Detailed Itinerary:

Here is how the five days unfold, from an early flight to Sukhothai to a muddy, happy morning with the elephants near Chiang Mai. Every part of it can be adjusted: add a night where you want to linger, swap an activity or change your hotel class, and we will shape the plan around you.

Day 01:Bangkok – Fly to Sukhothai – Historical Park – Lampang

Fly north to Sukhothai, the first capital of Siam, whose ruins are among the most beautiful in Thailand.

Early morning

Your driver collects you from your hotel in Bangkok for the airport and your early flight to Sukhothai.

Morning

Your guide meets you on arrival for the drive to Sukhothai Historical Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spend most of the day among its temples, where serene Buddha images sit among lotus ponds and old brick chedis. The park is flat and best explored by bicycle, so if you have the energy, hop on a bike and pedal from ruin to ruin.

Continue by road with your guide and driver to Lampang, an easy-going town in the north, and check in to your hotel to relax.

Accommodation: Hotel in Lampang.

Day 02:Lampang – Chiang Rai – White Temple

From one of the finest Lanna temples to Chiang Rai and its extraordinary White Temple.
