Thailand Travel - Adventure Tours
This trip to Thailand - the land of
tuk-tuks, elephants and Buddhas - is essentially about trekking to meet it's
tribal people and sample their cultures while exploring its famous rugged
hillsides with their spectacular views. Firstly, there's a few days of
traditional tourism in the bustling capital Bangkok, such as exploring the
Grand Palace, plus the river market canals and a visit to the famous Bridge
over The River Kwai with it's relics of the second world war. Then it's an
overnight sleeper train to Chiang Mai, Thailand's jewel of the north, for our
trekking. Over three days we will travel on foot and elephant back - as well
as rafting on a bamboo raft on the Maetang River- as we visit the villages of
White Karen and Muser to meet their tribes. Cultural highlights of Chiang Mai
will be the holy Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep Temple, 3,520 feet above sea level,
and visited by Buddhist pilgrims all year round, and night shopping in a
bazaar. Finally we return to Bangkok on the overnight sleeper train.
