This is a city of many faces, from the aboriginal village on Carey Island to the sweeping 360° views from one of the world’s highest towers. It’s hard to know where to begin. Some sights are hard to miss – the soaring KL Tower and Petronas Twin Towers, for instance. Others are less apparent but every bit as fascinating. The British colonial buildings of Merdeka Square and the Royal Selangor Club. Like a crazy quilt, somehow it all blends together in a harmonious whole that is a thrill to explore.

Disembark / Phuket Old Town/ Flight to Chiang Mai
Arrive:
Depart:
Watersports Platform: 
Start the day with a pick-up from the port and head to Phuket Old Town. This historic area is rich in cultural heritage, with streets like Thanon Klang, Thanon Dibuk, and Soi Romanee, once home to settlers from China, India, Europe, and the Muslim world. These early settlers brought their distinct architectural styles, creating the iconic ‘Sino-European’ buildings that remain today. During the reign of King Rama IV, Phuket's tin mining industry flourished, and while the mines are now preserved as museums, the area has since transformed into a vibrant hub of accommodations, dining spaces, and souvenir shops. For lunch, consider dining at One Chan or Tu Kub Kao. At noon, transfer from Old Phuket Town to Phuket International Airport for your flight to Chiang Mai (FD3165, 15:25-17:25). Upon arrival in Chiang Mai, head to the Chiang Mai Cultural Center for a traditional Khantoke Dinner at the Old Chiangmai Cultural Center. Here, you'll experience Northern Thai culture with a delicious meal that includes 9 dishes like Hang Ley Curry, Laab Kua, Deep-fried Crispy Chicken, and Sticky Rice, all served on a traditional Khantoke tray. The dinner is accompanied by a lively Fon Ram dance performance, offering a glimpse into the unique local traditions. After the show, transfer to your 5-star Chiang Mai hotel for check-in and enjoy an overnight stay.

After breakfast, depart for Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, the most important temple in Chiang Mai.

Mae Sa Elephant Sanctuary/ Wat Suan Dok/ Wat Phra Sing
Arrive:
Depart:
Watersports Platform: 
Visit the Mae Sa Elephant Sanctuary, formerly known as the Thai Elephant Care Center and renamed The Chang Chiang Mai in November 2019. The sanctuary is home to 14 elephants, mostly elderly, with a few younger ones, offering a half-day activity for visitors to learn about elephant conservation. Afterward, enjoy lunch at the Orchid Farm, located in the Mae Rim district, which is home to a cluster of four orchid and butterfly farms. Among these, Sai Nam Phueng Farm is Chiang Mai’s largest orchid farm, while the other farms—Mae Rim Orchid, Suan Bua Mae Sa, and Bai Orchid & Butterfly—offer unique vibes and beautiful settings. In the afternoon, visit Wat Suan Dok, also known as the Flower Garden Temple, located west of old Chiang Mai. The temple is famous for its small white chedis that house the ashes of many members of the Chiang Mai Royal Family, with the largest chedi housing a Buddhist relic. Founded in 1371, the temple has a rich history linked to the legendary monk Sumana Thera, who brought a holy relic to Chiang Mai. Part of the relic was enshrined at Wat Suan Dok, while another part was placed at Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. Next, explore Wat Phra Sing, built in 1345 on Sam Lan Road. This revered temple is home to Phra Phuttha Sihing, a Chiang Sean-style Buddha statue, enshrined in the beautifully crafted Vihan Lai Kham. During the Songkran festival in April, the statue is paraded around the town, where locals bath it with scented water for good luck. Afterward, enjoy dinner on your own, and then stay overnight at your Chiang Mai hotel.
