9-day Luxury Thailand with Koh Samui

Begin your day by heading to the airport for a brief flight to Chiang Mai, a serene escape enveloped by wooded hills, picturesque countryside, and sacred landmarks.

Upon reaching Chiang Mai, you'll receive a warm welcome and be transported to the luxurious Cross Chiang Mai Riverside. Nestled alongside the serene Mae Ping River, this five-story resort, boasting traditional Lanna architecture, presents 30 elegantly designed suites furnished with modern amenities for your utmost comfort.

The afternoon is yours to unwind in the hotel or venture out to explore the scenic environs.

Explore the historic city of Chiang Mai with a trishaw ride, discovering its well-preserved wall, moat, landmark gates, and statues. Pause at the bustling Warorot Market, a vibrant hub where locals shop for an array of items, from fresh produce and spices to handicrafts and clothing.

Continue your journey with a scenic drive to the lush Wat Umong, a forested Buddhist temple, for a private blessing ceremony. Proceed to the hilltop marvel, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, ascending the 306-step staircase adorned with intricate naga carvings.

Revel in panoramic views of the city and countryside, especially enchanting at dusk. Explore the temple complex, culminating in an enchanting evening chanting ceremony by the monks.

Let's kick off the day with a scenic drive through the charming countryside, heading to an ethical elephant sanctuary. Get ready for an up-close-and-personal experience with the incredible Asian elephants! After a quick safety rundown, we'll dive into the sanctuary's story, witness these gentle giants' natural behaviors, and have a blast interacting with them—feeding and bathing fun!

Once the elephant extravaganza wraps up, let's head back to the hotel. The rest of the day is all yours to kick back, relax, and soak in the memories of our unforgettable time with these amazing creatures. It's your time to chill and enjoy the vibes.

Enjoy a day exploring Chiang Mai at your own pace. Consider a cooking class with a traditional Lanna family, a cycling tour through rural Thailand, or a thrilling adventure in Doi Inthanon National Park.

For cultural immersion, explore hill tribe villages, including the Karen Long Neck Village in Chiang Rai. The day is yours to craft the perfect Chiang Mai experience.

Get ready to kick off the beach chapter of your vacation! Following a laid-back breakfast, head to the airport for a late morning flight south to the tropical haven of Koh Samui.

Once you touch down, a private transfer will whisk you away to the tranquil retreat of Santiburi Koh Samui, perched on a cliff overlooking the serene Mae Nam Beach. Settle in for a day of pure relaxation.

Today is all about leisure, giving you the freedom to explore the beauty of the island at your own pace. Take full advantage of the resort's fantastic facilities or consider diving into an optional excursion thoughtfully organized by the hotel. Enjoy every moment! 

Your luxurious vacation comes to an end today. After breakfast, your private guide and driver will escort you to the airport for your flight back to Bangkok, where you connect with your international departure flight.
