A three-week journey of discovery will introduce you to Thailand&#8217;s rich palette.<\/p>\n<h3>From temples, jungle and street food to tropical beaches<\/h3>\n<p>Take walks among golden Buddha statues and overgrown ruins that tell of times gone by. Each temple is different, from robust and sturdy to a style akin to refined confectionery. Sometimes you will witness a subdued ritual with candles, incense and prayer, a scene to be stilled, even a spiritual experience for some. Ancient temple ruins briefly come alive through your guide&#8217;s stories, which you can further color with your own empathy. Don&#8217;t forget to also zoom in on the countless details, such as an iguana sitting dead still on a wall, the soothing <em>chanting<\/em> of the monks, the reflection of sunlight on statues of gold leaf and the sound of crickets.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the trip, you will settle down at a beach resort of your choice. Then all the places, encounters and events pass by once again. Relax and just dream away under the palm trees on a white sandy beach.  <em>Where the world can&#8217;t find you&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Tips &amp; Tops Comprehensive Tour Thailand:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Explore <strong>Bangkok<\/strong> by boat, bicycle or tuktuk, and take in the atmosphere of this always lively city.
