This Buddhist nation holds their celestial world close, and religious dedication is colourful and omnipresent. Guilded temples and golden Buddhas frame this incredible landscape – this is a place where ancient banyan trees are wrapped in sacred cloth and mysticism is intertwined with superstition and intricate spirit houses are found every- where from the humblest of homes, offices and malls to the stretches of winding roads. Starting in in the city of angels, or Krung Thep as Bangkok is known to its inhabitants, we discover a city where the exotic and familiar collide. We get lost in the tiny lanes of Chinatown, dine after dark on the Chao Phraya and explore a nightlife scene that reveals a cosmopolitan and vibrant city. Gliding along the Chao Phraya we will discover picturesque scenes of Thai river life, the uninterrupted lines of buildings, markets, warehouses, shops and magnificent temples The journey: Bangkok, Ayutthaya, Mae Wang, Samoeng, Pai and Chiang Mai Karen hill tribe member smoking a traditional tobacco pipe as well as the continuous flow of boats going about their daily routines as we head to a place once replete with gilded temples and treasure-laden palaces. Here we discover the enigmatic temple ruins that are strewn across the city of Ayutthaya. Dozens of ruins remain from this period of thriving trade and art and offer a tantalising glimpse into its glorious past. Continuing north we head to a sprawling modern city that has grown up around its an- cient town. This dichotomy is best appreciated within the moat-encircled old city, which retains much of the fortified wall that once protected the city centre as well as the four main gates that provided access to the former Lanna capital city. It is from the ‘Rose of the North’ that we venture far off the hard beaten tourist trail and where our real adventure begins. Rice paddies, forests and villages and in the north, fields set against the mountains, Thailand’s rural heartland is a place where life is domi- nated by the rhythms of the seasons. Using our trusty tuk tuk’s we explore this incredible landscape - pristine forests dotted with churning waterfalls, serene wáts and peaceful country villages and discover an innate pleasure from disconnecting from the outside world and taking a moment to slow down and reconnect with ourselves and the world the around us. 4 5 ARRIVAL SATURDAY 3 OCTOBER - BANGKOK Welcome to Thailand, the land of smiles, and to Bangkok where anything worth doing should have an element of sànùk. Ordering food, changing money and haggling at markets will usually involve a sense of playfulness – a dash of flirtation, perhaps – and a smile. You will be met at skybridge of the aircraft by our local team and escorted through immi- gration and customs before being transferred to our hotel where we will be eagerly wait- ing for you. After we complete check-in procedures you can take some time to freshen up, relax and enjoy lunch or an ice cold drink with us and your fellow adventurers. This evening we’ll find ourselves dining in luxury on the Chao Phraya River. Witness the sights and lights of Bangkok at night as we travel along The “River of Kings”, lined with an array of shimmering temples and unique Bangkok sights that provide a stunning backdrop to our dinner cruise. Both sides of the river offer incredible glimpses of fascinating archi- tecture, both ancient and modern, and we will witness famous historic landmarks as you pass by, including Wat Arun, or the Temple of Dawn, The Grand Palace and Wat Pho. You’ll also be able to see the glow of modern Bangkok and the string of prestigious waterfront hotels. While on board we will enjoy a 6-course traditional Thai menu with the riverside views making this a magical dining experience. After dinner we transfer back to our hotel where we can enjoy a nightcap before we head to bed for sweet dreams of what lies ahead as we start to explore more of this incredible country. Overnight: Hotel Muse (Jatu Deluxe) Meals included: Dinner Silom is undoubtedly one of Bangkok’s most important financial districts, being home to many financial institutions and office buildings. Fine hotels and great restaurants abound in the area, too. (And then, of course, there’s the famous nightlife scene of Soi 4) Pictured: Views over Silom to King Power MahaNakhon 6 7 SUNDAY 4 OCTOBER - BANGKOK This morning is an easy one. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast and take some time for yourself. For those feeling up to a little cultural exploration, join us on a little unscheduled excursion to see our two favourite temples in the city. Wat Pho (the Temple of the Reclining Buddha) is a must-see for any first-time visitor to Bangkok is famed for its giant reclining Buddha that is 46 metres long, covered in gold leaf. From here we cross the river to Wat Arun. Locally known as Wat Chaeng, this landmark temple on the west (Thonburi) bank of the Chao Phraya river is easily one of the most stunning temples in Bangkok. Wat Arun (nicknamed the ‘Temple of Dawn’) is partly made up of colourfully decorated spires and stands majestically over the water. From Wat Arun it’s an easy river taxi to Icon Siam if you want to get in a spot of luxury shopping, or you can head back to the hotel with us for a little free time and a cocktail pool side. Sitting casually in Silom Soi 7, surrounded by glass and steel high-rises you could be forgiven for missing the Namsaah Bottling Trust - a fuchsia pink century-old house. The name of the venue pays homage to its colourful history – a residence of a royal aide-de-camp, a soda company’s bottling of- fice, and the headquarters of a bank, but now it is home to Chef Ian Kittichai’s whimsical bespoke bar and Michelin plated restaurant and the venue for tonight’s dinner – a gastronomic experience! From his humble beginnings in Bangkok where as a child he pushed a cart through the neighbour- hood to sell food his mother made, Chef Ian Kittichai has become an award-winning chef, restaurateur, cookbook author and television personality. From Wagyu dumplings and popcorn shrimp (in a Sriracha aioli) to crispy tangerine chicken (in a tamarind, palm sugar and chilli sauce), slow-cooked beef red curry and a Thai coffee and chocolate creme brûlée with churros and chocolate sauce, tonight’s dinner at Namsaah will be an absolute feast for the senses. From here, for those in the mood for something different, it is a short walk to our favourite camp drink- ing spot on Soi 4, where you are invited to join us for a casual drink and the chance to catch one of our favourite drag shows in the city! Overnight: Hotel Muse (Jatu Deluxe) Meals included: Breakfast | Dinner! Bangkok’s full name: Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit BANGKOK 8 9 MONDAY 5 OCTOBER - BANGKOK & AYUTTHAYA It’s a very early start this morning with breakfast on the go and a transfer to Si Praya pier to board the White Orchid River Cruise. Relax and take in the picturesque scenes of Thai river life, the uninterrupted Ancient history lines of buildings, markets, warehouses, shops and magnificent temples as well as the continuous flow of boats going about their daily routines. A buffet lunch will be presented with a variety of Thai delights and Western cuisines. In Nonthaburi, we disembark and continue overland to Bang Pa Inn summer palace, before making our way to the Ayutthaya Historical Park. Ayutthaya once was the capital of the Siamese kingdom, until it was occupied by the Burmese army in 1767 and almost levelled to the ground. Located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, the restored ruins of the Wat Chai Wattanaram is one of Ayutthaya’s most photographed sites. Our journey in Ayutthaya includes Wat Phra Sri Sanphet - the prototypes of the famous Grand Palace in Bangkok, and Wat Mahathat where we will have a chance to see the famous Buddha Head in the banyan tree. After exploring the ancient ruins of Ayutthaya we will make our way back to Bangkok by air-conditioned vehicle where you will have some time to yourself to rest your feet and cool down before dinner. Bangkok is famous for its incredible street food, buzzing nightlife and it’s iconic three-wheeled tuk tuk.
