Dive into the magic of Thailand
Thailand is a land of contrasts – and you’ll experience them all. Begin in buzzing Bangkok, where scents, colours and temples awaken your senses. Travel through the historic beauty of Ayutthaya and the serene River Kwai to the lush north, with charming Chiang Mai as the highlight. Along the way, discover the real Thailand – authentic, peaceful, unforgettable.
With a selection of well-thought-out optional excursions, you can tailor the trip to suit your mood. Culture today, relaxation tomorrow? You’re in control. And because a touch of luxury never hurts, the journey ends in style on the paradise island of Phuket. Five glorious days of sun, sea and exciting excursions – or simply unwinding by the pool at your stylish resort. This is Thailand at its best: complete, surprising and perfectly tuned to your pace.
Cultural Etiquette and Respect
Respecting local customs and traditions is essential to ensure a harmonious trip. Thai people are generally very welcoming, but misunderstandings can occur if tourists do not observe local etiquette:
- Dressing Modestly: When visiting temples or religious sites, wear modest clothing that covers your shoulders and knees.
- Removing Shoes: Always remove your shoes before entering temples or someone’s home.
- Greeting with a Wai: The traditional Thai greeting, called a wai, is a slight bow with hands pressed together in a prayer-like fashion. It’s polite to return a wai when greeted this way.
