Track of the Tiger’s |
The THIPS system is designed primarily for those wishing to follow the most popular approach of starting their holiday proper in the culturally rich north of Thailand, then perhaps spending a while in one of the less developed neighbouring countries, before finally dropping down to the islands or coastal areas of southern Thailand.
The holiday as described may then be broken into several phases, some of which can be omitted depending on your own preferences:
Getting Here
& Getting Acquainted
Organizing flights to Thailand, hotels, transfers and perhaps sightseeing
tours on arrival in Bangkok (if a stopover is taken on the way in).
Discovering
the North: The Old Lanna Kingdom
Flights to Chiang Mai (if a stopover in Bangkok had been taken on
the way in), hotels & transfers on arrival, and selecting the type
of tours or activities/courses you wish to pursue when in the north.
Meeting the
Neighbours
Excursions into our neighbouring countries for a glimpse or perhaps
deeper exploration of their unique and fascinating cultures.
Sport and
Fun in the Sun
Plain relaxation: canoeing, diving, snorkelling, and so on.
Going Home
with a Bargain
Generally a flight back to Bangkok, transfer & hotel, and an opportunity
to take advantage of one of the recently ranked Top 3 cities in
the world for bargain buys: Bangkok!
