Overnight in Bangkok.

After breakfast at the hotel, you will embark on a sightseeing tour of Bangkok's most famous temples. Your first stop will be at Royal Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha, two of the most famous tourist attractions in Bangkok. The Grand Palace is adjacent to Wat Phra Kaew, and together they form a common compound. The Grand Palace features European-inspired designs, except for the roofs, which maintain a distinctly Thai style.

Next, you will visit Wat Po, which is the oldest and largest temple in Bangkok. This temple is famous for its Reclining Buddha (Phra Buddhasaiyas), the largest single Buddha image in Thailand, and is also the birthplace of traditional Thai massage. After this visit, you will have free time for lunch on your own.

You will then visit Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of the Dawn. This iconic landmark is one of the most well-known temples in Bangkok and offers a stunning view of the city.

Enjoy a walk through the flower market before the last visit at the Golden Mountain.

After this visit, you will return to your hotel for some free time to relax and explore the city at your leisure. Overnight in Bangkok.

After breakfast, at 08:00AM, Depart for Damnoen Saduak, situated 110km west of Bangkok. Your journey begins with a scenic drive through rice paddies and salt fields, providing a glimpse of the rural life in Thailand.

Visit Talad Rom Hoop or Maeklong Railway Market, a unique market that is held on the rail tracks. Experience the hustle and bustle of the market as vendors quickly pack up their goods and clear the tracks for the train’s arrival. Watch as the train passes by and the market swiftly returns to normal, showcasing the locals’ nonchalant attitude towards this daily occurrence. [Train arrival time: 08:30 / 11:00 / 14:30 / 17:30]

On the way, we visit a farmhouse to witness the production of sugar from coconut, giving you an insight into the local way of life. The tour continues with a 30-minute-long tail trip along fruit plantation to see Thai houses and the traditional way of life.

We arrive at Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Be amazed by the boats of various shapes and sizes used by merchants to ferry their goods. You can also hire a small boat to board along the market and shop for local products.

Afterwards, transfer back to your hotel for refreshing time.

Overnight in Bangkok.

Free until transfer to Bangkok airport for flight to Chiang Rai. Arrival at the airport in Chiang Rai, reception at the airport with a local guide and transfer to city.

Visit the famous Blue Temple, or Wat Rong Seua Ten located a few kilometers from Chiang Rai. It is a recent temple that is still under construction, although its main hall is now completed. It is above all its magnificent blue interior with a large white Buddha that marks the spirits. The Blue Temple of Chiang Rai is still little known among tourists for now, because it was completed very recently. Then we will begin the journey that takes us to Chiang Rai, during which we cannot miss a visit to the White Temple or Wat Rong Khun. One of the many religious places in Chiang Rai. With exceptional quality in art and extremely elaborate architecture, the consecrated assembly hall of Wat Rong Khun is unlike any other temple in terms of having both carved pediment peaks and tooth-shaped ridges. The hall itself is mostly constructed in pure white, illustrative of the purity of the Buddha. The clear mirrored sparkling glass serves as the wisdom of the Awakened One shining upon the earth and the universe.

Overnight in Chiang Rai.

After breakfast, we transfer directly to Chiang Mai. Arrived in Chiang Mai, transfer to the hotel.

Later in the day, you’ll be taken to visit one of Chiang Mai’s holiest sites: Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. Perched on a hillside and built in the traditional Northern Thai style, the temple is home to a sacred relic of the Lord Buddha and offers breath-taking panoramic views over the city.

Continue to Wat Phra Singh is a renowned 14th-century Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai's Old City, Thailand, celebrated for its classic Lanna-style architecture and the highly revered Phra Singh (Lion) Buddha image.

Following the visit, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel, where you’ll have free time to unwind and explore at your own pace.

Next Wat Chedi Luang a Buddhist temple in the historic centre of Chiang Mai, Thailand. The current temple grounds were originally made up of three temples.

Today we will enjoy an amazing trip to the Top-end Elephant Parks in the North of Thailand. This is the only elephant breeding farm in Thailand.

  • 08:00 – 08:30 | Pick-Up from Your Hotel We'll collect you from your accommodation in Chiang Mai.
  • 08:30 – 10:00 | Drive to the SanctuaryAbout 1.5 hours through the countryside—rice fields, forest, and small villages along the way.
  • 10:00 – 10:20 | Meet the Team & Get to Know the Elephants:Change into traditional Karen clothing and sit down with our team. Before you meet the elephants, you'll hear about who they are — their names, where they came from, and what makes each one different. By the time you walk out to meet them, they won't be strangers.
  • 10:20 – 10:40 | First Meeting — Feed the ElephantsYour first moment face to face. You'll prepare fruit and feed them by hand and start to see for yourself whether their personality matches what you heard about them.
  • 10:40 – 11:00 | Morning Health Check with the Vet Every morning our vet checks on the elephants you just met. You'll join in, help record observations, and ask questions directly. Short but one of the more eye-opening parts of the day.
  • 11:00 – 11:20 | Prepare Herbal Supplements Now that you know what each elephant needs, you'll help prepare the natural supplements our vet recommends and understand exactly how what you're making connects to their health.
  • 11:20 – 11:40  |  Make Khanom Krok Try making Thailand's traditional coconut pancakes with the team
  • 12:00 – 13:00 | Lunch: Sit down to a fresh Thai meal. A good moment to slow down and take in everything from the morning.
  • 13:00 – 13:20 | Mud Spa The most relaxed part of the morning. Mud protects elephant skin from sun and insects—and this is usually the part nobody wants to leave.
  • 13:20 – 13:40 | River Bathing Walk with the elephants down to the river and help with their afternoon bath. By now you know them well enough that this feels less like an activity and more like just spending time together.
  • 14:00 – 14:20 | Watch the Elephants Take a quiet moment to observe the herd from a distance — no feeding, no interaction, just elephants being themselves. Our team will help you read what you're seeing: how they move, how they communicate, and what their behavior tells you about how they're feeling. After a morning up close, this is a different kind of connection.
  • 14:20 – 15:00 | Make Their Farewell Treat — Elephant CakeUsing banana, pumpkin, rice, and seasonal fruit, you'll put together a handcrafted treat for the elephants you've spent the day with. Then hand it to them yourself.
  • 15:00 – 15:30 | Farewell A proper goodbye — to elephants you now know by name.
  • 15:45 – 17:15 | Drive Back to Chiang Mai
  • 17:15 – 17:30 | Drop-Off at Your Hotel

    ” Possiamo dire che è stata la luna di miele perfetta. Abbiamo avuto la possibilità di entrare a stretto contatto con la gente locale, di vivere diverse esperienze molto interessanti e di visitare dei posti fantastici. Tutto era organizzato in maniera perfetta grazie anche al validissimo supporto del nostro corrispondente Roberto, che non ci ha mai lasciati soli. Da dietro le quinte ci ha assistito per tutta la durata del nostro magnifico viaggio di nozze, dandoci un valido supporto per qualsiasi cosa. Le guide e i drivers erano sempre puntuali, cordiali, molto disponibili e molto preparati. Difficile dire in una sola frase cosa ci sia piaciuto. In una sola parola: TUTTO. L’organizzazione pre e durante il nostro viaggio è stata ineccepibile. Non possiamo che ringraziare Roberto ed Eurasie per questa meravigliosa esperienza.”
