Glamping at Hellfire Pass and floating hotel on the River Kwai: discover Thailand's diversity in a unique way - includes breakfast, flights and more
Experience Thailand in all its diversity: This special round trip first takes you to Bangkok - a fascinating city full of contrasts, where golden temples, floating markets and modern skyline coexist harmoniously. From there, your path leads to Kanchanaburi, a region full of natural wonders and eventful history. An exclusive glamping stay at the historic Hellfire Pass will immerse you in the atmosphere of this special place. Afterwards, another highlight awaits you: a stay in a floating hotel in the middle of the River Kwai - surrounded by jungle, silence and the impressive backdrop of the famous bridge on the River Kwai, which became world famous through the film of the same name.
Back in Bangkok, you can continue to explore the city on your own before continuing your journey to the tropical south. In Khao Lak you can enjoy relaxing days under palm trees, directly on a wide beach with turquoise blue water. Here, you will experience the serenity and warmth of Thailand in its purest form. This round trip combines culture, nature, history and relaxation in a particularly inspiring way - ideal for those who want to discover authentic Thailand.
