Day tours and trips are a popular option for seniors, as you can get out and do a few things wherever you happen to be staying, and then return home to the comfort of your lodging for a relaxing dinner and evening.

Many visitors start with some day trips in Bangkok, especially to the Floating Market and the Grand Palace / Temple of the Emerald Buddha.  Alternatively, you might enjoy a cooking school or even a sky tour above Bangkok and Ayuttaya, a thrilling experience.

From Chiang Mai, visits to hilltribe villages are popular, some as close as one hour away, not to mention the many handicraft villages, and some of the most beautiful temples you’re ever likely to see.  Once again, you’re spoiled for choice.
