Finish your adventure with a visit to the ancient capital of Ayutthaya, Bang Pa-In and the Summer Palace.

Kick off your three-day tour with a trip to the ancient capital of Ayutthaya, before an overnight stay at Khao Yai National Park. Korat comes next, with its 1,000-year-old Khmer hilltop temples. Then it's off to Surin near the Cambodian border. The final day delivers you to Ubon, home of the five-pagoda Khmer monument and Pha Taem's prehistoric paintings.

Head for the great outdoors and enjoy an exciting few days discovering Kanchanburi by houseboat. Visit the Bridge over the River Kwai, sail to Coconut Island, take a longtail boat up river to a Karen village, and cross the longest wooden bridge in Thailand. Along the way you can stop off to ride elephants, walk through the jungle, and do a little rafting, kayaking, and fishing.

The real outdoors person will jump at this excursion into the depths of Thailand's northern frontier. Rugged terrain won't stand in the way as you make your way along the Burmese border to hilltribe villages and venture by longtail boat/elephant-back/4WD-journey to caves and hot springs.
