This option is designed for private departures on our Taste of Thailand tour, and upgrades your accommodation from our normal Superior level 5 star hotels, to one of Thailand's finest hotels, the Sukothai Bangkok (deluxe studio), and one of the best hotels available in Kanchanaburi, the Pavilion Rim Kwai Resort (executive suite). Further supplements may apply during peak seasons. Other hotels are also available on request.

This option provides an evening dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya river through the centre of Bangkok on the antique Wan Fah rice barge. A sumptuous Thai meal is served as you sail up and down the river. Transfers to and from your hotel are included on a joining basis with other travellers. You can book this option in advance or while you are in Bangkok.

This introductory half day tour is done on foot and using a wide selection of different public transport to familiarise you with the city of Bangkok and its many different sites and features. We concentrate more on learning about the life of the city rather than visiting famous sites which you may see during the main part of your tour.
