Buddhist temples. Burmese historical landmarks. Elephant sanctuaries. Markets. Thai Food. Thai People. Endless islands. Turquoise water. Just a few of the gems of Thailand.
Sawadee ka! Join me as I travel north to Chiang Mai where I visit an elephant sanctuary and some of the oldest temples in all of Thailand. The journey continues to Southern Thailand where limestone giants rise from the Andaman Sea and the ocean extends forever.
Thailand. The Land of Smiles and for this young traveler, The Land of Endless Treasures. April 2016

After a ten hour flight from Seattle on Korean Airlines, we made my way to customs. Be sure to ask Adventure Life for a quick-pass through customs as the queue is about two hours. We grabbed our bags, cleared security and found our guide eagerly awaiting our arrival. Typically, traffic in Bangkok, a city of ten million, is bumper to bumper but arrival into Thailand at 11pm and exiting the airport around 1:30 am allowed us to quickly navigate the desolate streets. Our hotel was perched on the banks of the Chao Phraya River which flows to the Gulf of Thailand and then onto the Indian Ocean. Riva Surya is a beautiful hotel perfect for our first night in Bangkok.
Our team is waiting and ready to talk with you about your next adventure.
So go ahead and book an appointment with one of our specialized trip planners.
Adventure Life goes above and beyond to make your trip unforgettable and easy! They do all the work ahead of time, so when you arrive at your destination you can just sit back and enjoy your vacation! I will never use anyone else but Adventure Life for all my travel excursions in the future. 5 star company and representatives!

Adventure Life is my trusted travel partner for myself and my family for the last 15 years. They have the ability to plan an amazing trip within your budget range, whether that is budget/family, glam/hiking, or upscale boutique. They really get to know you and your group and work very hard to give you a wonderful experience with companies that are local to the area that you are visiting. Highly recommended!

They make planning a trip so easy. You tell them what you want to see and do and they will make it happen. Have used them for a cruise and a land tour. They are great!

Everything was seamless, from pre guide until I returned home. Knowledgeable local guides were invaluable. We felt pampered the whole time
