About the trip

This seven-night small-group tour with G Adventures starts in Bangkok where the city’s canals hint at a less hurried pace beneath the gleaming high-rises. Your Chief Experience Officer introduces you to the city before the group moves north to Chiang Mai, a city known for night markets and a relaxed charm that contrasts with the capital.

Beyond the cities, the trip takes you trekking among hilltribe villages where the pace slows further and the communities have customs distinct from the urban centres. A bamboo raft trip downstream offers a chance to rest tired legs before returning to Chiang Mai for a celebration night out. Accommodation varies from simple hotels to basic multi-share huts in the hills, ensuring the travel style stays close to local life.

The mix of local transport—train, bus, songthaew—and walking means there is little idle time, though plenty of space to enjoy the food and atmosphere of each spot. It’s a neatly balanced trip that suits travellers interested in culture, light trekking and the odd noodle soup for breakfast.
