Begin your sojourn in the Kingdom of Thailand with a couple of days in Bangkok. Visit the must-see sights on our Bangkok-In-A-Day itinerary, then indulge in some shopping in an air-conditioned shopping mall such as Siam Paragon.

Hop on a plane to Ko Samui and find a place to stay with fine sea views. Then do absolutely nothing for five days but soak up the sun, feast on seafood and splash about in the sea. If you get restless, take a day tour round the island.

Sun-tanned and rested, fly to Chiang Mai to explore this ancient city. Walk round the city walls and moat, taste Northern Thai cuisine and check out local music venues before renting a car and setting off on a 4-day adventure on the Mae Hong Son Loop. Spend a night each in Pai, Mae Hong Son and Mae Sariang.

Finally, give back the car, pack your bags and head for home.
