The land of smiles
Thailand Tour From Kochi, Temples and Bustling Bangkok
Cruise past lit-up temples on a river through the capital, ride a speedboat to an island of clear water, and stand under a golden Buddha above a bay. Fortune's Thailand group tour runs ex Cochin, covering Bangkok and Pattaya in one easy, escorted week.
Why Thailand
The Trip That Works for Everyone.
Thailand is the rare country that suits every kind of traveller at once: honeymooners, families, friends' groups, and first-timers abroad. Gold-roofed temples stand beside night markets, the sea stays warm all year, the food is famous on every continent, and prices leave room for shopping. For Kerala travellers it is one of the shortest big trips on the map, and one of the easiest to enjoy. Fortune covers it as a set escorted departure ex Cochin, pairing the capital's energy with the coast's ease.
The tour route
Two Cities, One Island, One River.
The places on the plan, in the order the trip meets them.
Bangkok
The capital and the landing point
Where temples, markets, and the river carry the country's pulse.
The Chao Phraya
Bangkok's great river
Crossed by boat in the evening when the temples along its banks light up.
Pattaya
The beach city, an easy drive from the capital
Where the bay curves under a hillside and the evenings run late.
Coral Island
The speedboat day out from Pattaya
All clear shallows, pale sand, and time in the water.
Before you go
Thailand, in brief.
The quick read before the plan.
The evening on the water
Dinner Afloat on the Chao Phraya.
The Chao Phraya Dinner Cruise
Lit Temples Sliding Past the Deck
Bangkok saves its best face for the river after dark. The tour's dinner cruise sets off down the Chao Phraya as the city lights come on, and the great landmarks along the banks glow above the water while dinner is served on deck. The cruise glides past Wat Arun, the Grand Palace, and the Rama VIII Bridge, all lit up over the river, with a Thai buffet and live music on board. Of everything in the capital, this is the evening travellers describe first when they land back home.
Worth the climb
The Golden Buddha Above the Bay.
On Pratamnak Hill above Pattaya stands the Big Buddha of Wat Phra Yai, around 18 metres of calm golden presence and the biggest Buddha image in Chonburi province, watching over the curve of the bay since 1977. A long stairway flanked by two golden Naga serpents leads up to the statue, the drive up opens fine views of the bay, and the terrace at the top stays unhurried even when the beach below is not. It is the quiet hour of the Pattaya days, and the photograph from the top ends up framed more often than any beach shot.
Made your way
The fixed plan is one option, not the only one.
Our group departures suit travellers who want everything settled in advance, but that is not the only way to travel with us. If the set dates do not match your leave, if you want more days in one place and fewer in another, or if you would rather travel only with your own family or friends, tell our team what you have in mind and we will build the trip around you instead. You see the full plan and the cost before anything is confirmed, and nothing is booked until you are happy with it.

FAQ
Questions with useful answers
Bangkok and Pattaya over five days ex Cochin: Nong Nooch Village and its Elephant Show, the Coral Island speedboat trip, the Big Buddha above the bay, the Alcazar show, the Floating Market, the Chao Phraya dinner cruise, and a full day at Safari World with Marine Park. The complete day-wise plan sits on the itinerary page.
Entry rules for Indian passport holders change from time to time, and the visa, where applicable, is not part of the package cost. We confirm the current requirement and guide you through it when you enquire. Keep your passport valid for six months beyond your return date.
November to February brings the coolest, driest weeks and the biggest demand. The sea stays warm right through the year, so shoulder months travel well too, and we advise honestly on the month you hold.
A speedboat runs the group out from Pattaya to Koh Larn, an island of clear shallows and pale sand, with time in the water and optional water sports like parasailing and jet ski before returning for lunch. It is the easiest sea day on the plan, and every age enjoys it.
Very. Short flights, warm water, gentle sightseeing, an elephant show, a safari day, and food children take to quickly. The escorted format means parents travel without managing logistics, and the desk paces family groups kindly.
Yes. Extra beach nights, an island extension, different months, or a private departure on your own dates can all be built. Tell the desk what fits, and the fresh plan comes back priced for approval.
