Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities.

Overview
If you learn just one Thai word, let it be “sanuk”, meaning fun. On this expertly curated journey from the markets of Bangkok to the tribal villages of the north and the serene beaches of southerly Koh Samui, smiles abound. Welcome to the cheerful heart of Southeastern Asia.
A vibrant whirlwind of steamy heat, bold street food and floating flower markets amidst golden temples awaits in Bangkok. To the north, the Golden Triangle's jungles and rivers merge with the temples of Chiang Rai and intricate Lanna architecture. The journey then wends south: tropical islands offer a castaway fantasy with white-sand beaches and warm seas. Off the east coast, Koh Samui provides relaxation with sophisticated resorts and serene landscapes.

Bangkok remains Southeast Asia's capital of cool, seamlessly blending modern luxury with vibrant street life. From swanky shopping malls and Michelin-starred dining to wild, anything-goes nightlife and bustling street markets, the city hums with sensory intensity. Amid the flurry of everyday life, there are pockets of calm - wind chimes tinkling on empty lanes, temple courtyards with just the Buddha for company.

Chiang Rai
Chiang Rai | Emerald Mountain Enclave
Deep in the hills of northern Thailand, shouldering up to the border of Myanmar, Chiang Rai emerges through the trees, a sacred haze of splendorous temples. This is the heart of the region's famed Golden Triangle, though it is a city defined by all its colors: by the greens of its tea plantations, the fuchsia flesh of dragon fruit at the Night Bazaar and the startling, cobalt vision of Wat Rong Suea Ten temple, whose regal blues leaves visitors silent with wonder.

Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai | Gateway to Jungle Adventure
Cradled by rice paddies, Chiang Mai is a lush, laid-back portrait of Thai tradition and culture. Ornate temples and palaces, their walls lavished with gold and silver, hark to the city's days as the capital of the former Lanna Kingdom. The outdoors beckons, too: this is the gateway to Thailand's mountainous north, home to hilltop tribes, fruit groves and tea plantations. And then there are the legendary night markets - as much a social affair as a place to do business - where stories and wares are traded beneath the glow of a million lanterns, the air thick with the scent of spice.
