Classic Thailand is a 10-night trip visiting the highlights of Thailand whilst staying in luxurious accommodation.
Start your holiday in Thailand’s bustling capital city, Bangkok. Enjoy a gastronomic tour one evening, exploring old Bangkok and the myriad of street snacks and local dishes. Take a private tour of the city using a variety of local transport, avoiding traffic and supporting local businesses. You can also take in the fascinating floating markets by boat and take part in a mangrove reforestation project. From Bangkok, fly north to the charming city of Chiang Mai for three nights. Enjoy a night-time tour by private tuk-tuk, a wonderful introduction to the city. Your private day time tour shows yet another side to the city and the following day head out into the countryside for a visit to a fabulous elephant sanctuary. Spend time with these majestic beasts, with no riding, feeding or bathing. Finish the trip with four nights at the spectacular Six Senses Yao Noi in Phuket and enjoy pure relaxation in paradise.

When to go
The best time to visit Thailand is generally during the cool and dry season, which runs from November to early April. During these months, the weather is more comfortable with lower humidity and less rainfall, making it ideal for outdoor activities and sightseeing. The hot season (March to June) can be quite intense, especially inland, while the rainy season (July to October) brings frequent showers that could disrupt travel plans but also makes the landscape lush and green.
