Thailand Adventure - LATITUDE

Thailand Adventure – 12 Days

Thailand Adventure:
A 12 – Days. Mountains, City, Nature and Coast

Temples, mountain air, a rainforest lake, and Andaman bays: this route gives you Thailand’s contrasts without the rush. Start in Bangkok for river temples, the Grand Palace, and Wat Pho, plus a quiet khlong (canal) ride that slips past stilt houses and pocket shrines. Fly north to Chiang Mai for Lanna heritage, artisan lanes, and hill country days: choose Doi Inthanon’s waterfalls and forest trails, or a city loop of temples with a guided food crawl. Down south, Khao Sok’s Cheow Lan Lake is the reset with long-tail rides between limestone cliffs, short jungle walks, and a simple overnight in raft-style huts for sunset, stars, and dawn wildlife. Finish on the Andaman coast with island-hopping to lagoons and coves, a day for Thai flavors or a cooking class, and the option of a private early-start run to Phi Phi for quiet water before the crowds.

The pace is moderate and tuned to timing: temple etiquette made easy, midday breaks when the heat peaks, and guides who know when to pivot. Add a Muay Thai evening, a second night on the lake, or trade boats for paddleboards. If seas or seasons shift, we’ll adapt, swapping island clusters or even coasts to match conditions.

ITINERARY DETAILS

Day 1: Arrive Bangkok
Meet & greet and a smooth hotel transfer. Stretch out with a riverfront stroll: long-tails, ferries, and sunset glow on the Chao Phraya. Optional dinner cruise or rooftop to set the scene.

Day 2: Grand Palace, Wat Pho & Canals
Temple morning (covered shoulders/knees). Take in the Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha, then wander Wat Pho’s courtyards and massage school. Midday break. Later, ride a long-tail through quieter Thonburi khlongs—stilted houses, pocket temples, spirit houses, and everyday river life. Evening street-food walk in Chinatown or Talat Phlu.

Day 3: Fly to Chiang Mai
Settle into the Old City. Easy orientation along the moat and artisan lanes: ceramics, textiles, woodcarving. Night market time; optional Lanna cooking class.

Day 4: Hill Country & Local Life
Light walks between villages, a valley-view coffee stop, and local crafts. Optional ethical elephant sanctuary (no riding): help prepare feed, observe, and learn the backstory, handled with care and space.

Day 5: Doi Inthanon or Temples & Tastes
Choose your day:

Doi Inthanon: waterfalls, short forest trails, and the twin chedis near Thailand’s highest peak.
City day: gilded temples, café stops, a market run, and a guided food crawl of Lanna classics.

Day 6: South to Khao Sok
Fly south and drive into the rainforest. Your jungle lodge sits amid limestone towers and giant leaves: gibbons at dusk, cicadas after dark, morning mist over the canopy.

Day 7: Cheow Lan Lake Overnight
Long-tail across emerald water between limestone cliffs. Short jungle walk; cave visit if conditions allow; time to swim by the raft houses. Overnight on the lake in simple raft-style lodging: quiet sunsets and starry skies.

Day 8: Morning on the Lake → Andaman Coast
Dawn wildlife boat ride and easy breakfast on the water. Cruise back to the pier, then continue to the Andaman (Krabi or Koh Lanta) for a sunset check-in and sea air.

Day 9: Andaman Islands
Island-hopping to lagoons and white-sand coves, such as Hong or the Four Islands. Snorkeling when visibility is good; simple seaside lunch; back for golden hour on the beach.

Day 10: Beach Day & Thai Flavors
Slow morning: pool, spa, hammock. Add a Thai cooking class, paddleboards, a private long-tail to a hidden cove, or a short trail to a sunset viewpoint.

Day 11: Free Day or Phi Phi by Boat
Your call: pure beach day or a private early start to Phi Phi for quiet coves and snorkeling before the rush. Certified divers can add a two-tank dive. The Andaman seas are typically calmest from November to May, and we’ll tailor to the season.

Day 12: Depart
Private transfer to Phuket or Krabi airport for your flight home or onward connection.ur onward flight.
