The very best of Thailand at an easy pace and in relative comfort
This leisurely journey gives us time to adjust to the gentler pace of life in Thailand. With plenty of time we can fully appreciate the grandeur of Bangkok's Royal Palace, the historic associations around the River Kwai, the unique hilltribe cultures of the north and the tropical serenity of the south. Depending on the season we will visit either Krabi or Koh Samui in order to enjoy the best weather conditions in the south. We also take time to enjoy Thailand's culinary delights, including a cooking course in Chiang Mai. Above all we will take away a feeling for the warmth from the Thai people, for whom a smile is never far away.
