Itinerary
Day 1 Bangkok
When you arrive at Bangkok airport, you will be welcomed by our airport representative. Then, transfer you to your hotel for check-in. In the evening, a private chafew driver will pick you up at the hotel for a luxury rice barge journey and 2-hour dinner cruise along the Chao Phraya River. See the sights of Bangkok from the water as you enjoy a 5-star dining experience on the only original antique teakwood rice barge on the river in Bangkok.
Drifting along the Chao Phraya River, you will admire such magnificent landmarks as the Temple of Dawn, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the Grand Palace, and the display of the royal barges. You will also see some of the oldest buildings in Bangkok, including some dating to the earliest Portuguese settlements in the capital.

After breakfast, you will go on a half-day Bang Krachao (Bangkok's Lungs) and Rickshaw tour. Your driver will wait for you at the reception of the hotel to escort you to the starting point of the tour. Your first stop is a local neighbourhood temple. This Buddhist site offers a glimpse of the typical spiritual practises of many Thai residents. Take a taxi boat across the Chao Phraya River, and you’ll head into what appears to be a virtual jungle of fruit trees bearing tasty-looking coconut, mango, and papaya. It’s a strange sight to find in what is known as one of the world’s biggest cities. Just nearby, you’ll visit a beautifully manicured park, offering a chance to take a break and feed the fish in the pond.
Continue your Bangkok excursion aboard a "samlor" (Thai rickshaw), stopping by a historic temple before dropping you off at a local restaurant for lunch. Enjoy a tasty Thai-style meal with a view before transferring by public river taxi boat back to Bangkok’s more modern surroundings and to your original starting point. Upon arriving at the Bangkok Pier, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel.

Can you book my international airfares?
On some Islands Holiday Packages (e.g. Fiji), it is practical to include flights, so where we have done this it is indicated by the plane icon.
However, on the majority of our Holiday Packages, we do not include international flights.
We found that many customers may prefer to:
- Travel on a specific airline of their choice
- Have the flexibility to book flights with Frequent Flyer points
- Select flight dates that may be different to our Holiday Package start/end dates
- Use a Travel Credit already held with the airline
- Use their travel agent for this service
We are able to assist with flights on any Holiday Package, so please just notify us during the Book Now process or contact our team.
Should I take travel insurance?
Travel insurance is strongly recommended. During the Book Now process please confirm you require assistance, and our team will be in contact with you.
What should I do before travelling?
Before you travel it is your responsibility to ensure you have the appropriate documentation including visas. If you are travelling on a passport other than Australian or New Zealand, you will require a permit to re-enter Australia. It is your responsibility as the traveller and/or travel booker to meet all government entry requirements.
