Upon arrival in Bangkok, get ready for a flavorful introduction to Thailand with a food tour by tuk-tuk in the evening. At 19:00, our local guide will greet you at the meeting point on Phetchaburi Soi 10, where stalls and eateries line the road with enticing aromas and colorful dishes.

After you have a bite of some of Bangkok's longstanding favorites, the tuk-tuk continues to Saphan Khao Market. At this wholesale market, you will discover a diverse selection of fresh fruits sourced directly from farms.

The next stop is Phra Athit Road, a haven for food lovers. Here, you will have an opportunity to try out Bangkok’s Roti and curries. Do not miss the chance to indulge in Pad Thai, the most famous dish, at a legendary spot.

As night deepens, you will move to contemplate Wat Pho, home to the magnificent Reclining Buddha, glowing under the stars.

Your final destination of the day is Pak Khlong Talat, the city’s largest flower market, bursting with blooms and bustling with activity throughout the night.

The tour concludes around 23:00, and our tuk-tuk will drop you off at Siam BTS Station.

Morning

After breakfast at your hotel, your full-day exploration of Bangkok starts with a visit to the Grand Palace, a masterpiece of Thai architecture and history. This royal complex has long served as the ceremonial heart of the Thai monarchy and is revered as one of the most sacred sites in the country.

Within the grounds lies Wat Phra Kaew, dedicated to the Emerald Buddha, a spiritual icon cherished by Thai people.

From here, you will proceed to Wat Pho, one of the oldest and most significant Buddhist temples in Bangkok. Situated along the eastern banks of the Chao Phraya River, the temple is famous for housing the Reclining Buddha, a 45-meter-long statue with inlaid mother-of-pearl soles, symbolizing the Buddha’s final moments before enlightenment.

Following your morning visits, you will have lunch at a local restaurant, with the cost to be paid on the spot.

Afternoon

In the early afternoon, it is time to take a stroll around Chinatown and broaden your mind with various specialties from different countries in the region. Then, you will get yourself transferred to Wat Traimit. This is a place where you can see the impressive Golden Buddha statue with your own eyes.

Later, you will get on a long-tail boat for a cruise along the Chao Phraya River and the narrow canals of Thonburi. This ride promises to reveal a different side of the city, from wooden houses, floating markets, to riverside temples. Additionally, a stop at Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, at sunset gives you a good chance to look closely at the design, which is very different from the other temples in Bangkok.

Afterward, you will return to your hotel to relax and enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure.

Having finished eating breakfast, you will set out southwest of Bangkok to experience one of Thailand’s most unique sights, the Maeklong Railway Market. Here, vendors place both sides of an active train track, and just moments before a train passes by, stalls are pulled back with remarkable coordination. Remember to take in the scene, snap some photos, and fill up your belly with a few snacks right at the market.

Subsequently, you will keep your trip going to rural areas to explore the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Aboard a motorboat, you will glide past wooden houses and dockside vendors. Do not forget to take your time to browse, observe, or shop from boats laden with tropical fruits, handmade goods, and traditional Thai treats.

After having lunch at your own pace, the afternoon is for your return drive to Bangkok.

After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your short flight from Bangkok to Phuket, Thailand’s largest and most beloved island. Upon arrival, your local guide will greet you and escort you to your hotel, nestled along the coastline or near the lively town center.

The rest of the day is yours to relax at your resort, dip into the turquoise sea, or take a stroll along the vibrant beachside streets. Let the tropical pace of Phuket welcome you with sunshine and serenity.

Around 08:00 – Your exciting day begins with a hotel pick-up.

Your first stop is the intriguing Suwankhuha Temple (Monkey Cave), a peaceful Buddhist temple set inside a limestone cave and home to playful monkeys roaming freely around the entrance.

Next, cruise into the emerald waters of Phang Nga Bay National Park by speed catamaran. Glide through lush mangrove forests and take in the stunning seascape of towering limestone cliffs rising from the sea.

Arrive at the iconic James Bond Island (Khao Phing Kan & Khao Tapu), made famous by the film "The Man with the Golden Gun." You’ll have about 30 minutes here to explore the island, snap unforgettable photos, and take in the cinematic surroundings.

Continue the adventure with a canoeing trip through Lot Cave, a unique experience as you paddle through sea caves and hidden lagoons with an experienced guide.

Enjoy a cultural and culinary stop at Koh Panyee, a floating Muslim fishing village built entirely on stilts. Explore the village and enjoy a delicious Thai lunch served in a local restaurant.

After returning to the pier, the adventure isn’t over yet -   head into the rainforest for a memorable 40-minute elephant trekking experience, where you’ll ride through lush jungle trails and connect with nature.

16:30 – 17:00 – Return to your hotel filled with incredible memories of Thailand’s island beauty and unique culture.

You will have a relaxed morning and afternoon in Phuket. Take this opportunity to soak in the ambiance before the next leg of your journey.

Evening

In the evening, you will experience one of Thailand’s most captivating cultural performances at the Siam Niramit Phuket show. Before the performance begins, you will delight in a generous buffet dinner offering a wide selection of Thai and Western dishes. You will also have time to explore the pre-show attractions, including a traditional village setup for photo opportunities, a Victory Parade featuring elephants and warriors, and a variety of souvenir shops filled with handcrafted Thai art.

Once the show begins, you will be transported through centuries of Thai history. With over 150 performers, elaborate costumes, and cutting-edge special effects, the production brings to life the legends, traditions, and spiritual beliefs of ancient Siam.

Today is yours to enjoy the tropical charm of Phuket however you please. You can spend the day relaxing on the beach, pampering yourself with a spa treatment, or simply lounging by the pool with a refreshing drink in hand.

For those craving adventure, Phuket offers plenty of optional experiences - from island hopping and snorkeling tours to temple visits, cooking classes, and vibrant night markets. Whether you seek relaxation or exploration, the island provides the perfect setting for both.

After breakfast, enjoy some final leisure time in Phuket before your transfer to the airport. Board your international flight to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s dynamic southern metropolis, where tradition and modernity blend effortlessly.

Upon arrival at Tan Son Nhat International Airport, your local guide will welcome you and escort you to your hotel in the heart of the city. The rest of the day is free to relax or begin exploring Saigon’s vibrant streets at your own pace.

Morning

Firstly, our guide will pick you up at 08:00 for a journey to Cu Chi Tunnels, located about two hours outside Ho Chi Minh City. Along the way, you will take in the peaceful countryside views that contrast with the turbulent history of the site.

When arriving, you will watch a short documentary to learn about the construction and strategic significance of this underground network, which served as a hiding place, supply route, and living quarters for Vietnamese soldiers during the war. You will then have the chance to travel a portion of the tunnels yourself, experiencing firsthand the ingenuity of the design. Before coming back to the city, you will enjoy a light lunch with local specialties.

Afternoon

Later in the afternoon, your city tour kicks off at two French colonial landmarks: the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Saigon Central Post Office, both showcasing 19th-century European architecture.

From there, you will continue to set out to the Reunification Palace, once the home of South Vietnam’s president, and now a symbol of the country’s reunification, with the harmonious blend of modernist and Asian design.

The next scheduled attraction is the War Remnants Museum, which presents a powerful perspective on the realities of the Vietnam War through photographs and exhibits.

After the tour, you will return to your hotel to rest and reflect on a day filled with many interesting activities.

Today, you will fly from Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang. Upon arrival at Cam Ranh Airport, a driver will take you on a scenic drive to Ninh Thuan Province.

After settling in, gather for a Welcome Dinner featuring fresh local cuisine and regional specialties. This is a perfect opportunity to unwind, meet fellow travelers, and get a taste of what makes Ninh Thuan such a hidden gem in Vietnam.

You will start your day early because our private guide and driver will move from the hotel at 07:30 to Vinh Hy Bay, one of the most pristine coastal areas in Vietnam. Passing by Cam Ranh and along the Binh Tien - Vinh Hy route, you will witness a landscape of rolling hills and turquoise sea before arriving at the bay.

Following that, you will get on a glass-bottom boat to appreciate coral reefs and fish right beneath your feet. The boat will transport you to Ba Dien (Mad Lady) Beach, where you will snorkel and swim with private equipment provided, or relax on the soft sand. This is also an ideal spot to taste fresh seafood and captivate yourself with an ocean setting.

After a satisfying lunch included in the tour, you will make a stop at a local grape garden, one of the region’s specialties. Besides posing for photos, it is also a good place to buy souvenirs made from grapes for your loved ones.

Take today to fully immerse yourself in the peaceful rhythm of Ninh Thuan. Whether you choose to unwind by the beach, stroll through vineyards, or explore hidden Cham villages, this quiet coastal province offers the perfect backdrop for relaxation and discovery.

You may also opt for optional activities such as enjoying a spa treatment, or discovering local crafts. Let the ocean breeze and sun-drenched scenery rejuvenate you on your own schedule.

Enjoy another day at your own pace in the peaceful setting of Ninh Thuan. Whether you prefer a quiet morning with the sound of waves, a beach yoga session, or venturing out to discover more of the region’s natural beauty and heritage, the choice is yours.

This extra free day gives you the flexibility to fully unwind or dive deeper into local life - perhaps with a visit to a Cham cultural site, a cycling route through coastal villages, or simply soaking in the sun at your resort.

After a rejuvenating stay in the coastal beauty of Ninh Thuan, it’s time to say goodbye. Depending on your flight schedule, enjoy a final moment of peace - perhaps a sunrise stroll or a quiet breakfast by the sea.
