Thailand known to many as the "Land of Smiles" because the Thai people smile frequently.

Millions of tourists visit Thailand each year. Some tourists visit for the cultural aspects where they want to visit Buddhist temples and experience the delicious Thai cuisine. Some others come here to relax at the beautiful beaches and enjoy the magnificent scenery and exciting nightlife.

A beautiful country that has much to offer for the tourists and everything is affordably priced. A short one hour flight north of Bangkok we have Chiang Mai, the second largest city in Thailand and a city that is extremely popular with tourists who visit the city which is cooler, less polluted, less traffic congestion than Bangkok and many feel that there is more to do in Chiang Mai in comparison.

Bhutan Evergreen Tours & Treks is pleased to work with Chiangmai Group Tours, a tour operator based in Thailand and thereby jointly enabling tourists to plan a memorable vacation to both countries. Thailand is one of only four countries that fly to Bhutan so arranging a vacation to both exotic destinations becomes very easy to arrange.

We can arrange a brief 3 day vacation in both Bhutan and Thailand or better yet a 6 day vacation in each country thereby giving you an opportunity to take more photo's which you will treasure and you will have an opportunity to disover more of what each country has to offer.
