Itinerary
- Day 1
Bangkok to Ayutthaya to Kamphaeng Phet
Early morning pickup from Bangkok takes you north to Ayutthaya, the former capital where you'll walk through temple ruins that tell centuries of history. Wat Yai Chaimongkhon, Wat Phanan Choeng, and Wat Mahathat are on the agenda, with Wat Mahathat being particularly striking because tree roots have wrapped around a Buddha head over the years. From there, you'll get out on a traditional longtail boat to see the ruins from the water, which gives you a completely different angle on everything. After lunch, the drive continues to Kamphaeng Phet where you'll check in and have the rest of the afternoon to yourself.

Lampang to Chiang Mai
Following breakfast, you'll head to Lampang to see Wat Phra That Lampang Luang, a large Lanna-style temple sitting on a hilltop with walls surrounding it. The naga staircase is steep but worth the effort, and inside you can walk through seven buildings, see the bronze Buddha statue, and check out the golden chedi that holds Buddha's relic. After a local lunch, the drive brings you to Chiang Mai, known as the Rose of the North. You'll have the evening free, so depending on what appeals to you, there's the night bazaar to browse through, a Thai massage to relax with, or an optional traditional khantoke dinner if you want something more structured.

You can climb the 309 naga steps if you're up for it, or take the included cable car to get there without the effort. Later, San Kamphaeng Road becomes your stop, a 10km shopping stretch where local artisans produce pottery, silverware, lacquerware, handmade paper, sculptures, jewelry, and silk right in front of you in many of the shops. By lunch time you'll head back to the hotel, leaving your afternoon open to rest or do whatever you like.

You'll visit Phra Prang Sam Yot, an ancient Khmer temple, and the adjacent San Phra Kan Brahman shrine, which people call the Monkey Temple because of all the primates hanging around.
