Multi-flavored like its mouthwatering cuisine, Thailand is a fascinating blend of Buddhist and animistic traditions, royal heritage, irrepressible energy, unsurpassed beauty, and intact tribal culture.  Thailand is both spicy and sweet, reserved and audacious.  Look below the pretty face of “the Land of Smiles,” to its hidden depth and proud culture.  From the untouched beaches of the south, to Bangkok’s cacophonous night markets, to the serene tribal villages perched upon mountaintops in the north, to the opulent temples and luxurious resorts crisscrossing its extremities—Thailand is a must-see for every curious traveler.

• Wake to the sound of birds calling through the jungle, in your over-water cabin in the Khao Sok Rainforest.  View lush vegetation and wildlife as you canoe through mangrove forests and pristine eco-systems.
• Spend time in the northern frontier town of Chiang Rai, and the infamous Golden Triangle.  Travel by boat along the Kok River to visit the hill-tribe villages scattered along its banks. 
• Cruise through quiet klongs (canals) to see why Bangkok is called the “Venice of the East.”  Disembark to enjoy the boundless music, art, nightlife, shopping and fine dining of this cosmopolitan, world-class city.
• Visit Chiang Mai, with its cool highland air, and unique architecture. Shop for stunning silks, rich celadon, silver, hand-made paper, wooden puppets and bronzes in the exuberant night market.
