A Thailand rail adventure

12 nights from R92,070 per person based on 2 sharing

This exciting itinerary takes you on a journey through the beautiful and diverse landscapes of Thailand from the bustling streets of Bangkok to the ancient ruins of Ayutthaya and Sukhothai and the picturesque mountains of Chiang Mai. This itinerary has been designed to maximise use of public transport to help reduce your environmental impact whilst in destination. We’ve partnered with the Travel Foundation who’ve supported us in developing this itinerary as a step towards ensuring that tourism has more of a positive impact on destinations.

• Sit back and relax as you glide down the Chao Phraya River on a solar-powered boat, taking in the sights of Bangkok, then explore the outskirts of the city before enjoying a local lunch at Joon’s Studio and Café.

• Stay at the award-winning Lisu Lodge where you’ll learn about the hilltribe culture that surrounds Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand and get the opportunity to visit the nearby Araksa Tea Garden where you can try your hand at tea-picking.

• In Chiang Mai, wander around historic sites and busy markets before setting off on a songtaew, a local pick-up truck taxi, and drive to Wat Gatekaram for a glimpse into a local neighbourhood.
