Lisa Tauer

In March 22026, in partnership with China Airlines and the Tourism Authority of Thailand I embarked on a curated journey throughout Thailand.

Chiang Mai

In Chiang Mai, I experienced a serene blend of culture, nature, and wellness. My stay centered on a luxury resort designed for relaxation, balanced with meaningful cultural moments such as participating in the traditional Tak Bat alms-giving ceremony at sunrise. I explored northern Thai flavors through a private cooking class and enjoyed a signature wellness experience at a luxury spa. Highlights included an ethical visit to Elephant Eco Valley and guided visits to spiritually significant temples such as Wat Umong.

Bangkok

In Bangkok, I saw firsthand how historic heritage and modern luxury coexist. I stayed at a five-star riverside hotel along the Chao Phraya River and visited iconic landmarks including the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. The experience was deepened through private canal cruising and tuk-tuk exploration, offering an intimate perspective of the city’s neighborhoods. I sampled everything from elevated Thai cuisine and private dining to the lively street food scene in Bangkok’s Chinatown.

Ayutthaya

I took a private excursion to Ayutthaya, Thailand’s former capital, where the country’s history comes vividly to life. The experience included guided touring of key sites such as Wat Phra Si Sanphet and Wat Mahathat, paired with Michelin-recognized dining that elevated the visit and underscored how cultural exploration and refined experiences can seamlessly complement each other.
