Bangkok, Chiang Mai & Ko Sumui

This incredible adventure offers something for EVERYONE, whether you are a massage practitioner or just happen to LOVE massage. While in Bangkok we shall tour the temples (wats) and buildings of cultural interest, navigate the waters of the Chao Phraya River, and enjoy a private city tour with our own friendly English-speaking Thai native guide, with a visit to the Grand Palace, & Wat Pho,www.watpho.com By night you will be free to indulge in the endless delights the city has to offer. Bangkok is an amazing place. You will be surrounded by incredible energy, all of your senses simultaneously stimulated and yet unlike other large cities such as New York, there is a sense of calm and peacefulness, very seldom will you hear a horn blowing or someone yelling. Bangkok is a safe city, with two state-of-art subways systems, one above ground and one below. We will experience warm balmy summer like weather during our stay.

In Chiang Mai, you will take part in the amazing Loi Krathong Festival, attend thai cooking school, ride elphants and much more. We shall end our journy on the white sand beaches of Koi Sumui.

Michael Wilson has traveled extensively through Thailand will be your general guide and logistics coordinators to ensure you have a wonderful and comfortable experience. Providing you have some sense of adventure and willingness to explore new things, you will find this to be one of the most rewarding journeys you’ve ever taken. Thailand is deeply rich in cultural and heritage. (tax write off for massage therapists). Expect to spend an average of $15 - $20 USD per/day over and above the cost of the package price, plus your international airfare to /from Bangkok (BKK). Forget everything you think you know about human nature and brace yourself for the wonderful cultural shock of Thailand.

By far the most romantic of Thailand’s celebrations, Loy Krathong takes place on the full moon night of the 12th lunar month. The Thai word 'Loy' means 'to float in Thai, while 'Krathong' is a small raft, about a hand span in diameter, made from a section of banana tree trunk – although today specially made bread 'flowers' or even Styrofoam are used. We will decorate our Krathongs with elaborately-folded banana leaves, flowers, candles, and incense sticks. Some people also add hair or fingernail clippings. Between the months of August and October the tides in Thailand’s waterways are at their highest and with the moon at its brightest, the stage is set for an idyllic conclusion to the rainy season. The general idea being to persuade the local serpent-ruler, Phaya Nak, to halt the monsoon rain, dispel the floods and return the rivers to their tranquil ways. The act of floating Krathongs on rivers, canals or any other body of water symbolises letting go of grudges, problems and anger so that one can start life afresh – a cleansing tradition of sorts. The idea being that all people should prepare suitable offerings to present to the river spirits in order to obtain pardon and the absolution of their sins. In doing so the Thais are also welcoming the spirit of good fun or 'sanook' – something they know a lot about.
