Deluxe Thailand with Cycle Adventure Bespoke Holiday Itinerary / Experience Tour

Day 1 Depart The UK

Depart the UK on an overnight flight to Bangkok

Days 2-4 Bangkok

During your stay in Bangkok you’ll experience what makes the city special from a slightly different angle to many other tourists. We’ll tailor your time here to your own personal tastes, incorporating long-tail boat journeys around bustling canals with culinary walking tours through lively districts and local neighbourhood cycle rides. You’ll see temples, markets and local life from a unique perspective and stay in a centrally located city oasis.

Days 5-7 Khao Yai & Ayutthaya Cycling followed by Mekhala Cruise

Your 3 day cycle experience covers roughly 20km per day and you’ll be supported by a driver and vehicle throughout so the pace at which you travel is entirely up to you. One thing that is certain is that you’ll experience some utterly breath-taking countryside and fascinating historic sites on your journey.  In Khao Yai National Park you’ll pass mango orchards and waterfalls before delving into the wineries where you can taste local Thai wine. Then you’ll transfer by road to the ancient capital Ayutthaya where you can explore the city walls and its relics on your bike.  At the end of your cycle adventure you’ll board an elegant rice barge for an overnight cruise along the Chao Phraya River back to Bangkok. You’re mooring at night near a stunning temple in the Thai countryside and you’ll enjoy a candle-lit dinner on deck.

Days 8-11 Chiang Mai

An early morning cruise into Bangkok will take you pass local markets, the famous Grand Palace and The Temple of Dawn. Next you’ll transfer to Bangkok Airport for the short flight north to Chiang Mai where you’ll stay in a beautiful hotel from which you’ll have the chance to explore the city and its surrounds. As in Bangkok, your experience here will be tailored to your tastes, and whilst a tour of the main highlights (such as glittering Doi Suthep temple) is a must, you’ll also be able to explore the surrounding rice terraced countryside and learn how to cook “northern style” with a local family.

Days 11- 16 Ko Phi Phi

It’s a direct flight from Chiang Mai to Phuket where you’ll board a private long-tail boat for the journey across the waters to the beautiful Phi Phi Islands. You’ll stay at a fantastic barefoot-luxury-style resort where you can while away your time snorkelling in the crystal clear waters, splashing around in the pool, getting pampered in the spa or dining on traditional Thai food.

Day 17 Home

Depart Phuket for your flight back to the UK.
