On the afternoon of Day 3 of your journey, visit the Arts of the Kingdom exhibit at the Ananda Samakhom Throne Hall. This collection consists of traditional Thai crafts and artwork sponsored by a foundation endowed by Queen Sirikit of Thailand. These carved, jewel- and gold-inlayed miniatures - depicting thrones, barges and other appurtenances of royalty - are truly awe-inspiring, many having taken more than three years, and the efforts of 30 craftspeople, to complete. On Day 7, dine at the chef's table at the Four Seasons Chiang Mai, and for a unique Thai dining experience, the Cooking School offers a communal dining experience as rich in culture as it is in cuisine.
