So it has been just over a year since my trip to Thailand. It is on rainy Vancouver days like these that I miss the warm weather, spicy food, sun kissed beaches and the non-stop Thai massages.
This winter I am on a mission to pack away the winter clothes and head back to the tropical paradise of Thailand on our new Super Thailand Tour. Super Thailand will include Bangkok, Ayutthaya, Kanchanaburi and the River Kwai with optional Phuket Island extension.
Thailand’s hidden treasures are uncovered during a drive through the city of Bangkok, via the Indian Market, the wholesale Flower market, China town and the Royal Avenue where the Palace of the King is located. This city tour is sure to be an amazing introduction to the diverse Thai culture.
On the banks of the River Kwai, Kanchanaburi is famous for the River Kwai Bridge built during World War II. Here, participants will visit the Allied Forces cemetery and spend time in the fascinating Thailand-Burma Railway Center Museum. Guests will ride a train across the famous bridge to Wang Po Station and Hellfire Pass Memorial. This memorial is part of the Death Railway that cuts through the mountains; it details the life of the Allied prisoners and Asian laborers who helped build, and subsequently suffered or died at Hellfire Pass.
The final city of the tour is the ancient capital of Siam, Ayutthaya. Here, participants will visit the ruins and temples of Bang Pa In, built in the 18th century as a summer residence for the Kings of Ayutthaya, as well as Wat Phra Srisan Phet and Wat Mongkol (the Giant seated Buddha image).
Scheduled departure dates for the 10 Day Super Thailand are November 26, 2012, February 11, 2013 and March 11, 2013. Packages begin at $1499. The 4 day Phuket Island extension is only $699 per person and includes 3 nights accommodation.
