Your Itinerary Days 1-3: International Flights-Bangkok The morning after arrival in Bangkok begins with an exploration of the city's major sights and temples--the Grand Palace, Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Vimanmek Teak Mansion and silk magnate Jim Thompson's historic house. (B/L/D). Days 4-6: Bangkok-Floating Market-River Kwai-Erawan Waterfall We switch to pedal power for a cycling tour of the city's narrow lanes and back alleys, passing flower farms and fruit orchards. This magical day concludes with a Thai dance performance during dinner at the fabulous Oriental Hotel. The following day we take a long-tail boat through the famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market followed by a visit to the Bridge on the River Kwai, built by Allied POWs during World War II. After a restful night at our floating raft hotel, we hike to the beautiful seven-tiered Erawan Waterfall for a refreshing swim before returning to Bangkok. (B/L/D). Days 7-9: Chiang Mai-Chiang Dao-Hill Tribe Villages Following our flight to Chiang Mai we visit Doi Suthep, a peak with one of the north's most sacred temples and conclude the day with a stroll through the Night Bazaar. Then it's off to Chiang Dao for an elephant show, a stream-crossing elphant ride through the jungle and a hike to a hill tribe village. We top off our tour of Chiang Mai with a bicycle ride through the countryside and visits to several craft centers. (B/L/D). Days 10-11: Khao Sok National Park A flight south leads us to Khao Sok and it's limestone mountains, rainforest, deep valleys and island-studded lake.
