Itinerary in detail

Every Jacada trip is tailored to your personal preferences and interests. Below you’ll find a sample itinerary to inspire your own custom-designed journey.

Days 1-3

Two nights exploring Bangkok

Bangkok, Thailand’s dynamic capital, is a city where tradition meets modernity in an extraordinary fusion. Famous for its lively streets, intricate temples, and delectable cuisine, Bangkok offers a rich tapestry of experiences. The Grand Palace and the stunning Wat Arun stand as testaments to the city’s historical grandeur, while the Chatuchak markets and numerous street food vendors provide a feast for the senses. Navigating the city’s labyrinthine canals, known as khlongs, reveals another layer of its charm and the vibrant nightlife, with its rooftop bars and night markets, showcases Bangkok’s contemporary pulse.

On foot

By boat

A foodie walk and culture tour through Chinatown

Embark on a private tour to uncover the  flavours of Bangkok’s historic Chinatown, a district steeped in 200 years of rich ethnic tradition and delectable cuisine.

Throughout the walking tour, indulge in tastings from several renowned eateries, ranging from street food vendors to prestigious fine dining establishments.

Between each culinary stop, delve deeper into this vibrant neighbourhood with behind-the-scenes glimpses, meeting lively characters at the food bazaar, hearing captivating stories and visiting religious and cultural landmarks.

A longtail boat experience along Bangkok's canals

Discover the city’s ways of life and iconic monuments from the water. Take a ride along the Chao Phraya River, also known as the ‘River of Kings’. Admire the passing skyline where glittering pagodas stand in the shadows of towering skyscrapers.

The boat then turns off the main waterway and onto the canals, or ‘klongs’. Now you’ll see why Bangkok is often called the Venice of the East. Capture glimpses of small villages on the water’s edge and enjoy the slower pace of life away from the city centre.

Cruise back onto the Chao Phraya to visit Wat Arun, a 79m high pagoda built in a style similar to Angkor Wat. Meaning ‘Temple of Dawn’, Wat Arun is one Thailand’s most beautiful temples.

A Champagne dinner cruise along the Chao Phraya River

Experience the enchantment of Bangkok from a unique perspective on a romantic champagne dinner cruise along the Chao Phraya River. Begin your evening with a glass of chilled champagne, setting the perfect tone for an exquisite six-course dinner. As you drift along the river, marvel at the city’s mesmerizing night-time views. After your meal, unwind on cozy lounge sofas, sharing intimate moments under the starlit sky.

 

 

A visit to the Grand Palace

Discover the dazzling Grand Palace, the revered residence of Thailand’s royal family for over 200 years. Wander through this magnificent complex, featuring opulent palaces, sacred temples, and fascinating museums, while delving into the rich history of Thai royalty. Don’t miss the chance to see the Emerald Buddha, one of Thailand’s most sacred and revered statues, before you leave.

 

 

Days 3-6

Three nights in Chiang Mai

Explore the wonderful city of Chiang Mai and spend time enjoying the surrounding countryside. Much smaller and more relaxed than Bangkok, it’s steeped in history and you can spend hours wandering around the temples and night markets in the Old Town. If you fancy heading out of town, you’ll be perfectly placed to explore the surrounding national parks and try out a few more adventurous activities.

Chiang Mai's temples

A hot air balloon ride over Chiang Mai

Experience an unforgettable hot air balloon ride over Chiang Mai’s stunning landscape. Begin early with a transfer to the launch site on the outskirts. Savor a cup of coffee as you watch the balloon inflate and gracefully ascend into the sky.

After a safety briefing, board the basket and feel the exhilaration as the pilot ignites the burners, lifting you gently into the air. As you ascend, enjoy breathtaking views of the countryside, including fields, rice paddies, and the lush Ping River valley. Glide over rural Thai villages and relish the serene atmosphere of the open skies.

After 1-1.5 hours of flight, descend for a countryside landing. Celebrate your adventure with a traditional champagne toast

A spiritual discovery of Chiang Mai

Embark on a spiritual journey in Chiang Mai by first exploring the city’s old town. Wander through the ancient city walls, marvel at the blend of historic and modern architecture and catch glimpses of shimmering pagoda spires bathed in the afternoon sun.

Visit the secluded jungle temple, Wat Phalad, renowned for its tranquility and rich history, housing a relic of the Buddha. Receive a blessing from a resident monk for health and fortune.

Continue your spiritual exploration outside the city centre with a scenic drive into the hills. Ascend the stairs of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, adorned with intricate naga sculptures. At the summit, discover the 14th-century pagoda’s storied past and admire panoramic views of Chiang Mai. Experience the mesmerising evening chants of the monks as the sun sets, a serene conclusion to your day’s spiritual odyssey.

Days 6-10

Four nights in Koh Yao Noi

A far cry from the quickly developing Phuket, yet only a one-hour boat ride away, Koh Yao Noi is considered one of the last unspoiled islands in the south of Thailand, offering a peaceful and enviable Thai beach experience.

Sitting in the middle of Phang Nga Bay, this laid-back haven is encircled by secluded beaches giving way to rice paddies, while the lush interior of rubber plantations and mangroves can be explored on motorbikes and tuk-tuks. Unlike some Thai islands – and for many this will be welcome relief – you won’t find a roaring nightlife or a notable shopping scene here; instead, look out for buffaloes taking mud baths, go snorkelling around the vibrant coral reefs and simply soak up the serene atmosphere.

A kayaking adventure through mangrove forests

Experience the breathtaking sunset as it paints the sky over the Pa Koh archipelago, accompanied by chilled champagne and delectable snacks on this serene and unforgettable boat excursion.

Jacada made the honeymoon of our dreams come to life. Our trip creator, Charlie, needed merely 30 minutes of my time to understand exactly what my husband and I were looking to experience in Thailand. There were so many "pinch me" moments to count.
