Over five days you move from Lanna temples and cloud-touched peaks to the flat, sunlit ponds and tree-lined avenues of Sukhothai Historical Park, arriving where stone Buddhas still hold the quiet of the first Thai capital.

Dress for temples
Carry a lightweight scarf or cover-up—temple entry requires shoulders and knees covered and shoes removed at many sites.
