  • Days 1-2

    Bangkok & Kanchanaburi

    Your trip starts with a welcome dinner on vibrant Khao San Road in Bangkok. Get up early the next day for the floating markets. One traveler shares: "The morning market experience was incredible, but you'll want to arrive before 8 AM when tour buses start showing up." After the markets take a 3-hour drive west to Kanchanaburi for a River Kwai cruise.

    
  • Days 3-4

    Erawan Falls & Ayutthaya

    Day 3 takes you to the stunning seven-tiered Erawan Falls. A helpful visitor tip: "Bring water shoes with grip - the rocks get really slippery. The best swimming pools are at levels 2 and 4." On day 4 you'll bike through Ayutthaya's ancient ruins before catching the overnight train to Chiang Mai. Book a lower berth if you're sensitive to train movement.

    
  • Days 5-8

    Chiang Mai

    Start at Wat Phra That Doi Suthep temple early in the morning to avoid crowds and heat. The next two days include a village homestay trek that many travelers consider unforgettable. One visitor notes: "The hill tribe trek was challenging but incredibly rewarding. Pack light, bring good hiking shoes, and don't forget a headlamp for the evening." Round out your time with an exciting day of jungle ziplining.

    
  • Days 9-11

    Pai

    The mountain town of Pai is a 3-hour drive away. A recent visitor advises: "Take motion sickness pills if you're prone to car sickness - the road has 762 curves." Fill your days exploring caves, hot springs and waterfalls. The night market and live music spots showcase Pai's unique laid-back atmosphere.

    
  • Days 12-14

    Return to Chiang Mai

    Back in Chiang Mai you'll learn local cooking skills. One participant shares: "Learning to make curry paste from scratch was a highlight." Spend time at the Grand Canyon Water Park for swimming and cliff jumping. Use your final day to pick up souvenirs at the markets before heading home.

  • Days 1-3

    Bangkok & Overnight Train

    Begin in Bangkok exploring temples and taking river cruises. "The river cruise and temple explorations gave us a perfect cultural introduction before heading south," according to one traveler. Book your Thai massage early on Day 3, as spots fill up fast between 2-4 PM. The overnight train heads south in the evening. The AC runs cold, so pack light sleepwear.

    
  • Days 4-5

    Khao Sok National Park

    You'll wake up to stunning limestone cliffs and jungle scenery. The floating bungalows are incredible. One traveler notes: "Watching wild elephants from our floating bungalow in Khao Sok was absolutely surreal. Pack waterproof bags for your electronics." You can kayak and swim in clear emerald waters. It gets very humid, so plan your activities for early morning or late afternoon.

    
  • Days 5-7

    Koh Phangan

    Visit beautiful Bottle Beach, go snorkeling, and try Muay Thai boxing classes open to all skill levels. "The snorkeling spots around Koh Phangan were incredible—we saw so many tropical fish. Get to Bottle Beach viewpoint before sunset for the best photos," says a recent visitor. Book your beachfront rooms well ahead since they sell out quickly.

    
  • Days 8-10

    Koh Tao

    Take a short ferry to Koh Tao, a perfect spot for diving. Make time to visit Koh Nang Yuan's lookout points. One traveler suggests: "The famous Koh Tao pub crawl is fun but pace yourself—the next day's boat trip starts early at 8 AM!" Watch the sunset from the beach bars on Sairee Beach.

    
  • Days 11-12

    Phi Phi Islands

    Explore Maya Bay and Monkey Beach. Remember Maya Bay closes for conservation August-September 2025. A guest recommends: "The water at Bamboo Beach was even clearer than Maya Bay—bring an underwater camera." Take morning tours to avoid crowds and peak heat.

    
  • Days 13-14

    Phuket

    Finish your trip in Phuket. "Ask your guide about local night markets—the food is incredible and half the price of tourist spots," a recent traveler shares. Your trip typically ends with a group dinner before departures the next day.

  • Days 1-2

    Bangkok & Kanchanaburi

    Get to the Royal Palace by 8 AM to beat the crowds. "The Royal Palace's 61 acres are overwhelming, but our local guide made the history come alive," shared a recent visitor. Take an afternoon train to Kanchanaburi and stay at the Jungle Raft Hotel. Remember to pack light since you'll carry bags onto the river boat.

    
  • Days 3-4

    Ayutthaya & Northern Transit

    Explore Ayutthaya by bicycle in the cooler morning hours. The flat terrain makes for easy riding but bring water and sunscreen. Take the overnight train to Chiang Mai and try to book lower berths for a smoother ride. The minivan trip to Pai takes about 3 hours on winding roads so consider motion sickness pills if needed.

    
  • Days 5-7

    Pai & Chiang Mai

    Take in Pai's relaxed atmosphere and natural hot springs for two days. "Pai's night market has the best street food—try the khao soi from the stall with the red lanterns," one traveler suggests. Head back to Chiang Mai to visit the Elephant Nature Park sanctuary. After 5 PM check out the South Gate area in the old city for authentic street food.

    
  • Days 8-9

    Bangkok & Southern Transit

    Book morning flights to Bangkok to avoid traffic delays. Visit the local Nang Loeng Market around 11 AM for lunch. For the overnight train to Surat Thani bring your own snacks and entertainment since dining car options are basic.

    
  • Days 10-11

    Khao Sok National Park

    Explore Thailand's biggest rainforest reserve. Take an early long-tail boat tour on Cheow Larn Lake for wildlife spotting. "The bamboo rafts can get slippery—wear water shoes and keep cameras in waterproof bags," advised a recent visitor. The jungle lodges offer basic facilities and occasional power cuts.

    
  • Days 12-14

    Krabi Finale

    Book morning island-hopping tours to Railay Beach when the water is calmer. "Skip the crowded Ao Nang beach and head to Tubkaak Beach for clearer waters and fewer tourists," suggests a traveler. Pick up final souvenirs at the local night market near Maharaj Market.
