Bagan * Inle Lake * Angkor
Be fascinated by cultural legacy of these Buddhist countries. Admire
the varied architecture of the Grand Palace in Bangkok, and stand in
awe at the grandeur of the Thai and Khmer ruins in Sukhothai's
historical park - Thailand's original capital. Fly to the northern
frontier town of Chiang Rai and to the infamous Golden Triangle.
Travel by boat along the Kok River, enjoy an elephant safari and walk
in the nearby tribal villages. Explore the exuberant tropical
rainforests before arriving in popular Chiang Mai with its cool
highland air, unique architecture, moats and temples. Shop for
stunning silks, rich celadon, silver, delicate hand made paper,
wooden puppets and beautiful bronzes.
Burma (Myanmar) is a country of contrasts with dazzling pagodas,
colonial-era buildings, shimmering rice fields and saffron robed
monks. Reflect on the unforgettable beauty and tranquility of the
golden Shwedagon Pagoda and the bustling Scott Market with reasonably
priced native folk art, antiques, silver and tribal textiles. View the
magnificent temple ruins and pagodas of Bagan's Golden Age from the
11th - 13th centuries when a frenzy of building took place. Travel to
the natural preserve of Inle Lake with its one-leg rowers, floating
gardens and markets filled with colorful tribes.
The trip culminates in Angkor, the cultural and spiritual heart of the Khmer
civilization. View magnificent temple art, bas-relief and sculpture being
overtaken by the jungle at Ta Phrom, and a masterpiece of Khmer art entirely constructed
of red sandstone at Banteay Srei. View an unforgettable sunset over Angkor as the hues
change slowly and subtly over the world's largest religious monument!
