Day 1: Bangkok
Start your northern Thailand adventure in Bangkok with a welcome meeting at 6pm. Arrive at your hotel at any time, as there are no activities planned prior to your evening orientation with your guide. Please look for a note in the hotel lobby or ask reception where it will take place. If you’ve chosen to upgrade your tour to include a round-trip airport transfer, a tour representative will meet you at the airport and transport you to your accommodation in Bangkok.
It is recommended that you arrive early to explore Thailand's magnificent capital. Located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok is famous for its tuk tuks, canals and street vendors serving up delicious Thai food. Consider taking a riverboat to explore the bustling streets of Chinatown, visiting the stunning Grand Palace and its Emerald Buddha, watching a Thai kickboxing match or simply indulging in a Thai massage in preparation for the journey ahead.

Day 2: Bangkok Sukhothai
Board a train for an approximate six-hour ride north to Phitsanulok. En route, get to know fellow travelers in your small group as you take in the scenery of the Thai countryside. Upon arrival in Phitsanulok, visit Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat (Wat Yai) -- one of Thailand’s most important and beautiful temples, known for its 14th-century bronze Buddha image cast with a flame-like halo.
After touring the temple with your guide, board a songthaew for the exciting one-hour journey to Sukhothai. Established as Siam’s first capital in the 13th century, Sukhothai is a friendly town with a wealth of fabulous sights to see, including the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Sukhothai Historical Park, which showcases some of the most impressive ruins in Thailand.
Relax in the tranquil town of Sukhothai, set amid leafy forests, perfumed gardens and fertile rice paddies on a fertile plain. If you’d like, head to the fascinating night market and try a local dish such as Sukhothai noodles, fried rice or even fried insects! Or, enjoy some pampering at Sukhothai's herbal sauna and massage center.

Ride past four large ponds often filled with stunning lotus flowers in full bloom, and learn about Thailand’s Golden Age from your guide.
Admire the Sukhothai-era religious art and architecture including the ruins of 21 historical sites with awe-inspiring Buddha images considered to be the most classic of Thai styles. Along the way, you’ll stop for a home-cooked picnic lunch and visit a local ceramics factory if there’s enough time.
Afterward, embark on a three-hour bus trip to Lampang, a northern Thai city where you can still ride a horse and cart for transport. Check out Lampang’s interesting temples, such as Wat Phra That Lampang Luang, or relax in one of its great bars.
