, walk among the old ruins of Chiang Saen and browse the busy market at Mae Sai on the border.
A traditional lunch is included along the way.
Travel by road to Chiang Mai with some memorable stops. First is Wat Rong Khun, the all-white temple, then Wat Rong Suea Ten, glowing in deep blue.
Take a break at the Mae Kachan hot springs before carrying on to Chiang Mai. Lunch is included on the way.
You'll spend much of today at an elephant sanctuary and rescue center, then visit a farm full of orchids and butterflies.
In the evening, sit down cross-legged for a Khan Toke dinner. It's a northern tradition: dishes are shared family-style on low tables in a Lanna-style teak house.
Head up the mountain to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai's hilltop temple, and visit a Hmong hill-tribe village.
On the way back you stop in Sankampaeng, known for its handicrafts. The evening is free.
Enjoy an unhurried morning, then fly to Phuket and transfer to your hotel. Rest up, because the island days start tomorrow.
A full day of touring shows you the island from end to end. You'll visit Wat Chalong (Wat Chaithararam), look out from Promthep Cape, stand beneath the Big Buddha and walk the old streets of Phuket Town.
Stops also include Freedom Beach, Karon Beach, the Central Phuket Floresta shopping center and Wat Ko Sire.
An early start gets you to James Bond Island (Koh Tapu) before the day-trippers. From there, you'll canoe into the mangroves and through Lod Nai Cave, surrounded by limestone towers and clear green water all day.
Squeeze in one more half-day tour, with stops at the Phuket Aquarium and Wat Charoen Samanakij temple, then get ready for your journey home.

FAQ du voyage
Fly into Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and fly out of Phuket International Airport (HKT).
Yes. If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure or book pre-tour accommodation with us, your airport arrival transfer is included. If you choose alternative pre-tour accommodation or arrive by another mode of transport, you’ll need to arrange your own arrival transfer.
Our arrival transfers are private to Soca Islands and are organised in groups based on flight times. Sometimes this means a short wait at the airport until other flights arrive.
There are no scheduled activities on the final day, so feel free to book your departure at your own convenience.
We recommend arriving before 3 pm on Day 1 to make it in time for the welcome event. But don’t worry no matter when you land, we’ll have an airport transfer ready for you.
Please Refer to your government’s travel advice or consult your local consulate. Remember, passport and visa requirements can change, so make sure to stay updated.
Excluding alcohol, we suggest budgeting around USD $40.00 per day for extras.

- Consult with a healthcare professional: Schedule an appointment with your travel nurse or doctor at least eight weeks before your adventure to get any necessary vaccines or medications.
- Up-to-date medical advice:
- US residents: Check the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

We hope this helps you prepare for a safe and enjoyable adventure.
Please keep in mind that our itinerary, activities, and hotels might change. These adjustments could happen with little notice due to factors like availability, weather conditions, seasonal shifts, or other circumstances beyond our control. Rest assured, we always aim to minimise any impact on your experience. Occasionally, we may tweak the itinerary to try out fresh ideas and keep the adventure exciting.
We believe solo travelers shouldn’t have to pay extra to explore the world. That’s why our group trips are designed around shared accommodation and do not include a single supplement. Solo travelers joining our group trips are paired in twin or multi-share rooms with another traveler of the same sex for the duration of the trip.
Some of our Independent trips are structured differently. For these itineraries, solo travelers will need to book at the single occupancy rate.
Tips are not included in the cost of this tour. Remember, tipping is entirely at your discretion and based on what you feel comfortable with.
