Jose Mourinho's squad arrived in Thailand shortly after 9am local time for the first stop on our post-season tour.
The Blues were met at Bangkok Airport by hundreds of supporters, who chanted the manager's name and took photographs of the players.
The travelling party includes multiple Player of the Year award-winner Eden Hazard, as well as four more players – Branislav Ivanovic, John Terry, Nemanja Matic and Diego Costa – who were named in the English Premier League Team of the Season.
Other established players such as Petr Cech, Cesar Azpilicueta John Mikel Obi and Loic Remy have also travelled, while youngsters Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Izzy Brown, Nathan Ake and Andreas Christensen, all of whom have played for the first team in recent weeks, are part of the group.
Mourinho has also included some of the other talented young players who helped us win both the UEFA Youth League and FA Youth Cup this season in the squad.
Later today the manager and one of his players will speak to members of the local media.
Tomorrow we will then train ahead of Saturday's game against Thailand All-Stars, before departing for Australia, where we will face Sydney FC next Tuesday.
Both matches can be seen live on Chelsea TV.
