ThailandFrom the Golden Triangle to white beaches

Travel through lush green landscapes to a tributary of the Mekong River, where the comfortable small boat of your exclusive jungle camp awaits. You are in the middle of a peaceful reserve for wild elephants. Look forward to dinner in the restaurant, where you can sample all kinds of delicacies from Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar. A half-day excursion takes you to the elephant training camp, where a professional mahout shows you how to handle these gentle pachyderms.

Afterwards, you can take a cruise on the Mekong River if you wish. Board a traditional longtail boat and visit the famous Golden Triangle, where Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos meet. Then, take a traditional songthaew and/or tuk-tuk to the local market and Chedi Luang temple. Enjoy wonderful spa treatments in the open-air sala and perhaps a wine and cheese tasting in the cozy wine cellar.

On the way to Chiang Mai, visit Wat Rong Khun, the impressive white temple. Stop for a coffee break at Jarin Garden Resort, famous for its homemade cakes. Then visit Mae Krachan Hot Springs before reaching your final destination for the day. At the foot of Doi Suthep Mountain, take part in a ceremony that only a few travelers get to experience! Every day, thousands of monks walk through the streets in wondrous tranquility to collect food and everyday items.

Climb the 309 steps of the golden Naga staircase to reach the golden pagoda of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. Continue on to Wat Umong, a heavenly 14th-century forest temple covered in moss and small plants. After walking through its mystical tunnels, you will reach the temple's viharn, where you can experience a private blessing ceremony. Afterwards, enjoy a delicious bowl of khao soy.

In the evening, you can set off with your tour guide on a special tour to explore local night markets. The next day, shop for groceries at a market in Mae Kampong with a local villager and then prepare an authentic Thai meal.

Take a speedboat to the picturesque island of Yao Noi, where you can explore the beautiful natural surroundings in the middle of the Andaman Sea at your leisure. Treat yourself to a few days of rest and relaxation after your exciting tour. Whether you want to relax on a dream beach or by the pool, enjoy exotic cocktails or a traditional Thai massage—this precious time is yours to spend as you wish.

The beach extension on Yao Noi is only available in winter. In summer, head to Koh Samui and settle in at the equally wonderful Four Seasons there.
