Discovery of Thailand: Chiang Mai, Khao Sok and Phuket in 7 days

Upon arrival, a private driver will wait for you at the airport lobby and escort you to your hotel in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand. This area is famous for its mountainous scenery and laid-back vibe. After completing your check-in procedure, you can spend the rest of the afternoon exploring Chiang Mai at your own pace.

Wat Phra Singh Temple

Known as the cultural capital of the country, Chiang Mai is home to a charming Old Town and a remarkable selection of temples, such as the Wat Phra Singh complex, the 15th century Wat Chedi Luang, and the mountainside Doi Suthep, an ideal place to admire a spectacular sunset. In the evening, don’t miss sampling local cuisine, such as khao soi (coconut curry soup) in night markets or restaurants. Your first day in Thailand 7 days tour goes well.

Many people come to Chiang Mai for an ethical experience in the company of rescued elephants at a local sanctuary. Don’t forget to bring your swimsuits today, then meet your driver for a transfer to a scenic valley nearby to encounter a herd of gentle giants. Once you’ve changed into your mahout attire (traditional elephant keeper attire), you’re able to feed and bathe the elephants. This activity also follows you to touch these majestic creatures.

After lunch, cool off in the swimming pool and enjoy the view of the Chiang Mai Valley. Next, try a mud bath with the elephants, it’s a fun way to create a natural barrier on their sensitive skin, keep them clean and protect them from the scorching sun. Elephants feel more comfortable when bathing and are more likely to interact with you during this time. Elephants will then be able to roam freely and munch on other food before you board your private transfer back to your hotel in the heart of Chiang Mai.

The 3rd day of the Thailand 7 days tour starts with a leisurely breakfast at your hotel and then a transfer by plane to Surat Thani. Located near the mouth of the Taki River on the Gulf of Thailand, this area is the gateway to many of Thailand’s breathtaking islands, including Ko Samui, Ko Tao, and Ko Pha Ngan.

Savor dinner sourced from the site’s organic farm, then set off on a night game drive as the sun sets. Follow your guide for 2 hours through the rainforest and keep your eyes peeled and your flashlight on for sightings of slow lorises, sambar deer, bats, or even a lone leopard.
