'THE LAND OF SMILES'

Scenery and Culture

High mountains including a ride to the summit of Thailand’s highest mountain, Doi Inthanon at 2’565m. Along the border to Laos the mighty Mekong River including the Golden Triangle, where Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos meet. In days long gone, it was a drug trafficking center, but is now a sleepy port village. In the south, beautiful sandy beaches as far as the eye can see.

Gleaming temples and golden Buddhas frame both the rural and urban landscape. Ancient banyan trees ceremoniously wrapped in sacred cloth to honor the resident spirits. Tea plantations and rural villages. Deep jungles and hill tribes with their own traditions and customs. ​Elephants are a common sight and are revered and respected. Experience these magnificent creatures up close and personal.

The Thai people are friendly, service-minded, and food-obsessed. We have mainly selected smaller boutique hotels, often blending into the natural environment, with relaxing leisure facilities. Enjoy a Thai massage followed by a dip in the pool after your ride. 

Adored around the world, Thai cuisine expresses fundamental aspects of Thai culture: it is generous, warm, refreshing, and relaxed. Thai dishes rely on fresh, local ingredients – pungent lemongrass, searing chilies and plump seafood. A varied national menu is built around the four fundamental flavors: spicy, salty, sweet, and sour. Our guides will ensure you can try it all.
