The huge diversity of Thailand beckons: remote settlements on the Isan plains; 12th century Khmer temples in faraway settings that retain all their otherworldly beauty and tranquil atmosphere; the culture-rich city of Chiang Mai and the Khao Yai National Park, home to wild elephants, gibbons and fabulous birds. 

Experts meet guests along the way and bring each of these destinations to life. Meet the elders of a small Isan village and discuss aspects of their daily lives. At Gran Monte vineyard Thailand’s first female oenologist, Nikki Visootha Lohitnavy, introduces this family-run estate and presents a selection of her wines.

But this land voyage around Thailand is about much more than looking and learning. It also invites guests to join in and to try something new. There is the opportunity to participate in a Bai Sii (sacred thread) ceremony or to tour the town of Lampang wild-west style in a traditional pony trap.  
 
This exceptional Thailand train journey is also an opportunity to gain unique insights from local people. Let farmers escort you around rice paddy fields and discover the complex system of labour that goes into producing a single crop. Beyond the distant temple of Prasat Sikhoraphum is a village of silk weavers who will explain the intricacies of their ancient craft.
