This Ultimate Adventure Tour of Thailand is one of Ampersand's Top 10 Family-friendly Itineraries.
This journey visits many of the natural splendours of Thailand and offers the opportunity to learn a number of traditional skills such as mahout training, Thai massage and Boxing. Starting in the Golden Triangle, discover how to guide an elephant by riding on its neck and using soft commands, and light touches behind its ears, trek into the lush forests on elephants and foot. Continue to Thailand's oldest National Park, Khao Yai for jungle walks, night safaris and possible sightings of elusive wild elephant and tigers.
Next, journey to exotic Bangkok to watch local life unfold as you cycle along the canals, and learn the centuries-old art of Thai massage. This journey concludes with a relaxing stay on one of Thailand's most famous beaches with views over a spectacular seascape.

I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything.
