The journey takes you through a variety of cities and landscapes. In Bangkok, the vibrant capital, visits to the Royal Palace and a ride on the Skytrain are on the agenda. To explore Chiang Mai's Old Town, travelers will hop on bikes while exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Sukhothai on foot. The heart of the trip is undoubtedly the train ride along the infamous Death Railway, built under extreme conditions during the Second World War.

Sensational adventure at Hellfire Pass

A highlight of the trip is the visit to the Hellfire Pass, also known as Konyu Cutting. This site is not only an impressive memorial to the many forced laborers who worked under cruel conditions to build the Burma-Thai Railway, but also provides a deep insight into the history of this region. The hiking trail along the original railway is about 3 km long and is considered a challenge for hiking enthusiasts. igoa-adventure.com recommends bringing enough water and snacks for this tour and warns of possible rock falls on the way.

For interested travelers, the Hellfire Pass Interpretive Center is the perfect place to learn more about the history of the railroad. The center is open from 9am to 4pm every day except Christmas and entry is free. For the best conditions for a visit, we recommend traveling during the dry season from November to January.

Unforgettable experiences and relaxation

The trip also takes participants to the region around the River Kwai, where they can experience the impressive nature and cultural treasures of Thailand. Finally, travelers can look forward to a relaxing swim in Cha Am on the Gulf of Thailand, where they can unwind. The tour includes a total of 15 nights in a double room, breakfast and a selection of lunch and dinner, all under the friendly guidance of a German-speaking Marco Polo tour guide.

Five dates between September and December 2026 can already be booked. This new Thailand trip from Marco Polo promises a perfect combination of culture, history, action and relaxation. So if you're looking for a new adventure, you shouldn't miss this exciting travel mix!
