Swap the beaches for the highlands. Khao Kho, in central Thailand's mountains, offers cool air, rolling green hills, misty mornings and sweeping valley views — a side of the country most visitors never see.
The star of the trip is Wat Phra That Pha Sorn Kaew, the temple on Glass Mountain, famous for its five white Buddha statues and facades covered with millions of pieces of ceramic, glass and porcelain. You will watch the sunset here as the lights come on, and return at dawn hoping to catch the famous sea of clouds.
The pace is relaxed, with no long hikes or strenuous activity. The longest drive takes about 2 hours, other transfers 15-90 minutes. The tour runs privately for groups of 2 or more.
Shoulders and knees must be covered at temples. Guests under the influence of alcohol or drugs may be refused participation.
Passport copy, warm layers for chilly mornings and evenings, comfortable shoes, a hat, insect repellent and cash for personal expenses.
Transfer included: we pick you up at your hotel. We'll confirm the pickup time after you book.
