  • 10 Days
  • Cultural Touring

Delectable food, shining beaches, and rich culture make any trip to Thailand a luscious experience. This "grand tour" spans the country from the Golden Triangle with Laos and Myanmar to the world-famous southern beaches of Phuket, beginning and ending in the lively capital of Bangkok.

Slow down and soak in 1,000 years of history in the land's ancient capitals and contemplate revered Buddhas which serve as the spiritual anchors of this devout nation.  From handicraft shopping in remote ethnic villages to the translucent waters of Phang Nga Bay, this journey delivers memory-making moments for which Snow Lion is known.

Finally, our transportation is as exotic as the landscape, with elephants, long tail boats, bamboo rafts and luxurious teak junks revealing sublime discoveries around every bend.
