Highlights of Thailand | 3* - 5* | 11 nights

Small but perfectly formed, this pocket-sized trip to Thailand packs scenic and cultural highlights into a short space: perfect for those with limited time.

Encompassing big, buzzing cities and peaceful villages, lush mountains and sandy beaches, think of this itinerary as a tasting menu of what makes Thailand so enduringly popular. Don’t expect to stray far from the beaten track, but do expect to see classic destinations from a different angle: on a canal-boat tour of Bangkok’s khlongs, for instance, or on a day trip into the hilly outskirts of Chiang Mai.

Trip Highlights

• Get beneath the surface of Thai culture as you tour illuminated temples and hidden waterways in Bangkok, and explore Chiang Mai at sunset with a local guide
• Contrast city life with beautiful countryside on a day trip into the mountains around Chiang Mai
• Complement beach relaxation with an exciting snorkelling tour in the Phi-Phi Islands
