Arrival in Bangkok

Bangkok - Upon arriving at Bangkok airport, travelers will be warmly welcomed by a local driver and transported to their hotel. The rich history of Thailand’s capital, Bangkok, is intricately connected to the Chakri dynasty, which continues to reign but not govern in Thailand. After checking in at the hotel, guests can enjoy some leisure time for relaxation.

Bangkok – Khao Yai

Khao Yai - The journey to Khao Yai begins with a stop at the Klang Don fruit market, offering a variety of local products, fruits, and vegetables.

Surin – Khong Jiam

Prasat Wat Sa Kamphaeng Yai - Travel to Kamphaeng Yai to visit this lesser-known Khmer site. Dating back to the 11th century, it comprises six buildings.
