We thought the title might get your attention. And sure, it’s an interesting name for an adventure, but just an adventure this is not. Simply put, this is the collective summation of all we experience in life - the joys, challenges, fun and games, stresses and disappointments, learning curves and triumphs all compressed into an outstanding 13-day adventurous romp through the back doors of Thailand's hidden treasures.

Event
On March 15, 2007 Smiling Albino will launch the very first ‘Thailand Masters Pursuit’, a next-generation travel concept in which you’ll experience the ultimate Siamese adventure by navigating, calculating, performing and discovering your way around various corners of the Kingdom. Five teams of two (couples, friends, strangers, any dynamic duo will do) will compete head-to-head for 13-days in a cross-county pursuit with the goal of being named the ‘Thailand Masters’. This is the ultimate combination of holiday and self-propelled discovery. And the best part…the winning team will be crowned the ‘Thailand Masters’ and receive their trip for free!

Details
Upon arrival, each team will be whisked to their Bangkok hotel and receive an ‘Adventure Kit’, which outlines game rules, instructions, has lots of neat tools to assist on your quest, including your very own mobile phone, and serves as an overall play book for the ‘Thailand Masters Pursuit’. Teams will have to budget (funds provided), negotiate, plan and investigate their way around Thailand, finding clues, performing tasks and acquiring items to take them to the next destination. It’s not just speed that’s important, as points are accumulated by correctly completing each stage, budgeting properly, as well as making it to destinations within allotted time. This is more of an adventure travel decathlon than just a race to the finish!

Who
Adventurers can expect to paddle, cycle, drive, fly (commercial flight), ride elephants and other local modes of transport, visit temples, historical locales, mountain regions, city hangouts, modern edifices, ancient ruins, chillout places, great palaces and hidden corners. Be ready to participate in everything from Thai dancing to sampling local delicacies to driving a Jeep and anything else that’s thrown at you. Participants must be independent, self-starters that feel comfortable in foreign environments and situations. To ensure a safe, enjoyable and flawless adventure we’ll have members of our team just around the mountain (or corner), a phone call away and ready to assist at all times.

Itinerary
This 13-day epic will submerse you into the ins and outs of Thailand, its people, landscapes, food and cultures. You’ll experience Bangkok, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ayutthaya, the far throws of Chiang Rai province, navigating the borders with Myanmar and Laos and a final destination too hot to let out of the bag! As to not give away too much, here’s a rough outline of where you’ll be.

Day 3: James Bond Headlights (Bangkok) (B,D)
