Chiang Mai Temple Hopping

Spend your day soaking up the magic of Chiang Mai’s temples, where history, culture, and a little adventure come together! Start at the tranquil Wat Chet Lin, a serene spot with dreamy gardens and quiet vibes, perfect for setting the tone.

Next, dive into the grandeur of Wat Chedi Luang, a historic gem that’ll transport you straight into the heart of Lanna history. Feeling peckish? Pause for a quick tea break – a sip of local tea is just what you need to refuel. Then, head to the peaceful, forested grounds of Wat Umong, a hidden treasure with ancient tunnels and a meditative vibe.

Finally, as the sun dips low, make your way to the iconic Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. Perched high above the city, the panoramic views will take your breath away – and that golden-hour glow? Pure magic.

Upon landing in Thailand’s vibrant capital, you’ll hop on a smooth transfer to your hotel, where you can settle in and let the city’s electric energy greet you.

Take the rest of the day to unwind or explore at your own pace – whether it’s lounging at the hotel, diving into the city’s famous street food scene, or catching a glimpse of Bangkok’s iconic skyline. The adventure continues!

Bangkok Cultural Experience

Dive into Bangkok’s rich cultural tapestry with a day full of iconic experiences! Start with a visit to the breathtaking Wat Arun, where you can step back in time by dressing in a traditional Thai costume – perfect for a photo that’s as unforgettable as the temple itself.

After a morning of exploration, head back to your hotel for some well-deserved rest.

As evening approaches, make your way to ICONSIAM to check in for your enchanting dinner cruise along the Chao Phraya River. Set sail and experience Bangkok in all its glowing, riverside glory.

Enjoy a delicious dinner as you cruise past illuminated temples and cityscapes, offering a whole new perspective of the city. The dinner lasts around two hours, and once you return to the pier, the rest of the night is yours to enjoy – whether you explore the vibrant nightlife or simply unwind after a perfect day.
