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.

Lasting for half a day, this tour visits the villages of Bor Sang and San Kampaeng which are famous for their craft industries. We observe the manufacture of silk, hand-made cotton goods, and the traditional techniques still emplyed in woodcarving and in the production of silverware, lacquerware and paper umbrellas (min 2 people).

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.
