After visiting the floating market in the morning, you’ll go to the wonderful Lumpini Park, right in the heart of Bangkok; a place loved by the local Thais. Your agreed programme may include running the 2.5 km track, cycling around the lakes, swimming in the lido, a game of tennis, or a work-out at the outdoor gym.

You’ll be shown how to strap up in preparation for your workout and will then be given instruction in the various kicks & punches, using your knees, elbows, fists and shins. You will not be fighting, but you will be pushed to the limit!
Day 8 for Best of Thailand programme
Our adventure begins with a visit to the highest peak in Thailand, Doi Inthanon. After a short visit to the summit, we take a three-hour walk through thick rainforest, hill tribe villages, rice paddies and jungle rivers, where your local guide will help you discover the secrets of Doi Inthanon.
Day 8 for Thailand Adventure programme
Today’s exhilarating mission takes us deep into the heart of the aptly named Adrenaline State Crisis Cave! Here you will learn the basics of Single Rope Technique, allowing you to build an anchor, descend into the cave safely, explore this beautiful cavern and get back out!
You will complete a full day’s journey of discovery into the countryside around Chiang Mai, along quiet country lanes, through small villages and past rice paddies. Along the way you’ll see much of the Thai way of life and you will return in late afternoon, with plenty of time for a traditional Thai massage before dinner.
