Bangkok to Chiang Mai

This is a great trip as an alternative to flying up to Chiang Mai (or indeed taking the train).

En-route from Bangkok to Chiang Mai are the two former Royal capitals of Thailand, Ayuthaya and Sukhothai.

Explore both of Thailand's ancient capitals, with an overnight stop in Phitsanulok.

Also visit two important Wats (Monasteries) in Central Thailand and enjoy a Khao Soy dinner in Chiang Mai.

As with all of our Thailand tours, this short tour from Bangkok to Chiang Mai can be combined with other arrangements to create your perfect Thailand holiday - just let us know your interests.

In the afternoon, drive further north to Phitsanulok, a major regional commercial centre, spread along the banks of the Nan River.

What are the departure dates?

Let us know your preferred dates of travel and we will find the best and most suitable flights to fit your itinerary.

As this is a private tour, there are no set departure dates.

Which Airlines do you use?

We work with all the major airlines flying to Thailand.

Which Hotels do you use?

We're careful with our choice of hotels, but we're guided by our customers also. If you have some preferred hotels, just let us know.

Our team has a wealth of combined experience in the industry and our Director has been involved in organising holidays to Thailand since the early 1990's.

Our partners on the ground in Thailand have over 30 years experience in operating there.

They understand the country inside out and have a strong infrastructure of staff, guides and vehicles.

We've had the same partnership in Thailand for over 10 years.

How does your office in Vietnam help?

We have our own staff in Saigon which helps in many ways with our customers in Thailand and South East Asia.

It helps us to keep on top of any new hotel and travel developments in the region and forge stronger relationships with hotels and other partners.

We regularly do our own inspections of hotels and destinations in the region.

Should our clients need any assistance during a trip, we always have at least one of our own staff on the same time zone, and we're open 7 days a week in Saigon.
