Day 1
Day 1 - Bangkok - Ayutthaya Maeklong Railway, Damnoen Saduak, Bang Pa In, Ayutthaya Historical Park (B.L) 260 KM Breakfast at the hotel. At 06:30-07:00 Meet with the Italian-speaking guide and depart for a wonderful day of visits in the nearby provinces of Song Khram and Ratchaburi, about 100 km from Bangkok. We start with the Railway Market (Hoop Rom Market), commonly known as the Siang Tai market (at risk of life). It is considered one of Thailand's fantastic attractions. Spread over a length of 100 meters, the market is located on the railway near Mae Klong railway station. We then proceed to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, arriving at the pier and taking a long-tail boat for about 30 minutes through the canals to reach the Floating Market. The Damnoen Saduak market in Ratchaburi is one of Thailand's most popular floating markets. Every day, many Thai and foreign tourists come here to shop, eat, and soak in the atmosphere of the water markets of Thailand built over a hundred years ago. Around 11:00 AM, Departure for the discovery of the Ancient Capital of Thailand. Bang Pa In is located about 60 kilometers north of Bangkok, along the banks of the Chaopraya River, and is one of the summer palaces of the Thai Royal Family. The palace dates back to the seventeenth century, before the establishment of Bangkok as the capital, and then fell into disuse for a long period. All the buildings you will visit date back to its rebirth, made possible by King Mongkut (Rama IV) in the nineteenth century. We continue with the Ayutthaya Historical Park; the city was founded around 1350 and became the second Siamese capital after Sukhothai. It flourished from the 14th to the 18th century when it became one of the world's largest and most cosmopolitan urban areas and a center of diplomacy and global trade. Ayutthaya was strategically located on an island surrounded by three rivers that connected the city to the sea. This site was chosen because it was above the tide of the Gulf of Siam as it existed at that time, thus preventing the city from being attacked by maritime warships from other nations. Lunch is served at a local restaurant during the excursion. Check-in at the hotel is scheduled between 5:30 PM and 6:15 PM.
Day 2
DAY 2 - AYUTTHAYA – ANG THONG – SUKHOTHAI. (B.L.). Wat Muang & Wat Sang Kratai temples, Sukhothai Historical Park. Breakfast at the hotel. At 07:00, meet the guide and proceed to Ang Thong, where we visit Wat Muang Temple. This temple, located in Ang Thong, about ten kilometers from the city center, is best known for its enormous seated golden Buddha, standing 95 meters tall. It is the tallest in the country. Of particular interest here is the Buddha's right hand, which visitors can touch from a small stage, making them appear tiny underneath it, and Wat Sang Kratai Temple, an ancient temple surrounded by a Bodhi tree, the tree of Enlightenment. At 09:30, depart for Sukhothai, with a stop at a local restaurant for lunch. In the afternoon, around 14:00-14:30, we arrive at Sukhothai Historical Park. The park is open daily and offers tram services as well as bicycle rentals to explore the vast area. Main points of interest include the city walls located in the center of the Historical Park and surrounded by bastions. The rectangular-shaped city measures 1330 meters in width and 1800 meters in length. The walls contain four main gates. An inscription on the stone mentions that King Ramkhamhaeng placed a bell on one of the gates. If his subjects needed help, they could ring the bell, and the King would come out to make decisions on disputes and dispense justice. Within the city, there are 35 monuments including Buddhist temples and many other structures, including the Royal Palace and Wat Mahathat. Arrival at the hotel in Sukhothai is expected between 17:30 and 18:15. Overnight stay.
Day 3
DAY 3 - SUKHOTHAI - SRI SATCHANALAI - PHAYAO - CHIANG RAI Si Satchanalai Historical Park, Wat Phra That Suthon Mongkol Khiri, Vonburi House, Phayao Lake (B.L.) 400 Km 07:00 Meet with the Guide and departure for Chiang Rai, with pleasant stops along the way. Si Satchanalai Historical Park is situated on the bank of the Yorm River. The ancient city, formerly called Muang Chaliang, was renamed Si Satchanalai during the reign of Phra Ruang when a new administrative center was established to replace Chailang. The ruins of 134 monuments have been discovered within this park. Although not an ancient temple, Wat Phra That Suthon Mongkol Khiri has beautiful architecture inspired by traditional style, such as the Ubosot (ordination hall), and Lanna style with a teak building. The Vonburi House, built in teak, was constructed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in European colonial style, and today is an interesting, well-preserved museum house. Lunch break at a local restaurant. Phayao Lake is very popular among local tourists and is also an important fishing resource. Early in the morning, fishermen go out and return by mid-morning to supply the lakefront restaurants, which will prepare for another day of catering, with grilled lake fish naturally dominating the menu. The lakeside is a popular recreational area with afternoon aerobics classes, families picnicking, and couples strolling in the evening, moving along the promenade among cafes and adjacent restaurants. Here, various activities are possible (not included in the quotation, to be paid directly on-site), including renting a boat to cruise the waters to Wat Tilokarum, or renting a bicycle to wander around the lake. Arrival in Chiang Rai around 18:00-18:30. Check-in at the reserved hotel. Evening at leisure.
Day 4
DAY 4 - CHIANG RAI - CHIANG MAI. Golden Triangle, Wat Phra That Pu Khao, Opium Museum, White Temple, Mae Krachan, (B.L.) 320 Km Breakfast. Today we begin the exploration of this northernmost province of Thailand, starting from the famous Golden Triangle, the point where the borders of Myanmar (ancient Burma), Thailand, and Laos meet. The visit includes Wat Phra That Pu Khao, which offers a wonderful view of the Golden Triangle, the Mekong River, and the wooded mountains. Two large multi-headed Naga serpents at the bottom of the staircase protect the temple. We continue with the Opium Museum, which exhibits and educates visitors about opium production and its use in the lives of tribal hill populations. From the visit, we can learn much about the history of opium from when it developed in this infamous location. Lunch is served at a local restaurant. Along the way to Chiang Mai, we stop at the famous White Temple, Wat Rong Khun, one of the numerous religious sites in Chiang Rai. Created by the great devotion of the famous Thai artist Chalermchai Kosipipat, the temple is dedicated to Lord Buddha with the intention of building an attainable paradise on earth representing justice and encouragement of good karma. We also stop at the Mae Krachan Hot Springs. Arrival in Chiang Mai in the evening between 17:00 and 17:30. Check-in at the reserved hotel. Evening at leisure.

Today we have a beautiful day ahead at an elephant sanctuary, to get to know these pachyderms better, a half-day visit that offers visitors a pleasant experience with the opportunity to spend time with elephants in their natural environment, and to gain an overview of their history and behavior, creating pleasant memories for their time spent with these wonderful animals that will accompany you for a lifetime.

Built in the early years of the 19th Buddhist century (now we are in the 26th), the beauty of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is marked by statues of seven-headed serpents flanking the stairs to the temple where a golden pagoda in Chiang Saen style and all its exquisite Lanna architecture are located.
