Day 1 - Welcome to Bangkok!
สวัสดีค่ะ Sawasdee ka!Welcome to Thailand! On arrival in Bangkok, your private guide will welcome you at the arrival hall and transfer you to your hotel with a private car and driver. Your guide will help you with luggage and hotel check-in and ensure your arrival is worry-free.
The rest of the day is arranged on your own. You may need some time to relax and recover from the long-distance flight or possibly from jet-lag. If you feel like going for a walk and checking out places nearby, feel free to ask your guide for recommendations for good dining or places to see.
Day 2 - Temples and City
Today’s tour starts at 9 AM. Firstly, your guide will take you to Grand Palace the nations' landmark and the most revered royal monuments. You will see the Palace that was used for different occasions as The Coronation Hall, Funeral Hall, and Royal Guest House and the mysterious famous Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), the most revered Buddha image in Thailand. Then visit Wat Pho, one of the oldest and largest temples in Bangkok. Lunch at local restaurants near the pier for well-known local cuisines. After lunch, cross the river by public ferry to visit Wat Arun on the opposite bank of the Chao Phraya River. After the whole visit, return to the hotel.
Asiatique is a nice place to chill out by yourself. It combined two of the most popular shopping experiences in the city: a night bazaar and a mall. Open from 17:00, spending an evening here is no problem: you’ll have good fun browsing the boutiques, picking up gifts or something for yourself; you are guaranteed to find something you would like to eat and if this isn’t enough entertainment, shows are performed nightly: Calypso ladyboy cabaret and soon, a classic Thai puppets performance.
Day 3 - Head to Kanchanaburi and Overnight in a Bamboo Floating Villa
Check out from your hotel this morning. You will depart for a 2-hour drive to the 100-year-old Damnoen Saduak Floating Market located 100 km (62 mi) from Bangkok, one of Thailand’s most famous attractions. Day-in and day-out from about 8 am to about 11 am, the Floating Market is routinely crowded with hundreds of vendors and purchasers floating in their small rowing boats selling and buying or exchanging their goods. You will have a chance to take a ride on a long tail boat to get the real sense of a floating village. After the long tail boat cruise around the village, you will stop at a transit point where you can choose to further explore the floating market by a 4-seat boat (at your own expense) or stroll around by the river's banks.
Your second stop is Kanchanaburi. On arrival, you will visit the world-famous bridge over the River Kwai. The bridge was part of the Death Railway and was destroyed in Allied bombing raids towards the end of World War II but later rebuilt by the Japanese as war reparations.
After enjoying your lunch at a riverside restaurant. You will continue to visit the JEATH War Museum. It is dedicated to the Allied prisoners of war(POWs) and Asian laborers who suffered and died during the construction period of River Kwai Bridge. And then you will visit the Don Rak War Cemetery to learn more about the history of the 6,982 Allied POWs who perished during the construction of the Death Railway. Finally, check-in at your hotel in Kanchanaburi.
Day 4 - Ayutthaya UNESCO World Heritage Site
This morning you will check out from the hotel and head to Ayuttaya, one of the UNESCO World Heritage lists of Thailand. On the way to Ayutthaya, you will visit the Bang-Pa-In Summer Palace, located 60 kilometers north of Bangkok, an impressive architectural blend of East and West dating back to the 17th century.
Continue to Ayutthaya, which was the capital of the Thai Kingdom for 417 years. The city was founded in 1350 by King U-Thong and in 1767 it was destroyed by the Burmese army. Stroll around the ruins of several ancient temples including Wat Phra Si Sanphet, a former royal temple during Ayutthaya's days of glory; Wat Mahathat, undoubtedly the landmark and most photographed objects of Ayutthaya, where the roots of a tree surround the head of a stone Buddha image; and if time allows, Wat Chai Wattanaram, a perfect example of Khmer architectural influence. These temples record the prosperity and decline of ancient Thailand. During the visit, your guide will take you to sample a notable local snack – Roti Sai Mai which is also referred to as 'Sweet Angel Hair'.
After the tour, check-in at Ayutthaya's hotel and spend the rest of the day at your leisure.
Wear something light and long when you visit palaces or temples. You’ll need to wear pants or a dress/skirt that extends well past your knees, and a top that fully covers your shoulders.
Day 5 - Monkey Temple & Sukhothai Historical Park
After breakfast at the hotel, check out and head for Lopburi in your private car. Today you will visit Monkey Temple, where you’ll have hilarious experience with cheeky monkeys. Continue to Wat San Phra Kan, the landmark of Lopburi city. Enjoy your lunch at a local restaurant before heading to Sukhothai. Upon arrival at Sukhothai, check-in and have a refreshment, later, you will continue to the awe-inspiring Sukhothai Historical Park, a big and quiet park with 193 ruins comprising the ruins of royal palaces, Buddhist temples, the city gates, walls, moats, and the water dike control system of ancient Sukhothai.
Day 6 - Chiang Mai and Doi Suthep
Today check out from the hotel, we will drive straight to Chiang Mai. Upon arrival at Chiang Mai, a relaxing drive takes you to the Doi Suthep Mountain. Climb 309 steps (or for the less fitness-oriented, a tram is available for a small surcharge) to the top, enjoying a truly breathtaking scenery all along the way up to the top where you will find Wat Phra That, one of Northern Thailand’s most sacred temples. Have a panoramic view of the city of Chiang Mai. Return to Chiang Mai city with lunch at a local restaurant en route. Check in to the hotel and have a good time on your own.
Chiang Mai is a shopping paradise, with its famous arts and crafts. Nothing beats shopping for a bargain more than in the famous Chiang Mai Night Bazaar. The Night Bazaar, on the east side of the old walled city, is approximately 1km long. This evening, you can explore the night bazaar and find all special handicrafts and souvenirs you need along the street, plus a heap of mobile food street stalls.
Day 7 - Close Encounter with Elephant
Elephant Nature Park is an elephant rescue and rehabilitation center in Northern Thailand where you can volunteer and visit to help (join-in group). This park does not use heavy chains, hooks or sticks to beat the elephants, nor do they use elephants for tricks such as painting, dancing or other unnatural behaviors. On arrival, join others and learn about the magnificent elephant, then you will have a chance to feed the elephants from the viewing platform. Walk with the elephants to the river that skirts the park. Bathe these gentle giants as they splash around. If going into the river is not for you then watch the elephants bathe and play while you stay dry on the river bank. After having your lunch, you will be transferred to an Orchid and Butterfly Farm, you can enjoy exotic butterfly and plant life year-round.

Loved the tour. I can feel a bit like a local going through back alleys and seeing how people live their lives. Seeing Wat Arun at morning was amazing. Floating market was very interesting. Our guide was really nice.
I must say this is one of the best experiences of my life. I really enjoyed Thailand. I booked a 7 Days Kanchanaburi, River Kwai & Ayutthaya Tour with UME travel and loved every minute of it. Seen so much in such little time, I would definitely consider a longer tour next time. Thai temples are amazing and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market was full of Thai special. Nice experience.
This was an incredible experience, every day was a new adventure. I absolutely loved this trip and would recommend it top anyone who is interested!
I did the 7 days Thailand, land of smiles trip and I could not be more happy with the trip! We visited the most breathtaking spots and had a small, family like group. Our guide took the time to get to know all of us an ensure we had access to all the best activities to fit our diverse personalities.
We were lucky enough to get a guide who was extremely knowledge about the area, she showed us all the highlights. We were concerned about doing ourselves, mainly due to our age and the uncertainty of getting from Bangkok and then trying to seeing all the sights.
Our guide made the whole experience really easy! Was really caring and willing to help you with anything and everything you needed. He went above and beyond.
Ben and Jon were epic leaders. Trip was amazing, can't wait to do another one!
The trip was amazing. All that had to be done is sit back and relax and enjoy the trip. Ben and John were awesome. Always had an answer for the million questions.
Great experience loved travelling Thailand , the activities were amazing but the accomodations and weather were way under expectation.
Ume travel is unlike other travel companies.. You are not a tourist. You are a traveler. This trip went above and beyond my expectations and was worth every single penny.
Guides were awesome and loads of fun! Did some awesome activities, and they gave us lots of options! You do whatever you feel like doing. Would definitely recommend this trip to check out Thailand and have a good time :)
Amazing, travel days kept to a minimum, guides were excellent, had such positive attitudes, the company itself was very accommodating, places we stayed were all great, the connections with locals and all places we went were awesome, would definitely travel with ume travel again
I had the most amazing experience with ume travel! I was skeptical going into the tour because of the price, but would do it again in a heartbeat. I had no idea what to expect because the itinerary was quite vague, but ended up being pleasantly surprised day after day. I fell in love with the country and I am DEFINITELY going to recommend ume travel to friends and family back home.
Nichapa was unable to take us for the tour but sent us an excellent guide - Sam. He was patient, obliging and caring. Excellent tour, marvelous guides.
Sam took us through 7 days in middle Thailand. It was an enjoyable and cultural experience. The floating market in Bangkok is quite fascinating, its full of colorful boats filled with food items. Highly recommend this tour as your choice and have already recommend our friends to take his tour.
We book our Thailand tour with this company to Bangkok, Kanchanaburi and Hua Hin and Ayutthaya and summer palace. i think it cheap and good value. We had a great time with our tour guide, Sam. He had tons of great information and did a great job with the logistics and making sure everything went smooth.
Eva accepts customization of my tour through email which is perfect for me as I don't want to waste my time for some place I am not interested. In additional to that, we are really impress with Sam’s (our local guide) patience with us who are always busy taking photos and took good care of us throughout.
Thank you our local guide for taking good care of us and make our trip in Thailand enjoyable.
UME offered an amazing tour from Bangkok, Kanchanaburi to Hua Hin for a very fair price including good resorts. Sam is a very good tour guide, which is very important especially in Kanchanaburi! If you have more time and wanna do the same tour, we highly recommend it. We highly recommend doing whatever tour in ume with Sam.
The best guide in thiland. Very recommended for everyone who want to stay just around Bangkok and a quiet beach. Sam took us to the best places in Bangkok in a very big and comfortable van.
We contacted ume travel via email with our special advisor- Eva. Her email English was great!. When we arrive Thailand, our local guide, Sam, was a wonderful and professional. He spoke English well which made it easy for us to communicate. He was also very informative and knowledgeable. I'd definitely recommend him.
Booking our Thailand trip was as simple as we book a dish on the restaurant. Very professional and well-organized. Even more easy. What you need is telling your ideas to your advisor and ours, Eva, obviously is an exceptional one.
We had fantastic days with our tour advisor and guide with ume! Our local guide Sam’s English was amazing and his knowledge of Phuket led to a fun tour. As to Ayutthay historical park, cannot describe how educational the trip had been.
Excellent service very knowledgeable about the Thailand and due to experience could recommend great holiday based on our requirements
It was a great tour and for the price!
The tour overall was just a great experience. I experienced everything that I had wanted to see and do in Thailand when planning this trip. All of the tour guides were excellent and really did a good job. All of the airport transfers and planned activities went smoothly. As a 74 year old, I sometimes was a little tired of a full day outdoor activites. So my tour guides arranged mostly half days and managed to change to early morning when the temperature was lower. Always very helpful
Thoroughly enjoyed this trip. The tour provides varying landscapes, unforgettable experiences and a glimpse into life in the ancient civilization.
I was a little hesitant to do this tour but I’m really glad we did. All the guides were excellent. We never felt unsafe at any time . Guides were professional and took good care of us.
