Classic ETG Thailand

An idea for your holiday

Experience what makes Thailand so remarkable and take in some of the main-sights whilst going beyond the typical package holiday. This itinerary includes some of our favourite Thai hotel accommodations, one-off gems that offer a calming atmosphere in peaceful natural surroundings. 

You’ll gain an insider’s perspective on the must-see sights with privately guided tours in and around Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Of course, you’ll want to experience one of the extraordinary beaches, too. We’ve made a good suggestion here, but in reality, we’ll work out which Thai beach hideaway is right for you!

Highlights include:

  • Discover a side of Bangkok that most tourists miss. Unusual neighbourhoods, tasty snacks and diverse cultural sights followed by evening drinks overlooking the iconic Wat Arun temple. 
  • Discover delectable Thai street food cuisine on an evening guided food tour; your guide will introduce you to kanom jin (rice noodles with curry soup), kanom krok (Thai coconut pudding) and much more
  • Marvel at the picture-postcard views from your beachside hammock on Koh Yao Noi.


This is a sample itinerary which we will tailor to suit you. Prices are dependent on destination, flights & dates but ETG holidays always include the following:

  • International flights (if required)
  • Guides, drivers & their tips
  • Accommodation
  • Specified meals & snacks
  • Your immersive experiences
  • Internal & regional transfers

DAY 1 DEPART THE UK

Depart the UK on your overnight flight to Bangkok.

DAY 2-4 BANGKOK    BEYOND THE TOURIST TRAIL

On arrival in Bangkok, you’ll be met by your guide and driver for the transfer to your hotel. A quiet haven in the heart of the city, in a unique traditional setting.

Your time in the city will be tailored to your interests. Typically your guide will take you on an immersive and interactive journey loosely following the course of the Chao Phraya River, veering off to explore its famous canals and diverse communities. We’ll ensure you experience Bangkok’s unique architecture, delve into its delicious local food and feel that you’ve got under the surface of the city rather than just ticked off tourist sites.

DAYS 5 - 8 CHIANG MAI   Cultural, Countryside Adventure

It's a one-hour flight (or overnight train) to Chiang Mai. The northern capital is a labyrinth of glittering temples and bustling night markets surrounded by lush, tranquil countryside.  On arrival your local guide and driver will be waiting to transfer you to your hotel, a wonderful spot overlooking the river in a peaceful spot on the outskirts of town. 

During your stay, you’ll explore the city itself. By tasting the local street food and observing Buddhist monks collecting their alms at dawn, you’ll get a strong sense of Thai culture and tradition. During your stay, you’ll also visit a sanctuary for rescued elephants.  

DAYS 9-14 BEACH TIME   

Board a direct flight from Chiang Mai to Phuket (*or Koh Samui) where you’ll transfer by boat to the peaceful island of Koh Yao Noi. Koyao Island Resort is a beach retreat in beautiful surroundings. It is the perfect place to experience the famous beaches of Thailand and the picture postcard image of limestone cliffs rising out of the sea. Your time here is simply for relaxing and enjoying beach life; you can enjoy traditional Thai massage in the outdoor Sala, take a canoe to hidden coves or swim and snorkel in the Andaman Sea.

*if you’re travelling in the summer months, we might suggest staying at a beach on Thailand’s east coast (rather than Koh Yao Noi on the west coast). Call our travel team to discuss the options. 

DAY 15  FLY HOME

Depart Thailand on your flight back to the UK.
