  Places Visited : Bangkok, Khao Yai National Park, Surin, Khong Jiam, Kong Jian

Whilst most travellers visit Chiang Mai in Thailand's north, this off the beaten track holiday heads north east to the little-visited northeastern province of Isaan to experience its superbly sited Khmer temples, national parks and beautiful Mekong Valley, pausing at the ruined former capital of Ayutthaya en route. This trip takes you about as far off the conventional tourist trail as it is possible to get in Thailand.

You’ll get to experience pristine jungle, explore some of Southeast Asia’s most evocative ancient ruins, visit a silk weaving workshop and elephant rescue centre, as well as cruise by boat down the mighty Mekong to see a world-class prehistoric cave painting site – and can expect to encounter very few of your fellow tourists along the way.

Remember, this trip can be personalised to suit your travel needs - we can tailor everything from hotel, travel type, duration and more.
