- Length
- 7 days / 6 nights
- Pace
- Balanced
- Best for
- food lovers, culture travellers
Nights at each stop
Why this journey works
Bangkok and Chiang Mai cook differently, and a week split between them lets the food tell you where you are. Leaving out the beach keeps the trip to one internal flight and gives each city three unhurried days.
- Who it suits
- Designed for travellers who want neighbourhoods, markets and regional food to shape the itinerary.
- Probably not for
- Travellers who want only headline attractions and minimal local-food exploration.
