Classic Thailand Heritage Trail

Bangkok – Ayutthaya – Ang Thong – Phitsanulok – Sukhothai – Chiang Rai – Chiang Mai | 7 Days / 6 Nights

This journey takes you far beyond Thailand’s beaches and city lights, tracing the country’s story from its glittering capital to the cradle of Thai civilisation. Begin in Bangkok, then travel back in time through the UNESCO-listed ruins of Ayutthaya and Sukhothai — Thailand’s first and second capitals — before heading into the misty, temple-dotted hills of the north.

Along the way, you’ll pass through quiet riverside towns, cross the storied Golden Triangle where three nations meet, and end in Chiang Mai, the cultural heart of Northern Thailand. It’s a trip built for travellers who want to see the “real” Thailand — its history, its temples, and its landscapes — at a relaxed, well-paced rhythm.
