After settling in, join the group for a festive welcome evening of royal Thai cuisine and classical dance - a unique cultural experience in a richly decorated pavilion built in the traditional Northern Thai style.

    Sprawling across 11 verdant acres on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort offers guests a wonderful blend of urban comfort with tropical luxury.

    Day 2

    In today's entertaining "amazing race," discover Bangkok through locals' eyes by exploring a famous canal and completing various activities that you cannot usually do as a tourist. Each challenge is designed to provide knowledge and insight into Thailand's unique culture - while having fun. Visit one of Bangkok's most famous temples, where another thrilling challenge awaits. Then gear up for the Temple and Craft Challenges. At race's end, transfer to the airport for a flight to Chiang Mai. Tonight, kids enjoy a movie night while parents get a romantic night out.

Have the chance to interact with exotic animals like giraffes and tigers, and to see some other fascinating wildlife close up. A perfect family evening in Chiang Mai!

This canoe trip was initiated by a group of local villagers interested in sharing and preserving their special environment. The rest of today is free at your leisure.

FAQ

Who will meet me on arrival?

Our MT Sobek representative at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International Airport.

Do I need a visa for Thailand?

No. American citizens do not need a visa for Thailand but must have 6-months validity on their passports.

Is the beach at Angsana Laguna a private beach?

No. All beaches in Thailand are public. Angsana Laguna is located on the white sandy beach of Bang Tao, shared only with other Laguna hotels.

Will my children be able to see animals during the safari and in Khao Sok National Park?

Yes, they will be able to see animals during the safari, as it is an open-air zoo. For Khao Sok, the probability is high, but because the animals are wild, it's never certain.

I'm concerned about safety. How many guides will accompany our trip?

On our family adventures with children ages 6 and up, we will have 1 guide per every 4 guests, which is twice as many as a normal MT Sobek trip!
