accommodations page).

We will greet you at your hotel in Bangkok around 8:30 AM then travel by long

the river. . During the long-tail boat ride to market, you’ll pass orchards,
traditional teak houses and local people going about their lives. We then visit

Royal grand Palace
Here is a short 10 minute video of us visiting the Royal Grand Palace grounds and Wat Po in bangkok
Thailand and see the Emerald and Reclining Buddhas. We then take a private long tail boat through the
canals of Thonburi to see how people live on the water.
Day 3:
This morning we depart Bangkok at 8 AM for the floating market of Damnoen
Saduak . Totally chaotic, small 'khlongs' or canals are filled with flat boats
piled high with fresh produce, each jockeying for position and paddled by ladies
ready to stop and bargain at a moment’s notice. It's colorful, noisy,
touristy but great fun. We then travel to the Rose Garden for a buffet lunch
with both Thai and western food. Then see a Thai cultural show. The show features
separate local dances from different regions. Some of the dances are performed
with Klong Yaw (long drum). In some shows, dancers wear nail extension and dance
gently and slowly. Some shows feature dancers decorated with peacock feathers.
It is all very colorful, and there is a meaning for everything. These dances
have been used for celebrations in many regions of Thailand. The most entertaining
show, or my favorite show, is the demonstration of Thai Boxing . Another exciting
show is the sword-fight from during the war. Did you know that the ancient Thais
fought with two swords in their hands. Return to your hotel (B,L)

Floating Market
Day 4
This morning we board our Thai Airways flight to Chiang Mai and check into you’re
your hotel (see
accommodations page). Spend the afternoon relaxing then at 6 PM we will meet you at your
hotel or resort and travel to the Chiang Mai Night Safari. The entrance to Chiang
Mai Night Safari features the Lanna village; a collection of impressive buildings
of an Afro-Lanna fusion of architectural styles that house souvenir and handicraft
shops: a food court, a photo-corner where visitors can have their picture taken
with either a baby lion, tiger or bear-and this area boasts the country's only "Fun
Plaza - an airy terrace from where the delighted squeals of children can
be heard as they run around in an attempt to avoid jets of water shooting upward
at intervals from hidden spouts in the ground. The park has three animal
zones:
the Jaguar Trail, which is a walking trail, the Savanna Safari Zone, where
animals from the African savanna can be seen close-up at night from a 60-seater
electric
tram-or mini-train as it purrs past the more than 300 herbivores or plant
eating animals, such as Giraffes, Gorals, Wildebeests, Rhinoceroses, yaks and
many
others. The Predator Prowl Zone, again from a 60-seater electric tram-or
mini-train, is the carnivorous animal zone where the hairs on the back of your
neck tend
to rise. As your tram carries you, in total safety, within yards of some
of the world's most ferocious creatures you can't help but feel the power, majesty
and grace of such animals as lions, tigers, Asiatic Black bears, crocodiles,
African hunting dogs, and the elegant impala. Return to your hotel or resort.
Here is a video of the Chiang Mai Night Safari. We went early to see some of the animals before dark on
the Jackel Trail around the Lake. We then visited the resort there and checked out some of the rooms and b
ungalows. We took the Tram on the night trails then watched the Lazer Lighted Fountain Show. I ran out of
memory or I would have shot more video.
Day 5
This morning after breakfast we will visit an elephant camp to see the elephant show. and a 30 minute elephant ride.
We then travel to Huay Teung Tao where we will have a barbeque lunch with Papaya salad on the beach in the shade.
You will have time for swimming and relaxing before we return to the city and your hotel or resort.
Tonight you will enjoy a traditional Khantoke dinner with Thai music and dance. Many believe this north Thailand
dinner with music and dance was invented for tourists, but the Khantoke dinner dates back many centuries.
Locals celebrate festivals and holidays in their homes with the Khantoke dinner today. Return to your hotel or resort. (B,L,D)
There are many things for families with children to do in Chiang Mai Thailand. Here is a streaming video of our clients
and their children visiting an elephant camp, Huai Tung Tao lake, Chiang Mai Zoo and the weekend walking market in Chiang Mai Thailand.
When you come to Chiang Mai you should take in a Khantoke Dinner and show.
This is not just for tourists as the Northern Thai people have been enjoying the Khantoke Dinner for centuries.
Here is a short 6 minute video of the Khantoke dinner with my wife and friends.

This beautiful temple overlooks the city of Chiang Mai. Here is a video
with my friends visiting the temple.
Visit the Chiang Mai Zoo with us as we see the Giant Panda, Aviary, Lions,
white tiger and many other animals and travel in the new monorail.
I took this video just after the new Chiang Mai Aquarium opened in December 2008. The Sea water tank was a little murky and
many of the salt water fish have yet to be introduced to the large tank. I was told that now the water is clear and many more
species of fish have been added. Anyway this should give you a good idea on how nice the aquarium is. I spent several hours
there and loved it. A great place to take your family when you visit Chiang Mai.
Day 7
This morning we visit the handicraft factories, which have been an important part of Chiang Mai culture for hundreds of years.
We then transfer you to the airport in time for your afternoon flight to Phuket and transfer to your hotel or resort. The afternoon

The one day trip takes us through caves to breathtaking lagoons inside several islands. We also enjoy a wonderful

End Tour, This is a private tour.
Email from The Drummond Family who toured with us in November 2009.
We are finally getting around to sending some long over due pictures and
feedback.
We had an amazing trip and have already recommended All Thailand Experiences
to several of our friends here. I think the highlight of our trip was the
hike through the national park; the views were breathtaking.
The guides and drivers were so friendly, patient and helpful. They taught us so much about the Thai culture
and shared their lives with us. It was a very special experience. It seemed
they were always doing thoughtful things ...finding great local food from
vendors and amazing local lunch spots by rivers. We really appreciated the
vans always being stocked with water and snacks - that was a huge help with
kids in tow. The arranged Thai massage in our hotel was a relaxing way to
close out our trip as well. Our kids are still talking about riding the
elephant and eating frogs.
The accommodations were great. The one in Bangkok was incredibly nice and
the breakfast buffet was delicious with all the variety they offered. We
liked the Chiang Mai hotel and the breakfast as well. We would have liked to
have more within walking distance, but the quiet setting made up for it.
Overall, we found Thailand beautiful inside and out. We are still practicing
Thai cooking at home - it just doesn't taste the same though. We miss all of
the fresh ingredients.
Thanks again for helping us make this trip possible.
