14-Day Northern Thailand Adventure Tour from Bangkok: Kanchanaburi, Erawan Waterfalls, Ayutthaya, Chiang Mai and Pai**Meals and Entrance Mentioned Included**

Bangkok baby, your adventure begins! You've made it into the hustle and bustle of city life! We'll meet you at the airport before taking you to our hotel. Sit back and relax, you're finally here. You'll have the first day to settle in and relax, meet your TruFam, and go explore the local area, whatever you fancy. In the evening, it's time for our welcome dinner at one of our favourite restaurants on the one & only Khao San Road! Get to know your fellow travellers and begin to break the ice with a few iconic Would You Rather? questions - toe for fingers or fingers for toes...you go first!

City - tick, floating markets - tick...now it's time to visit some waterfalls! Erawan Falls are just an hour away from Kanchanaburi is pretty much paradise. Imagine a 7-tier, crystal clear blue waterfall surrounded by lush greenery, sounds unreal right? We know TLC said don't go chasing waterfalls but ya know, I think we can be excused with this once. Make sure you have your swimmers as you'll want to take a dip. Don't say we don't spoil ya! We'll have some lunch at the waterfalls then we head back to Kanchanaburi, where you can either chill by the pool or explore the town before we meet for dinner and maybe a few drinks...

Today you have the morning free before we hit the road again! So choose to spend this morning how you please, whether that's by the pool or exploring the town. Next, we are off to Ayutthaya, an ancient capital city, if you're looking to see culture & history, then you're in the right place! We'll hop on some bikes and cycle around the world heritage site, 10/10 views, we'll also learn about the fascinating history of Ayutthaya and of course, the kingdom of Siam which is what Thailand used to be called! Then it's time to grab a bite to eat and board the night train to Chiang Mai! The train is comfortable, you get your own bed with pillows and covers, comfort is key! So it shouldn't be too hard to get a decent night's sleep ready to take on a new place in the morning! Chiang Mai, we're coming for you.

Did someone say TruExclusive? Hell yeah, we did! You won't find this experience anywhere else. If you're looking for an authentic Thai experience, THIS IS IT. We are off to do one of the most awesome activities in Northern Thailand, a trek through the jungle. The trek doesn't require a high level of fitness, but it is a bit of a challenge SO beers will be very well-deserved afterwards! We'll spend one night in a hill tribe village homestay so that you can experience what life is like for the many traditional hill tribes of Northern Thailand. Fall asleep to the sound of local wildlife, an experience in itself.
Note: This trek does not require a high level of fitness but is a bit of a challenge, so you’ll definitely have earned the next few beers we crack open when we get back to Chiang Mai!

It's time to get your adrenaline pumping as we head to the jungle to spend the morning zip-lining! Fly from platform to platform through the canopy of the jungle up to 50m above the ground, throw in some rope bridges and a few abseils. You'll experience the jungle in an entirely different (and much faster) way than walking through it at ground level. This is truly an unforgettable experience! *Just don't look down!*

Day trippin' time! Today we'll head out to see some of Pai's highlights, and its surrounding areas! Starting at the biggest cave in Thailand, Lod Cave, we'll hike through the main chambers and then take a bamboo raft along the river which runs through the cave (depending on season and accessibility). It's like something out of a movie, incredible stuff! It's now time to give your muscles a break, as we head to the hot springs which are situated in the jungle and are heated by geothermal activity. Take a dip in the crystal clear water, treat yourself to a clay mask and just have the ultimate relaxation session in the warm temperatures. We'll then head to the waterfall nearby with an amazing view! Who needs a waterpark when we have one better, a waterfall with a natural slide? We'll finish this incredible day at Pai Canyon which means even more amazing views of the surrounding mountains and jungle, and even better, we'll be there at sunset! So get your pics and take in the insane view before heading back to Pai town. In the evening we'll head to a nice restaurant and a few chilled bars where we can mingle with other backpackers too. After all, we deserve it after the day of sightseeing we've done!

Today is the day your Northern Adventure comes to an end (We know, we are sad too)! You'll be leaving with some unforgettable memories and of course, your TruFam aka friends for life! If you are continuing your adventure, then our TruNinjas will be more than happy to help with any onward travel! If you have a little longer to spend travelling and exploring then check out our Vietnam explorer or if you'd like to carry on in Thailand, then why not head south on our Thailand Experience? It's been real, TruFam!
