This module is a brilliant way to begin your Thailand trip. When you arrive in Bangkok, you'll be transferred to your hotel near the legendary Khao San Road. This neon street is a popular, must-see attraction amongst Bangkok visitors. You'll stay in a charming hotel with a rooftop swimming pool- perfect for cooling off after a day of sightseeing. The following afternoon, you'll set out to meet the real Bangkok on two wheels. With a pushbike, you'll make your way to the suburbs, where there is little evidence of modern-day life. You'll walk your bike through the local market and cycle on narrow paths alongside the klongs (canals) characteristic of Bangkok. Finally, the bikes will be loaded onto a boat and you'll drift back to the city along the jungle-lined river. You'll spend another night in the comfortable Bangkok hotel.

This is one of our most popular modules. It is a trip packed with variety that will take you through breathtaking scenery and over the legendary River Kwai. You'll visit floating markets and take a ride on the original tracks of the Burma 'Death' Railway. You'll spend an incredible night in floating huts on the river, lit by atmospheric oil lamps and surrounded by dense bamboo jungle. The following day, you can take a dip with the Thai people in the clear waters of the Erawan waterfalls.

En route from Bangkok or Kanchanaburi to Chiang Mai in the north, you can make a stop at the often forgotten royal city of Ayutthaya. Dotted with hundreds of colourful chedis (temple towers) and palaces, this historic city will give you a wonderful impression of Buddhist culture and the ancient Khmer kingdom. You'll take a sunset tuk-tuk tour for spectacular views over the ruin-strewn city.

Leave cosmopolitan chaos behind you for a taste of truly rustic Thailand. During this unique module, you'll visit a rural village buried deep within the countryside in the eastern province of Isaan. There are no hotels, shops or restaurants here - just agriculture and the natural wildlife. You'll stay with a family to experience some real Thai hospitality. Join your English-speaking hostess on walks through the village, visit the local temple (quite different to the golden extravagances of Bangkok), take a peek into the school classroom, learn how the land is farmed, and take part in village activities like branding cattle, hunting for insects, selecting silkworms. Maybe even indulge in a little bit of frog-hunting.....

Only a few hours from Bangkok you'll find the largest National Park in Thailand, with impenetrable jungle, innumerable plants, and incredible animals. During an evening drive, you'll go wildlife spotting in the park, perhaps bumping into a herd of elephants or a huge flock of bats. You'll also take a trip to cool, crystal waterfalls and spectacular, dizzying ravines. You'll be accommodated in comfortable jungle huts.

Hua Hin is the easiest beach destination to reach in Thailand- only 4 hours southwest of Bangkok. It is a popular holiday destination for both Thai and western tourists. The hotels and resorts here are extremely comfortable. During this module you will stay for two nights on the golden beach in a small hotel with its own swimming pool. All rooms are spacious with a king-size bed, air conditioning and a minibar. In the evening, you can stroll down to the colourful night market in the centre of the town. You'll find street stalls overflowing with Thai delicacies, such as sticky rice and mango. There are also plenty of souvenir shops to lighten your pockets. Don't forget to haggle!

When planning your trip, don’t forget to take account of the time required to travel between modules. For example, when travelling from Bangkok to Chiang Mai you should give yourself at least one rest day in Chiang Mai before starting a module. If a module ends on Wednesday we recommend taking Thursday off and then starting a new module on Friday. In our planning, we always take into account the best link between modules. Feel free to contact us for advice- we'll be on hand to help.
The prices quoted are per person, based on two people sharing. We can also arrange transportation between places and modules, or, if you would prefer, you can choose to arrange these yourselves locally. In the cities, there will be dozens of taxis and tuk-tuks clamouring for your business so getting from A to B is very. Breakfast is also included in the quoted prices, and any other meals that may be included are stated in the daily itinerary. For overnight travel, we use comfortable second-class air-conditioned sleeper trains.
We also offer suggested itineraries which are built from a logical combination of these modules. These might give you an idea of some possible routes for your trip.
