This unique, multi-country journey takes us into the heart of two stunning and culturally rich countries where we’ll experience the friendliness and warmth of their people. Nobody knows the backcountry better than our personal guide, local biking expert Tanin, who will weave us through rice paddies, jungle, farmland and forest. Along the way we’ll enjoy exclusive access to ancient sights and private homes that connect us to a side of this region that few tourists ever see. Sure, there will be a few bumpy trails along the way, but the extra work always pays off; just like it does in life. Besides, there’s no better place to tap into your spiritual side for a little perseverance.

Anantara Resort Golden Triangle, Chiang Saen
The Anantara is a small luxury resort that takes full advantage of the tranquil splendour of the Golden Triangle. Our rooms have high, teak beam ceilings and private balcony overlooking the bamboo forest, and are accented with the best of local silks and woven cottons. Amenities include sunken tubs and DVD players. The resort is most magical at night when hundreds of candles cast shadows across Naga carvings in the main building and along the gorgeous infinity pool. The spa is sublime with stone steam rooms, hot rock massages and facials galore.

Four Seasons Chiang Mai
One of the most celebrated resorts in Asia, the Four Seasons is an icon in Thailand. It has been voted Asia’s top Spa by Spa Magazine and every year is ranked among the top 20 hotels in the world. The hotel is located outside Chiang Mai in the Mae Rim Valley on 20 acres of tropical gardens and rice paddies. Your rooms boast rice-paddy views, and your upstairs verandas offer glimpses over the mountain ranges. It may be hard to drag yourself away from the polished teak floors, double vanities, over-sized bathtub and spacious veranda for a visit to the fully equipped fitness club, tennis courts or world-renowned spa, but they’re all worth it.

La Résidence Phou Vao, Luang Prabang
Originally serving as a government hotel, La Résidence Phou Vao has been transformed into Luang Prabang’s premier property. The location couldn’t be better, atop the Hill of Kites in the centre of town. Stand on your balcony and soak up the sweeping panorama of Luang Prabang and its Mekong backdrop. Your room is tastefully finished in rosewood and cotton, matching the hotel’s Lao/colonial architectural motif. The spa boasts an alluring combination of traditional Lao herbal and steam therapies.

Oriental Hotel, Bangkok
The Oriental Hotel is among the world’s finest, with two pools, a fitness centre and a renowned spa. Set on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in the heart of the city, it is the perfect base for exploring Bangkok.
