Itinerary

Day 1
Bangkok
The day begins in Bangkok, where the journey starts with an arrival in the bustling city. The morning is spent settling into the 4-star hotel, providing a chance to relax and unwind after the journey. Guests can take advantage of the hotel's amenities, perhaps enjoying a leisurely breakfast or a refreshing swim in the pool. As the afternoon unfolds, there is ample time to explore the hotel's surroundings or simply rest in the comfort of the room, preparing for the evening's activities. As the sun sets, an evening stroll along the Chao Phraya River offers a serene experience, with the gentle breeze and the shimmering lights of the city reflecting on the water. This peaceful walk provides a perfect opportunity to take in the sights and sounds of Bangkok's vibrant riverside. The night concludes back at the hotel, where guests can relax and reflect on the day's experiences, readying themselves for the adventures that await the next day.
