Thailand
Ancient Culture
12 days
Thailand from south to north, from the Bangkok that never sleeps to the mountains of Chiang Rai. Twelve days watching the country change every three hundred kilometres: the gold of the temples, the green of the rice fields, the calm of the people.
Day by day

Overnight flight.
Day 02 · Bangkok
Arrival and transfer. At dusk, dinner sailing the Chao Phraya with the temples lit up from the water.
Day 03 · Bangkok
The Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha in the morning, while it is still walkable. Free afternoon.

No schedule. The Pak Khlong flower market at dawn is worth the early start, as is crossing the river by boat to Wat Arun.

The ruins of Ayutthaya, a capital razed in 1767 and still imposing. In the afternoon, the Khmer sanctuary of Phimai.

A local market, the Nong Wang temple and a village that is still a village. On the way to Sukhothai, Wat Mahathat in Phitsanulok.

The archaeological park of Sukhothai by bicycle, which is how it should be seen. Stops in Lampang and at Lake Phayao.

Doi Mae Salong and the Akha tea plantations. A boat on the Mekong with Laos and Myanmar in view.
