Chiang Mai & the Golden Triangle to Tropical Island Beaches
Bike an oxcart path among lush rice paddies. Admire an ornate Buddhist temple in a jungle-filled valley. Relish a homemade curry and marvel at jagged limestone hills. Top it off with tropical beaches and a day kayaking in Phang Nha National Park. Welcome to Thailand, where the only thing more impressive than the bustling market towns, towering cliffs and timeless villages is how perfectly at home you and your family feel, immersed in the beauty of it all.
Highlights
- Experience a traditional blessing from a local elder, a ritual for travelers who have arrived from faraway locales
- Delve into Thailand's intriguing cultural roots and connect with our local friends—they're happy to share stories with you
- Bike with your family from temple to temple along stunning backcountry lanes, where village children rush out to greet you
- Kayak crystalline waters beneath limestone karsts in the tropical wonderland of Phang Nha Bay National Park

We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
Throughout the trip we've selected hotels that, in addition to being both comfortable and authentic, allow us to provide you with an itinerary that flows naturally and with purpose, becoming a genuine travel experience and not simply a collection of sightseeing events. The Maekok River Village Resort, a Casual Hotel, is our home for one night. Although it offers simpler guest rooms than the other hotels on this trip, it is by far the nicest lodging in the area and has been selected because of its access to the best riding in the region.
