The most sacred temple in northern Thailand is Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, and it is believed to contain a relic of the Lord Buddha. Head to the outskirts of the city with your private guide to visit this mountain-top temple compound, located 3,500 feet above the city below. Breathtaking views of Chiang Mai and the surrounding countryside are the reward for the 308-step staircase to Doi Suthep, or you may choose to access the grounds via a small cable car. Listen to the chants of the monks, drink in the atmosphere, and immerse yourself in the spirituality of this revered temple complex. Mingle with the pilgrims from across Thailand and discover pagodas and statues devoted to Buddhism with Hindu influences. Learn more about Buddhism and its impact on the culture and daily life of the Thai people.
Please note: Temples in Thailand often have a dress code (albeit loose). Visitors must dress "appropriately" - in this case, shoulders must be covered, no shorts, and shoes are to be removed upon entering the temple.

For classic local dishes, try Khao Soi Lung Prakit Kad Kom or Huen Muan Jai, both famous for their rich khao soi and Lanna-style specialties.

For beautiful garden surroundings, Chom CafÉ and Restaurant and Bodhi Terrace are ideal. For a sophisticated evening, BAAN LANDAI or The Service 1921 at 137 Pillars House provide fine dining with exceptional ambiance.

LUANG PRABANG
Explore with an Expert
Meet your guide at your hotel and set off to explore the historic and charming heritage of Luang Prabang. Travel by car to begin your journey at the most popular of temples – Wat Xieng Thong. This 500-year-old temple serves as the best example of the classic Luang Prabang style. You will also visit nearby Wat Mai and Wat Sene, affecting Buddhist temples. From here, explore local and interesting side streets, passing through back alleys and temples in a city that seems to have been designed with slow travel in mind. This morning walk allows you to soak up the ambiance and appreciate the hidden charms of Luang Prabang while your guide chats with you and locals, asking and answering questions of interest as you wind through the town. Continue wandering the peninsula, stopping at temples and other sites as you wish. Be sure to visit the National Museum, the former Royal Palace. Relics from Laos’ royalist past remain here and should not be missed on your visit. Overlooking the palace is Phousi Mountain; it is said that those who do not climb the 328 steps up have not really made it to the city. If you are able and inclined, venture up the hill to be rewarded with remarkable views of the region. But save some energy – the day is just beginning. Next, you’ll travel south to the Kuang Si Waterfall by Tuk Tuk, stopping along the way to visit the Living Crafts Center, a place where you will see how textiles are made and meet weavers who keep these traditions alive. At the falls, crystal waters cascade into idyllic turquoise pools; a bathing suit is highly recommended as few find places as idyllic to take a dip. Also take time to visit the nearby Sunbear Refuge to learn about poaching. It is frustrating, but here you’ll learn how the hunting of these endangered creatures threatens their very existence. On the way back to the town, stop to visit the Buffalo Dairy Farm, known for their sustainable approach to local farming. An excellent way to finish your day and more than family-oriented fun, it is an educational experience. After a hands-on tour of the farms that will surely result in stories to bring home, relax in the cafÉ and enjoy the cake of the day served with ice cream and tea or coffee before heading back to your hotel.

In the early morning, meet your guide and driver and head towards Hoan Kiem Lake. In Vietnam, many locals wake up early and start the morning with exercise; it is very interesting to see how locals, mostly women from varying age, start their busy routine. Several groups of people can be found practicing tai chi and aerobics. Whether you choose to watch or participate, it is always interesting. After visiting the Ngoc Son Temple, located in the middle of the Hoan Kiem Lake, you’ll head to a traditional and charming coffee house, where you will be able to try Vietnam’s local coffee: CÀ phÊ sữa đÁ (iced coffee) and if you feel more adventurous, you can also try egg coffee.

Vietnam’s first university was established within this temple to educate Vietnam's royalty, mandarins and members of the elite. The university functioned for 700 years and its gardens and well-preserved architecture offer a fascinating glimpse into Vietnam’s past. The last stop of the day will be the Hanoi railway tracks. Together with your guide, you will walk along the railway tracks and take some of the most beautiful pictures of the city. After a long day, cap off the evening beers at a typical and well-known Bia Hoi, finishing the day just as a local would! Along the tour you will sample different street specialties, therefore it is recommended to forgo breakfast at the hotel, or to have only a small meal.

HOI AN
It’s All Ancient History
The ancient town of Hoi An and the elaborate temple complex of My Son in the neighboring countryside are an ideal pairing of two diverse UNESCO World Heritage sites. Start the day in the Hoi An’s historic center. A former fishing village set on the banks of the Thu Bon River and a strategic trading port for Southeast Asia, centuries of Chinese and Japanese influence have left their unique mark on this town. The streets of the old town are very narrow, so cars are not permitted in the historical center. There’s plenty to see in this delightful town, including Japanese Covered Bridges, the Pottery Museum, the 200-year-old Tan Ky House, Chua Ong Pagoda and the vibrant local market. You will visit them all during this experience. After lunch at a local restaurant, you will be driven to My Son Sanctuary. My Son is Vietnam’s most important and iconic Cham site, and a must-see during your time in Vietnam. An hour and a half outside of Hoi An, spend the afternoon exploring the Hindu ruins dedicated to Shiva. Regarded as one of the foremost important Hindu temple complexes in Southeast Asia, My Son is widely considered to be the Champa civilization’s counterpart to the grand temple complexes on Indian influenced civilizations such as Angkor in Cambodia, Ayutthaya in Thailand, and Borobudur in Indonesia. Heavy carpet bombing during the Vietnam War destroyed some of its former grandeur, but many of the temple sites in the complex have survived. Later in the day you’ll return to Hoi An town by boat, and upon arrival will be left at leisure to relax and discover this beautiful town on your own.
