Why you should go: See another side of Thailand with this cool getaway that kicks off in Bangkok—that supercharged megacity of 24/7 excitement of street food, nightlife, giant malls and ancient temples. As an antidote, this escape then whisks you to the peaceful countryside, for three nights in a design-forward boutique hideaway that seems to float upon the River Kwai.

What’s the big deal? This Travelzoo-exclusive offer lets you experience the high-octane energy of Bangkok and the lush serenity of the countryside on one five-night trip. Your stay includes floating cabin accommodations on the River Kwai, bookended by nights in vibrant Bangkok, and the entire trip comes loaded with perks like daily breakfast, drinks, roundtrip transfers and more.
