Tropical Getaway Tour to Thailand: Vibrant Beach, Cities and more (10 Days Tour)

Floating Four Regions

Today is a perfect day to rise in the early dawn to see the sensational Floating Market known as the Four Regions Floating Market. The market covers an area over 300,000 square-feet, separated into four parts that range from all four corners of Thailand, the north, northeast, central, and south.

There is an abundance of aromas that range from fresh produce bursting with citrus, like bright rambutan, to luscious seafood, such as chili prawns cooked right before your eyes; you can even sit and enjoy coconut pancakes and thong yip, a regional dish of sweet egg yolk. Boats crowd the waterway, filled with vivacious goods, from textiles to more food, handcrafts to toys, filling the morning with an almost overwhelming exuberance and delight. The hundreds of wooden houses that line the river offer insight into the variety of culture within Thailand’s four regions. 

Back in the city you can explore the stunning architecture of the Sanctuary of Truth. The entire structure was made of wood, including abstaining from the use of metal nails, complete with an otherworldly view of the sea.

The temple itself rises over the bay with intricate pagoda style architecture and tall, thin spires that took 30 years to complete. It is more than just a building; it is also considered a devout work of art rising 20 stories high and covered with woodcarvings that depict characters of both Hindu and Buddhist belief. 

What’s Included: breakfast, tour, accommodation. 

Within the Canopy

The gentle aroma of breakfast livens your morning spirit, filled with fresh squeezed orange juice and a smattering of sweet fruits from divine bananas to gargantuan jackfruit. After breakfast you will make your way out of the city with a celebrated experience on the Flight of the Gibbon.

The experience brings you into the jungle canopy to see life in the way that a gibbon might, spreading almost two-miles through the trees with 22 ziplines and two stations that will have you abseiling as if you were a professional at monkeying around. Your semi-private transfer will have you at the park in no time, filling your eyes with the panorama of the treetops from above and below.

The scent of pine surrounds you. The wind rushes past as you journey from one tree to another along the buzzing sound of the ziplines that range from over 65 feet to 900 feet in length. After your tour of the treetops you will visit the Khao Kaew Safari Park, where the wilds of the jungle come to life, from elephants to actual gibbons, and even rhinoceros. The day is filled with anticipation and freedom, the exhilaration of flying and the open splendor of the wild. 

What’s Included: breakfast, lunch, tour, accommodation. 

Royal Grounds

Bangkok is an incredible rush of a city, similar to Pattaya in its endless energy but bursting with more life and culture, from remarkable temples to the historic Grand Palace. After breakfast you will venture along the famous Chao Phraya River, winding along the once busiest highway in the city, coming to the grounds of the Grand Palace. Built in the late 18th century the palace was the home to the Royal court for over 150 years.

The lavish architecture displays the importance of the palace as the spiritual heart of the past and present kingdom. The palace’s Inner court shows the contrast of styles, constructed and decorated with a European design but topped with a markedly Thai roof. 

On the palace grounds also sits Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, and is considered the most important temple in the country. The iconic green glowing image of Buddha dates back to the 15th century and was carved from a single jade block.

The structure itself is filled with an atmosphere of elegance and integrity, with the slight air of incense wafting along the halls. The building is unique in that it doesn’t contain monks’ living quarters and is entirely meant as an elaborate and holy decoration dedicated to Buddha. From the golden images of the Garuda, a mythological creature that is part bird and part man, to the flowing robes wrapped around the icon’s shoulders, the immeasurable detail and grace of the temple and the palace will leave you inspired. 

What’s Included: breakfast, lunch, tour, accommodation. 

The Trails of the Jungle 

The wildlife of the jungle offers tremendous insight, not just into the life of the animals but also the culture of the people that have been in touch with their natural surroundings for centuries, if not longer. After breakfast you will venture into the dense jungle, a place where the trees spread over the skyline and cast shades of light beneath them. Along the upper branches you can see the playful and rambunctious acts of gibbons, as they are most active in the cooler hours of the morning. 

The branches bob and weave as you make your way to Haew Narok Waterfall.

The water spills over the highest point of 240 feet spreading over three separate tiers. The powerful falls can be heard from quite a ways away, but when you come to the viewing platform there is little that can prepare you for the exquisite rush no matter the season, pouring down in what looks like a raucous curtain made of beads or an endless blanket of movement pressed against the rocky terraces.

In the evening you will watch over the salt licks, where the open plain spreads to the horizon, and is a notable place for the revered Asian elephant to frolic, feed, and traipse. 

What’s Included: breakfast, lunch, tour, accommodation. 

Into the Blue Sky

Today you will taste the sweetness of the pineapple and the richness of the fresh coconut before meeting your private transfer to the airport. The delights of Thailand are as simple as the fresh flavors and as grand as the national parks, whether on land or sea.

You have tasted the food and delighted in the landscape, found joy in the artwork and elegance flying through the trees. You have stepped into the jungle and jumped into the sea, finding the wonder of Thailand in and out of the blue. 

What’s Included: breakfast, transfer.
