Start your adventure in Thailand by exploring the remarkable Grand Palace and the holiest temple of Wat Phra, considered as a national treasure that has been visited by millions of tourists around the world. The lavishly decorated Grand Palace was once a home to Kings of Siam and still serves as the site for official events. Wat Phra, also known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, boasts a 700-year-old sacred image of Buddha and is a must-see attraction while in Bangkok.
Visit the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Chiang Mai for a once-in-a-lifetime experience of interacting with elephants in their natural habitat. Spend your day bathing, feeding, and playing with gentle giants while their mahouts share their stories and knowledge about elephant conservation efforts in Thailand.
Explore the ancient city of Ayutthaya, a UNESCO World Heritage site that was once the capital of the Kingdom of Siam. The Ayutthaya Historical Park features ancient temples and palaces that showcase the city's rich cultural heritage. You can also take a relaxing boat ride along the Chao Phraya River to witness the stunning beauty of the ancient city from a different perspective.
Experience the gorgeous beaches and stunning scenery of Phuket by visiting the famous Patong Beach and then sailing through the iconic Phang Nga Bay. Patong Beach offers crystal-clear water and white sand, perfect for swimming and sunbathing. Take a short boat ride to the Phang Nga Bay, where you can witness the famous limestone cliffs and emerald-green waters, featured in the James Bond movie "The Man with the Golden Gun."
If you have more time, consider visiting the floating markets of Amphawa, indulging in Thai massage, or watching a Muay Thai fight in Bangkok. If you have less time, skip Ayutthaya Historical Park and Phang Nga Bay to spend more time exploring Bangkok. Remember to dress appropriately when visiting temples. They require covered shoulders and knees and wear comfortable walking shoes as Thailand involves a lot of walking and standing for long hours.
