Saturday. Welcome to Bangkok, the bustling capital city of Thailand! A world-renowned tourist destination, this vibrant city offers an eclectic mix of lively street life, cultural landmarks, and busy shopping areas.
Arriving at Suvarnabhumi or Donmuang Airport, you'll be met by our local representative and transferred to your hotel for check in. Spend the rest of the day at leisure to explore Bangkok. Why not try some tasty street food or take a thrilling tuk tuk ride?
Bangkok - Hua Hin. Rise and shine! Today begins with an early start onward from Bangkok to Mae Klong, home to a unique market setup directly alongside a railway track. Watch in awe as vendors quickly collapse their awnings and pull back their stalls as a train approaches. Once the train has disappeared, its back to business as they quickly reassemble to carry on trading!
Next, we head to the enchanting Amphawa Market, nestled along the picturesque canal-side wooden homes. We'll then take a leisurely long-tail boat ride across the waterway, before disembarking at Wat Bang Kung, an Ayutthaya-era temple that features a huge Banyan Tree embracing the shrine in roots.
Afterwards, we will head to Wat Pumarin Kudi Thong, famous for its teakwood chapel and temple museum, followed by Petchaburi to visit Khao Luang Cave which contains a collection of Buddha statues. Our last stop today is King Mongkut's hillside Summer Palace before heading to Hua Hin for the night.
Hua Hin - Chumphon. Today we will enjoy nature, with a visit to Sam Roi Yot National Park. Our visit includes a boat ride and a hike to Phraya Nakhon Cave, which contains a beautiful pavilion. The limestone cave has roof openings that allow the sun to shine through, casting light and shadow in the darkness of the interior.
After lunch at a local restaurant, we will visit Wat Tang Sai, a Buddhist Temple that is dedicated to Thai royalty and sits atop Thongchai Mountain. Once at the temple, we'll be greeted by intricate architecture, delicate details, and serene surroundings.
Overnight in Chumphon.
Chumphon - Khao Sok. As the sun rises, we start our day with a breathtaking view of Chumphon from the lookout spot, Khao Matsee. The picturesque panorama sets the perfect tone for an unforgettable day ahead.
After lunch, we will proceed to Surat Thani, where we will explore Phra Borom That Chaiya, an ancient chedi that is home to precious Buddhist relics. Then, we continue to the handicraft town of Ban Phumriag, renowned for its exquisite gold and silver brocade silk cloth and traditional jute headgear. Witness local artisans at work, their skills passed down through generations, making each creation a work of art.
Overnight in Khao Sok.
Today's adventure is a mix of relaxation and excitement, starting at the Rommanee Hot Spring. Choose between indulging in a soothing self-foot spa or immersing your entire body in the rejuvenating hot waters.
We will keep the tranquility going with a trip to Khao Sok scenic viewpoint for a wonderful view of the surrounding area. Next, prepare for some cheeky encounters as we visit the Monkey Cave Temple. This unique temple is home to playful and mischievous monkeys. Just remember to keep a respectful distance!
In the afternoon, we embark on a canoe ride down the tranquil Khao Sok River. Drift along the water and keep an eye out for the diverse wildlife that calls this region home.
Overnight in Khao Sok.
Khao Sok - Phuket. We begin today with a guided tour and thrilling trek through Khao Sok National Park.
Enjoy the nature reserve, which contains dense jungle, towering limestone karst formations and the man-made Chaow Lan Lake. It's even home to rare species including the giant parasitic Rafflesia flower, hornbills, gibbons and tigers.
Afterwards, we will return to the camp to freshen up. We'll then bid farewell to this natural wonderland and head to Phuket. The night is at leisure to explore.
Welcome to Phuket, where you'll be staying for the next few days. Known as the "Pearl of the Andaman," Phuket is a tropical paradise, renowned for its stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, and diverse marine life, making it a popular destination for travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure.
Today is at leisure for you to explore as you wish. Immerse yourself in the historic charm of Old Phuket town or take a boat tour to the Phi Phi Islands. Perhaps visit the iconic Big Buddha or connect with spirituality at Wat Chalong. Make sure to end the night with a walk down Bangla Road, Phuket's bustling nightlife district.
Today is a day at leisure to explore Phuket further. Whether you wish to relax by the beach, island hop, shop till you drop, or explore the island's historic and cultural wonders, there's something for everyone!
