Today, you will journey out of Siem Reap to Lake Tonle Sap, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and home to Cambodia's floating villages. Your guide will take you on a fascinating private tour of one of the villages where you can explore the canals and mangroves by boat. In the evening, you will attend the renowned Cambodian circus, a unique, awe-inspiring performance showcasing the talents of the local people. This acrobatic theatre is not to be missed!

This morning, you will join a local chef for a fascinating street food exploration of Siem Reap. You will be guided through market warrens, roadside cafés and local homes on a wonderful discovery of Cambodia's cuisine. You will have the chance to try Cambodia's best breakfast dishes, tasty treats and tropical fruits. In the afternoon, you will have a private transfer to the airport in time for your flight to Chiang Mai, located in northern Thailand. Upon arrival in Chiang Mai, your guide will meet you and take you to your boutique hotel.

This morning, your guide will collect you for your private tour of the beautiful Mae Sa Valley. The tour includes visits to the Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden, a butterfly farm, and one of the local Hmong hill tribes.

In the late afternoon, your guide will collect you for a private evening tour of Bangkok, where you can explore the city's famous food stalls and markets and visit some of its most interesting night spots.

Today, you will have a half-day privately guided tour of Bangkok, visiting the capital's key attractions: the Grand Palace, Wat Po (home to the reclining Buddha) and Jim Thompson's house. You will get to use Bangkok's different forms of public transport — the Skytrain, which winds its way through the skyscrapers and shopping malls; the public taxi boat; a long-tail boat; and, of course, the infamous Thai tuk-tuk! This fun excursion will give you a fantastic insight into the capital and the people who call Bangkok home.

You will have an early start today for your private transfer to the airport to catch your internal flight to Phuket, a journey of around one and a half hours. Upon arrival at Phuket Airport, you will be met by staff from Elephant Hills, who will take you and other guests to the Khao Sok National Park. The Elephant Hills Camp is a fantastic rainforest and elephant experience. All meals are included during your stay as are a program of group tours. The welfare of the elephants is at the heart of this camp, and it has received numerous awards for this. Upon arrival at the camp you will meet the elephants and learn more about these magnificent creatures. You will have the opportunity to help prepare and feed them their lunch. After a traditional Thai lunch you will have the opportunity to take a jungle canoe down river paddling past stunning limestone karsts.

Today you will leave the tented camp with other guests and head inland by road and then by boat for your scenic journey to the relatively untouched and stunning Cheow Larn Lake. This is a great place to be among nature and experience a unique accommodation experience — a floating tent. Your afternoon includes a guided canoe safari.

After breakfast, you will have the option to join your guide on a walk through the jungle, listening to the chorus of the many primates, reptiles and birds that inhabit the national park. After lunch, the lodge will transfer you to the airport for your onward flight home.
