This was the trip that started it all for Intrepid, and it remains one of our most popular. Northern Thailand is one of the greatest adventure destinations on the planet and we make the most of it - amongst the hilltribes, on the rivers and in the villages. We think you will love this Intrepid favourite as much as others have.

Day 1 - 2: Bangkok. Between the chaotic city streets and serene canals, explore different parts of this lively capital.

Day 3: Kanchanburi. Visit the JEATH war museum and see the Bridge over the River Kwai before heading to Erawan National Park for a swim in the seven level waterfalls.

Days 4 - 5: Rice Barge Cruise. Laze on the deck of our award winning converted teak rice barge, pedal through the Thai countryside and enjoy the World Heritage-listed temples of Ayuthaya.

Days 6 -7: Chiang Mai. The temple of Doi Suthep provides an excellent view and a little exercise, while the night market is fun and a great place to get local food. Enjoy an elephant ride, take the chance to cool off in the river or indulge in a traditional Thai massage.

Day 8: Village homestay. Staying in a local home offers the chance to experience the quiet village life for a day, living as the locals do.

Days 9 - 11: Hilltribe Trek. Trekking for three days through remote hilltribe villages, experience the diversity of ethnic minority customs and traditions.

Days 12 - 13: Golden Triangle. Staying overnight in both Chiang Rai and the colourful border town of Mae Sai offers a great way to explore the infamous opium growing Golden Triangle. Check out the Opium Museum or experience a fastboat ride down the Mekong River.

Days 14 - 15: Bangkok. Another full day in Bangkok completes our exciting adventure, with many places like Chatuchak market still left to explore.
