Goway Travel

Undertake a 13-day odyssey across northern Thailand, from the enchanting Chiang Mai to the captivating Bangkok and Hua Hin. Begin with a hands-on Chiang Mai cooking class, preparing an authentic Thai feast with fresh market finds. Absorb the serene ambiance of a local temple's evening prayers and explore the vibrant Warorot Market. Head north to Lampang, a realm of teak mansions, Burmese-style temples, and charming cafes. Hike to the golden pagoda atop Doi Pu Yak, appreciating northern Thailand's lush mountains while residing in luxurious tents along the Ping River for incredible chain-free, hands-off elephant encounters.

Venture south to Bangkok, discovering the splendours of Wat Pho Temple and the iconic Emerald Buddha at the Grand Palace. Marvel at the world's largest solid gold Buddha, cruise the city's tranquil canals by long-tail boat and savour diverse culinary delights in Chinatown. Traverse the historic Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, a 400-year-old banyan tree, and the famous Bridge on the River Kwai in Samut Songkhram. Unearth the poignant history of WWII prisoners at the Hellfire Pass Museum and Memorial Walking Trail, culminating in a train journey along the infamous Death Railway.

Embark on a scenic route from Hua Hin to Sam Roi Yot National Park, Thailand's inaugural coastal national park. Explore a pineapple plantation and a bustling fishing village, and cruise along the coast for breathtaking ocean vistas. Revel in a pristine beach, followed by a stroll to Phraya Nakhon Cave's sunlit pavilion. Conclude the day with a beachfront feast and leisure time before returning to Hua Hin at dusk.

Bangkok

Bangkok is chief port capital of Thailand and one of the most important cities in Southeast Asia. It is the epitome of the country's kaleidoscopic blend of old and new. It is an expression of Thai respect for tradition coupled with their vibrant involvement with modern progress. Rama I built the walled Grand Palace, which contains Temple of the Emerald Buddha. During the 19th century, Bangkok was known as the Venice of the East because of its many canals, which served as streets and commercial thoroughfares. Houses perched along the banks of the remaining canals are still common sight. Some of Bangkok’s most distinctive features are the approximately 400 Buddhist temples, known as wats. Bangkok is Thailand's economic center. Other sights to see include Temples, monuments, museums, Vimarnmekh Mansion, and Jim Thompson’s House.
