Are you ready for the trip of a lifetime? Travelling in an auto rickshaw will make you feel Bangkok, the hyperactive capital, buzz with life. Next step: the south of Thailand, which is even more charming… Bays, coves, bungalows on deserted beaches, clear water and colourful corals, underwater caves and rocks springing from the sea. Your journey to Thailand will allow you to experience the flavour of salty water, diving and blissful idleness.You will continue your journey north to Chiang Mai, where you will learn so much: there are so many cooking classes and massage courses to choose from. Later, you will take one of the most beautiful roads in the north, Chiang Maia Mae Hong Son, a journey brave travellers will take on two wheels. Between discovering misty, jungle-covered hillsides and villages nestled deep in splendid valleys: your stay in Thailand will be almost supernaturally beautiful.

Generally, a Bang Pa In visit is combined with a visit to Ayutthaya for a day. Bang Pa In is a Summer Palace and even though its history dates back several centuries, most of the current buildings date from the end of the 19th century. If I choose to visit the site on foot, it can be done in a golf cart for those of us who are lazy, since the palace is relatively large. So I discovered a mixture of several styles of buildings that seemed a little confusing to me: sometimes we came upon a completely wooden European-style building, and further along a sort of lighthouse that serves as a viewpoint on the site, which is very well maintained, and even further away, there's a building in the more pure Chinese-style.  For an unusual travel experience, go behind the palace. In order to go see the Wat Niwet Thamaprawattemple, you have to take a little cable car, which brings you to the island in the middle of the Chao Phraya River. Not only is this experience unique, but the temple itself has a surprise. Upon arriving, first we see a church, yet it's beautiful and a Buddhist temple, built as such by request of King Rama V.
