In the morning your chauffeur will drive you to the airport of Bangkok for a check-in for your private jet flight to Chiang Rai. Upon arrival, a private car with your guide are waiting to bring you to your hotel, around one hours’ drive.
Today and the next day you are in the hands of the staff of the Four Seasons to enjoy the amazing All-Inclusive Package. You will enjoy one spa treatment, a half day mahout training course and a private Golden Triangle Excursion. All house wines and spirits and mini-bar are inclusive. You can arrange these fine activities with your private tent butler who will help you organize amazing feats such as a private dinner wine pairing or you might prefer ‘dining with the Elephants’. Either way, the team at the resort will spoil you…..
We start the day with a mountain top Champagne Breakfast at the hilltop with the Elephants! After that you will continue to enjoy the activities you have chosen at the resort. Maybe a relaxing massage, or a nice exploration of the Golden Triangle with your private guide. Tonight you wine and dine in the resort.
This morning you will be picked up by your private limousine and guide to be driven to
Saphan Taksin Pier where you will board the Luxury Boat to the Historic city of Ayutthaya with a history professor to accompany you.
The highlight of this day will include Bang Pa In Palace. Located a few miles down the Chao Phraya River, a complex of royal residences first built in around the 17th century to serve as a summer palace of Ayutthaya kings. It was later abandoned and ruined until King Mongkut (Rama IV) restored the complex. Most of the buildings we see today were ordered to build during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), who regularly spent his summers here with his royal consorts.
We continue to visit Wat Niwet Thammaprawat opposite the Bang Pa In Palace. The only Neo-Gothic monastery in Thailand and is located on an island in the Chao Phraya River.
After Lunch at a riverside local restaurant “SALA Say Cafe” we head toward to Wat Phanan Choeng Worawiharn. Although the temple has been built even before the establishment of Ayutthaya as the capital city, there is no clear record about its founder. According to the Northern Chronicles, Phra Chao Sai Namphung, the ruler of Ayotthaya, had it built at the royal cremation site of Phra Nang Soi Dok Mak and named the temple “Wat Phra Chao Nang Choeng”
At the end of this day we will escort you to your private limousine and drive you back to your hotel in Bangkok for your time at leisure.
Chiang Mai is a city which has an identity of its own. Highlights of Chiang Mai are distinctive, charming and form a unique culture which is quite different from other parts of Thailand. We pick you up early morning in the limousine to go up the mountain of Doi Suthep before the crowds arrive. On the way we stop to offer some food and drink to the monks in the morning. After Doi Suthep, we drive to Wat Umong (Wat Umong or “Tunnel temple” is unique because of its location in the forest and its system of tunnels. The serene and peaceful atmosphere at the 13th century forest temple near Doi Suthep mountain provides a welcome change from the much visited sites). Drive pass the moat of the ancient city. We stop for lunch at the famous Rachamanka hotel. After lunch we drive to take the trishaw to visit Wat Chedi Luang (main temple of the Chiang Mai city). After that we enjoy an afternoon tea at Nakara Jardin (Nakara’s garden). It’s a beautiful place to take a rest and break for a while.
After this we continue our tour to meet with the famous novelist of Thailand, Khun Malacomejan at his house in the Sanpatong district. We cook food with him, talk with him and eat the dinner Kantoke style at his residence.
