My Family in Thailand - 12 Days / 11 Nights
Exotissimo Travel was established in 1993 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. We are now one of the longest established inbound tour operators in Indochina, Myanmar and Thailand and one of the best known.
Thailand is an incredible, varied country, with far too much to see and do to just stay in one place. That is why Exotissimo has designed the My Family in Thailand Tour - to take you across the country in 12 days full of family-friendly activities and adventures.
Starting in Bangkok, the city is the perfect introduction to modern Thai culture set against incredible historic monuments such as the huge golden reclining Buddha shrine Wat Pho and the ethereal Grand Palace. The waterways or 'klongs' that connect the city offer the perfect means of transportation to see all that Bangkok life has to offer.
Leaving Bangkok we head to nearby Kanchanaburi, the site of the infamous River Kwai 'death railway'. Aside from its tragic history, Kanchanaburi is today a quaint town with a wealth of local sights including the Buddhist Tiger Temple and the nearby Erawan National Park with its spectacular waterfalls.
Leaving Kanchanaburi and heading back to Bangkok, we give you time to enjoy a day at your own leisure exploring the city's markets or simply taking it easy before taking a tour of Thailand's former capital Ayutthaya. Set on an island in the centre of the Chao Phraya River, this ancient city is a picturesque vision of crumbling monuments in the most atmospheric of surroundings.
Then it's on to Uthai Thani to enjoy the surrounding waters by kayak before visiting another relic of Thailand's past, Sukhotai. Now a UNESCO world heritage site, the area is surrounded in 13th and 14th century ruins left from the days of Khmer rule.
Of course no trip to Thailand would be complete without sampling its unbeatable beaches, so for the last two days we take you to Phuket to while away the rest of your time on fine white sands against the backdrop of warm azure waters.
A new perspective in a city setting - Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa is a city resort with a difference. The resort has every 5-star facility that a business or leisure traveler could wish for.
Travel to Nonthaburi, a central Thai province located directly north of Bangkok on the Chao Phraya River and experience what it's like to be treated as a guest in a traditional Thai home. Your stay at the Thai House will be one you'll long remember and on this trip you'll shop at local markets, visit a folk museum and take a long-tail boat ride through a maze of klongs towards Bangkok's China Town district for more shopping.
Kanchanaburi is a town in western Thailand where, during World War II, the famed Bridge on the River Kwai was built by prisoners under Japanese control. Later the site inspired a classic novel and an Academy Award-winning film, although the area looks much different today. Many war memorials are located in this town including the JEATH War Museum and the Hellfire Pass Museum with its walking trail.
