Arrive in Thailand's capital, the lively metropolis of Bangkok. The bustling street life of this energetic city is set to a backdrop of colourful, ornate shrines and modern glass-fronted high-rises, which jostle for position to dominate the city's skyline. It's a pla...
Travelling on foot this morning we head for the magnificent splendour of the Grand Palace, where we enjoy a tour of the site in the company of a local guide. Dating from the latter years of the 18th century, this huge edifice represents the emergence of the Thai natio...
We awake this morning in Trang, the gateway to the Southern Andaman Islands. After disembarking, we make a short drive to Pak Meng Pier where we catch our first glimpse of the shimmering turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea. A short boat transfer takes us to the beauti...
Our first full morning on Koh Hai sees us taking a boat trip to the nearby Trang Andaman Island of Koh Muk, where we stop off to visit the stunning Emerald Cave (Tham Morakot). An 80 metre swim along a limestone tunnel emerges at an inland beach, surrounded by enclose...
A free day affords an opportunity to return to the forested landscapes of the National Park, or perhaps to take a speedboat to nearby Rok Nok or Rok Nai, to enjoy some snorkelling and shopping. Of course you may just prefer to soak up the idyllic majesty of our island...
Transferring to the local pier we take a public ferry to the island of Koh Lanta, whose beautiful beaches have earned it the name of Pulao Satak by the local people (Island of the Long Beaches). Its white sands and forested hills present the ideal backdrop to our stay...
Today has been left free to relax on the idyllic white sand beaches, or perhaps take an optional kayak trip out to Talabeng Island. It's an easy two hour kayak in still and calm waters around the rocky outcrop of Talabeng and through dense mangrove forests, with an included lunch on the beaches of Bubu Island.
Meals Provided : Breakfast
A further free day on the island affords a wealth of opportunities to enjoy some more optional excursions, including walks in the national park, a boat trip into the warm waters, or perhaps an excursion by bus around the island. The pristine waters of these shores present ideal opportunities for diving and snorkelling.
Meals Provided : Breakfast
We continue our island-hopping voyage with a lunchtime public ferry to Koh Yao Noi. This little-visited island lies in the shadows of towering rocky outcrops and jagged limestone cliffs, all part of the picturesque Phang Nga National Park. We arrive at Koh Yao Noi in ...
Today is free for you to either relax under the shade of a palm tree, or choose from a number of optional excursions. These include hiring a bicycle and cycling around the island to learn about daily life; joining a cooking class at local chef Khun Mina's house, or ta...
This morning we transfer by local truck to the pier where we board a public long tail ferry to Ao Thalene pier on the mainland. We then drive on to Nopparat beach. On arrival we check into our hotel for the next three nights, after which the rest of the day is free to...
A free day affords another opportunity to relax and enjoy the balmy serenity of these tropical shores, relaxing on the beach, or perhaps taking a walk through the surrounding area. Renowned for its limestone outcrops, the Krabi region is littered with caves that h...
Another free day in Krabi gives us further opportunity to explore the many interesting sights in the region, or perhaps spend the last full day relaxing on the white sand beaches and browsing the local markets. There is also the option to take a speedboat out to Koh...
The trip ends after breakfast at our hotel in Krabi. There are no activities planned today, so you are free to depart from Krabi at any time. If your flight is departing later in the day luggage storage facilities are available at our hotel. If you would like to re...
