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.

This half-day tour visits some of Chiang Mai's famous and historic monasteries with their distinctive northern style, including Wat Phra Sing, Wat Chedi Luang, Wat suan Dawk and Wat Jet Yot, all dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries. We also see Wat Chiang Man, the city's oldest monastery, founded in 1296 (min 2 people). 

A day to change the way you cook and eat forever! This full-day course at the Baan Hong Nual cookery school in Chiang Mai is devoted to an introduction to the main ingredients used in Thai cuisine, their uses, storage and suitable alternatives. The uses of these ingredients will then be demonstrated with the assistance of the participants in preparing a typical Thai lunch. Afterwards there is the opportunity to learn more about, and taste, a selection of Thai fruits and snacks. 

Lasting a full day (approx. 07.00-17.00), this tour first visits the Elephant Conservation Centre, where you see elephants bathing and demonstrating their skills at hauling lumber. We also tour the facilities of the elephant hospital, to which sick and injured elephants are brought from all over the country, and see how young elephants are weaned form their dependence on humans in preparation for release into the wild. Continuing to Lampang, we visit one of the most sacred temples in the North, Wat Phrathat Lampang Luang, and the Burmese-style temples Wat Phra Kaew Dontao, and Wat Sri Longmuang, before returning to Chiang Mai (min 2 people).
