Holiday Overview

From the tropical forests and expansive rice paddies that stretch as far as the eye can see, through the hustle and bustle of its always-awake cities, to the crystal clear waters of the coast, Thailand never fails to impress and amaze.

With our Bangkok & Beaches Tour, you'll have the opportunity to explore every aspect of the country's fascinating history and culture, while also enjoying plenty of time to relax and unwind. You'll sample fresh and aromatic Thai cuisine - then learn to cook it yourself - visit Damnoen Saduak's remarkable floating markets, explore the elegant grandeur of the Thai Royal Family's Grand Palace, and get up close with one of the largest creatures on the planet at an elephant sanctuary.

Landing in Bangkok, we'll spend the first five days of your holiday discovering the Thai capital and the surrounding area. An intense and exhilarating city in which glass-faced skyscrapers tower over traditional shrines lined with golden buddhas, Bangkok boasts some of the finest food in Southeast Asia, as well as a host of world-class museums and more than a few shopping opportunities.

For the second half of the holiday, we'll transfer to the beautiful beach resort of Khao Lak. After the sizzling energy of Bangkok, now's the time to take it easy, make the most of the spectacular beaches and enjoy a little slice of tropical paradise.

The first full day of your holiday is all about discovering the beautiful, bustling Thai capital. Renowned for its non-stop city streets, unique culture and fantastic street food, Bangkok is one of the most intriguing and exciting cities on the planet and the perfect place to begin your holiday. Today, we’ll take a fully-accessible tour around the city, visiting some of its most famous landmarks, including the official residence of the Thai Royal Family - the opulent Grand Palace. In the evening, we’ll board an accessible boat to cruise the Chao Phraya River, see the city skyline from the water, dine on delicious local cuisine and enjoy authentic Thai entertainment.
Day 3 Discover the Ayutthaya Temples

Having visited the Royal Family’s residence on Day Two, today includes a trip to their luxurious summer retreat, Bang Pa-in Palace. We’ll tour the complex, working our way around the golden spires, placid waters and elegant architecture of one of Thailand’s most popular attractions. In the afternoon, we’ll travel to Ayutthaya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that contains the ruins of one of Thailand’s most important historical cities. A precursor to modern Thailand, the Ayutthaya Kingdom represents a ‘Golden Age’ in Thai history. Though the kingdom collapsed in the 18th Century, it left behind the temple and palace ruins as a reminder of its remarkable influence. A must-see for anyone interested in Thai history and culture!
Day 4 Tour the Floating Markets

Afterwards, we’ll browse the stores at Sook Siam, an expansive market that showcases the cultural and artistic heritage of each of Thailand’s 77 provinces. A great opportunity to grab some souvenirs, Sook Siam is also well-known for its excellent street food - so make sure you’re ready to tuck into some mouth-watering Thai treats.
