In Bangkok we stay in a beautiful 5-star riverfront hotel. Located on the legendary “River of Kings”, you will enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River in a warm, contemporary and relaxed environment. This hotel features salt water and fresh water swimming pools, a beautiful spa, and complimentary internet access in the common areas.
Days 4-5:
We’ll spend the next two nights of our Thai culinary tour at a delightful resort overlooking the Mae Kok River. An exquisitely relaxing place to wind down, the resort features a swimming pool, spa, herb and fruit gardens, as well as a restaurant and bar. There are 36 rooms, each with TV, air-conditioning and a balcony, and many with gardens as well, allowing you to enjoy both panoramic views of the river and valley, and the resort gardens.
Days 6-9:
In Chiang Mai we stay at a small boutique Thai hotel whose architectural style is inspired by traditional wooden homes found in Chiang Mai. Our hotel is located in a heritage zone that is home to the city’s greatest concentration of antique wooden buildings, yet is within walking distance of the commercial center of Chiang Mai and the famous Night Bazaar. With just 30 beautiful Thai-style rooms, the hotel offers a restaurant, lounge, swimming pool, spa and fitness room. All rooms have an in-room safe, hair dryer and flat-screen TV.
