Thailand & Laos - Ancient Cities to Island Shores
Move between Thailand and Laos on a 14 day journey that pairs historic cities and spiritual traditions with time beside the sea. In Bangkok, explore its floating and railway markets before stepping back in time at the ancient temples of Ayutthaya. Luang Prabang brings a different rhythm, from the early-morning Tak Bat ceremony and historic temples to Kuang Si Waterfalls and a sunset cruise along the Mekong. Back in Thailand, discover Chiang Mai and its countryside by e-bike, following the Ping River and visiting an elephant sanctuary along the way. Finish on Koh Samui with five nights to relax, island hop or explore the island’s temples at your own pace.
