Day One
From London Heathrow, board your Thai Airways overnight flight to Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, via Bangkok

Day Two
Arriving in the morning to make the most of your time, a private transfer will meet you at the airport and take you on the short journey to Raya Heritage where you'll spend the next 3 nights in a Rin Terrace Suite, with breakfast included.

Days Three to Four
There is a whole host of things to do in Chiang Mai, such as Tuk Tuk experiences to hilltribe communities, visiting markets by way of a 'Samlor' (a three-wheeled, cycle-powered carriage) or heading north towards Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle where Myanmar, Laos and Thailand meet.  Whatever you choose to do, make sure you leave enough time to enjoy the resort and its majestic views.

Day Five
A private transfer will take you back to Chiang Mai Airport where you'll board a direct Bangkok Airways flight south, to Krabi.  The Rayavadee team will meet you here and escort you by van and speedboat across to the resort.  You'll stay at Rayavadee for 7 nights in a Deluxe Pavilion, again with breakfast included.

Days Six to Eleven
One of the main attractions of Thailand as a whole, and certainly when staying at Rayavadee, is the beaches.  Your pavilion will be just moments away, so you'll likely dedicate a good amount of time to relaxation - and rightly so.  For when you can pull yourself away from the sand, the team at Rayavadee will be happy help arrange any number of a wide range of excursions.  You could visit neighbouring islands such as the Phi Phi Islands, Bamboo Island or Chicken Island (so named after the peculiar rock formations).  On land you could enjoy nature walks, visit an emerald-coloured pool or head to the lively morning market in Krabi.
