The following morning, delve into Thai spirituality at Wat Pho, where a resident monk will bestow a blessing to ensure future good health and fortune. Afterward, visit the Grand Palace, home of Thailand’s revered Royal Family.

Discover Bangkok’s art and culture with a boat ride along the Chao Phraya River’s ancient canals before your visit to Wat Arun, the “Temple of Dawn.” You will also visit Ayutthaya, the former Siamese capital. Explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Wat Yai Chai Mongkol, Wat Phra Sri Sanphet and Wat Mahathat. Enjoy a private lunchtime cruise aboard the traditional Thai rice barge, Thanatharee, on the Chao Phraya River. This journey promises a blend of culture, history and luxury in the heart of Thailand.

It’s time to fly to Chiang Rai and check into the Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort, overlooking the Myanmar and Laos border. Let your spirit of adventure guide you as you explore the ruins of lost cities claimed by the jungle or share a moment of hushed silence in an incense-filled temple.

The Elephant Camp experience may be your most memorable of the trip. Spend one night in a transparent Jungle Bubble nestled above the forest, offering uninterrupted views of majestic elephants and starlit skies. These well-appointed bubbles are air-conditioned and equipped with a King bed, stocked minibar and coffee facilities, providing an unforgettable nature encounter.

Fly to Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon and enjoy a three-night stay at the luxurious Park Hyatt. Delve into Vietnam’s history with visits to significant sites from the Vietnam War era, including the former CIA building and the Reunification Palace turned museum. Explore a memorial for Thich Quang Duc and a former Viet Cong hideout, now a museum with hidden tunnels.

In the evening, experience an opulent two-hour sunset cruise along the Saigon River on a luxury yacht. Disembark at a private urban sanctuary and savor a Chef’s Table dining experience at Mia Saigon, complete with attentive chefs and a dedicated service team.

The next morning, journey along the Saigon River by premium speedboat to the Củ Chi tunnels, a fascinating underground network used by the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War. In the evening, attend a performance at the historic Opera House, showcasing Vietnam’s culture through contemporary choreography and traditional music. Your day will conclude at Chill Skybar on the 26th floor of the AB Tower for a Five-star dining experience and world-class cocktails.
