Bangkok — Capella Bangkok, Temples at Dusk, and Thonburi by Longtail (3 nights)
Touch down in Bangkok and check into Capella Bangkok, set beside the Chao Phraya River—a calm, polished base for your first chapter.
Your first evening is built for atmosphere: explore during the city’s “magical hour,” when landmarks glow—taking in the Grand Palace and the floral details of Wat Arun, then drifting into the neon-and-lantern energy around Na Na and Chinatown for street bites and tucked-away garden bars.
Over the next two days, the city opens up through its waterways. Cruise the Canals of Thonburi by longtail, passing stilt houses and the porticos of Wat Suwan temple, then step off the boat to visit Baan Bu, a hand-hammered bronze-bowl workshop hidden down narrow lanes. Lunch lands somewhere unexpected: Poomjai Garden, a lush “rewilding Bangkok” oasis where you’ll dine between lychee orchards and the Bangkhuntien canal, tasting local dishes like sweet coconut dumplings wrapped in banana leaf.
Bangkok on the water—quiet canals, lantern light, and just the two of you
Chiang Rai — Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort (2 nights)
Next, fly north to Chiang Rai, where the landscape turns mountainous and the mood becomes slower, greener, and more secluded. Your stay is at Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort, set near the meeting point of the Mekong and Ruak rivers—complete with a spa, infinity pool, and plenty of downtime between experiences.
The signature moment here is unforced and deeply memorable: walking beside elephants as they move at their own pace through the jungle—bathing, socialising, and foraging—within a welfare-focused model supported by local partners and veterinary care. End the day with a cocktail at the Elephant Bar, then let the quiet do the rest.
Chiang Mai — Mae Rim Valley, Old Town Flavours, and Waterfall Days (3 nights)
From Chiang Rai, continue to Chiang Mai, basing yourselves in the Mae Rim Valley at Four Seasons Chiang Mai for three nights—balancing spa time with hands-on culture.
Explore the city by tuk-tuk through the old town, stopping at aromatic food markets for classic bites (think mango sticky rice and northern-style sausage), then weave in heritage sites like Wat Umong and the earthy remains of Wiang Kum Kam. Finish with the granite viewpoints of Doi Suthep, where the air feels cooler and the city stretches out below.
Your final day here shifts into nature: Mae Wang National Park for forested trails, tiered waterfalls, and a picnic beside a stream—then an unhurried river raft float that’s equal parts romance and reset. If your timing aligns and you want something seasonal, Chiang Mai’s cherry blossom window can be worked into the flow.
Phuket — Trisara, Phang Nga Bay Kayaks, and Glowing Sea Caves (4 nights)
For the finale, fly south to Phuket and check into Trisara, tucked into a secluded cove with sea views, ficus-shaded paths, and a feeling of blissful distance from the world.
Over four nights, you can go as active or as slow as you like—kayak, jet ski, or take a private yacht. The headline day is a private boat journey to Phang Nga Bay, where you’ll kayak closer to the limestone karsts and slip into hidden caves, blue lagoons, and mangrove corridors around Koh Panak and Koh Hong.
After sunset dinner on the water, the experience turns otherworldly: paddle into caves lit by natural phosphorescent plankton—glowing blue like scattered stars. For a playful adults-only night out, Junkyard Theatre brings cabaret energy with a sustainability twist. Your final day is pure choice: tennis, a ficus-inspired spa treatment, the private white-sand beach, or a slow dip in the 45-metre saltwater pool.
