Thailand 360° Summer: Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Koh Tao
The trip in a nutshell
This group trip to Thailand will take us from Bangkok to Koh Tao, passing through the northern cities of Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai. Along the way, we will immerse ourselves in the culture and traditions of this Southeast Asian country, as well as its natural beauty and renowned nightlife.
We will start in Bangkok, where we will be captivated by the bustling energy of the city and spend an evening exploring the Khao San Road district. Then, we will head north to Chiang Rai, where we will take in the sights of temples and Buddha statues, before continuing on to Chiang Mai where we will have a chance to interact with elephants. We will then travel south to Sukhothai, home to a UNESCO heritage site and the ancient Thai capital. After a night in Sukhothai, we will return to Bangkok and take the night train to Chumphon, where we will catch a ferry to the island of Koh Tao. There, we will spend two days relaxing on the beach and exploring the natural landscapes, as well as experiencing the island's lively nightlife.
