En route, we stop to enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. Doi Suthep which offers spectacular views of the Chiang Mai area. Enjoy traditional food and watch elegant Thai dancers and colourfully dressed Hill Tribe people perform their own traditional dances. Visit an elephant camp, learn how elephants work in the jungle and see them relaxing as they bathe in the river. After lunch, we head out of town to explore Chiang Mai's famous cottage industries.
Shopping here is a delightful experience.
This morning you will be transferred to Chiang Mai airport to join the 2 hour Thai Airways flight to the southern island of Phuket. Upon arrival you will be transferred to your beachside hotel where you will stay for the next 3 nights. The rest of the day is at leisure to relax. Start the day with a drive across the island to the mainland, where a boat awaits to cruise you around the sheer-sided limestone islands in the famous Phang Nga Bay. These silent islands jut dramatically out of the sea and are interspersed with mangroves and intriguing, fascinating caves.
