Description

A Trip for Two to Thailand for Three Nights in Bangkok and Three Nights in Chiang Mai, Including Round Trip Economy Class Air from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, Private Transfers, Sightseeing and Tours, Boat Ride, Elephant Ride, River Rafting, and Cultural Show and Dinner (Land Only)

Well known as the ?City of Angels?, Bangkok is a vibrant city, a national treasure house, and Thailand?s spiritual, cultural, political, commercial, educational, and diplomatic center, offering endless opportunities for sightseeing and entertainment. Explore the numerous canal (klong) networks, for which the city has also been dubbed the ?Venice of the East?, as you ride through the Thonburi canals. No trip to Thailand is complete without a visit to the Grand Palace, which houses the Emerald Buddha, the most precious and revered image of the Lord Buddha, carved out of a single piece of Jade.

Your adventures continue into Chiang Mai, also known as the Rose of the North, a stunningly natural and beautiful city sitting on the Ping River. Get ready for the unique thrill of riding an elephant to a Lisu hill tribe village, trekking through lovely forest scenery along the river, and then white water rafting. When you aren?t riding magnificent animals through the landscape, you can explore this popular city. Chiang Mai offers a multitude of delights to its visitors, and within a half-hour drive in any direction are museums, ancient ruins, national parks, temples, waterfalls, mountain trails, and so many other distinct cultural enchantments!
