This wonderful tour combines the cultural highlights of Bali and Thailand with the luxuries of some of the world's most acclaimed resorts.
Begin with several days of luxury and beachside relaxation in Jimbaran Bay or Nusa Dua. Enjoy flexible touring with a private guide and driver, including temples such as Pura Tanah Lot and Pura Taman Ayun, time to browse upscale boutiques in Seminyak, and other highlights such as a visit to a local turtle conservation center. One evening, attend a Kecak dance performance at the cliffside temple of Pura Luhur Uluwatu. There will also be ample time for you to enjoy the resort's spa, beach, golf, yoga, water activities and fine dining.
Continue inland to Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali. With your private guide and driver, tour the region according to your interests: visit local artisan villages and the workshops of noted artists and craftsmen; peruse a local outdoor food market; see the incredible architecture at Green Village; visit the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary; explore Ubud's most interesting museums and art galleries; tour Balinese water palaces and important temples such as Goa Gajah (Elephant Cave) and Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu; meet with a Balinese healer or spiritual leader; attend local festivals; or venture into the highlands to Pura Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Kintamani and villages along the slopes of Mount Batur. One day, enjoy an excursion to eastern Bali, one of the island's most traditional regions, to visit royal palaces, revered temples such as Pura Besakih on sacred Mount Agung, and Balinese villages known for their high-quality weavings and traditional architecture. Also see terraced rice fields and other beautiful landscapes. One evening, attend a Balinese dance performance at Ubud's royal palace. During free time, enjoy the town's many cafes and boutiques, and take advantage of your private plunge pool and the resort spa. Artisans of Leisure can also arrange additional activities in the region, such as river rafting, hiking, biking, local craft workshops and cooking classes.
Continue to Bangkok, Thailand, a fascinating city with glistening temples, colorful markets and superb restaurants. Stay at the elegant Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok—a legendary riverside hotel. Take a private longtail boat tour through the city's residential canals. Learn about Buddhism at Wat Phra Keow and Wat Po. Visit the markets where homemakers and local chefs purchase flowers, spices, seafood and produce. Watch monks chanting morning prayers at the Marble Temple. View traditional Thai art and architecture at the Jim Thompson House and the Prasart Museum. Shop for Thai silk, antiques and other distinctive local goods. Depending on your travel dates, also visit the six thousand-stall extravaganza known as the Chatuchak Weekend Market. There will also be plenty of free time to enjoy the Oriental's renowned spa, cooking school, restaurants and other facilities.
Finally, fly to Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. Spend several days at the Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai—one of the world's most luxurious spa resorts, with Thai villas spread among terraced rice fields. During private touring, visit temples, learn about elephants during a visit to a local sanctuary, enjoy a gourmet picnic while river rafting, visit local hill tribe villages, and take an insider's tour of Chiang Mai's best craft shops.

Our Indonesia trip was perfect. I will always be using Artisans of Leisure in the future for any trips. Everything was seamless, and the guides were the best!
