Travel to Bangkok, the overcrowded capital of Thailand, and it is like throwing yourself into a mad melee of a metropolis, decadent and often squalid, but extremely traveller-friendly. Bangkok is undoubtedly one of Asia's most exciting cities, and one of the world's largest, promising to reveal to each traveller the wild and untamed mysteries of the east. Starting in the bustling capital of Bangkok, we visit the amazing Grand Palace, and explore the Floating Markets by small canal boats. We see the famous Bridge over The River Kwai before heading out into the jungle by boat, through spectacular gorges, to our Floating Jungle Raft Hotel. Here there is the chance to ride elephants, go bamboo rafting, explore mystical caves and swim in the river. After exploring the ancient capital of Ayutthaya on bikes, we take dinner on a rice barge before heading north to Chiang Mai. From here we visit the Elephant Conservation Centre, trek into nearby villages to meet and stay with the hill tribes, have more opportunities to ride elephants, and have time to explore the night markets and learn how to cook Thai food. Back to Bangkok, we rest for the night before heading on to the beautiful beaches of Koh Samet, where we can swim in the clear waters, relax on the beach, and sample the delicious Thai cuisine.
