Incredible Thailand and Laos by Train

Why stop with just Thailand? Southeast Asia is full of incredible destinations, and this epic two-week itinerary utilises rail travel to tackle Thailand and Laos in just one trip. We’ll start in Bangkok and explore the nearby ancient ruins of Sukhothai, a former Khmer city turned historical park. We’ll hop on a train to Chiang Mai for a street food and city sightseeing tour, as well as an authentic Thai cooking class. Then it’s time to hit the jungle for a night of glamping, preceded by elephant bathing, bamboo rafting and a jungle barbecue. After crossing the border into Laos we’ll go cruising down the Mekong River, trek to the spectacular Kuang Si Falls and kayak along the Nam Song River. Then it’s time to cross back into Thailand, taking the sleeper train to Bangkok, where you’ll round off your multi-country vacation with a walking tour and farewell dinner in the Thai capital.
