Dawn breaks over the Chao Phraya as long-tail boats cut through gold-glinting water and the city wakes around ornate spires. This 15-day, private itinerary threads Bangkok’s Grand Palace and Chinatown with the ruined glory of Sukhothai, the cool pines around Chiang Mai, tribal villages in the north, and then slips south to Koh Samui’s sand and surf. Along the way rivers dare you to follow them—Mekong currents pushing borders and histories into view—while elephants at sanctuaries shrug off dust and splash into watering holes.
