Days 1–3 · Bangkok
Settle in and choose a small number of city interests.
Day 4 · Transfer north
Reserve the day for the chosen connection.
Days 5–8 · Chiang Mai
Alternate a planned day with a quieter one; do not assume every excursion fits.
Days 9–10 · Return & buffer
Return to Bangkok for a final night if that fits your booked departure. This buffer is more valuable than another overnight stop.
Budget & booking assumptions
Accommodation, meals, local transport and admission are not priced into this route. Compare live quotes in THB and keep international flights, insurance and a contingency separate. The route assumes the proposed connections can be booked; if they cannot, reduce the number of bases.
