Congratulations, you plucky adventurer! You've chosen an epic trip that will deliver so much in just 10-days. On arrival at Suvarnabhumi International Airport (Airport Code: BKK), your driver will meet you and transfer you to your first hotel located in the bustling heart of the Chinatown district. Depending on your arrival time, one of our team will either be there to meet you or if you arrive late at night, will meet you tomorrow morning. You will receive a lot of information about your trip and meet your private, English-speaking tour guide who will guide you along this unforgettable journey. By the end of the trip, you can sure this person will be near and dear to your heart. If you want to explore, we will then take you out for a walk in the immediate local area to introduce you to Chinatown and points of places of interest. Or you can just tuck in and rest up for the adventure that awaits. If you're feeling hungry, we'll organise some mouthwatering street food for an official welcome to Thailand treat!

Being in the heart of Chinatown means you're in the heart of the old city. This area is steeped in history with some incredible sights and places to visit. As Bangkok is such a sprawling metropolis the quickest, and most fun way to move around, is by electric scooter! So today you'll be led on a guided tour as you navigate the narrow backstreets, markets, temples, and more of this stunning and historic area of the city. You'll be collected from the hotel and returned there in the afternoon so that you have a chance to freshen up and prepare for your overnight train transfer to charming Chiang Mai in the north. Everything will be organised for you so that all you need to do is be ready to leave the hotel on time for your transfer to the station. On board the train you have your very own bed, with fresh bedding supplied, to give you a comfortable night's sleep allowing you to arrive at your next destination fresh and ready to go!

Today, we arrive in Khao Sok National Park. Private pickup will transfer us from the train station to the exceptionally unique Our Jungle House Resort. After checking in, the afternoon is yours to spend as you please with plenty to explore in the surrounding jungle area - including a river for a quick dip. Khao Sok National Park is a nature reserve of dense virgin jungle, towering limestone karst formations, and the man-made Cheow Lan Lake. It’s home to rare species such as the giant parasitic Rafflesia flower, hornbill birds, gibbons, sun bears, sambar deer, and the boisterously vocal macaques. On the first evening, we sit down for a full-course dinner surrounded by the wild sounds of the jungle. After dinner, you can enjoy the jungle views from the treehouse terrace, enjoy some local beers or beverages, or tuck in early and soak in the sounds of the jungle as you nod off in jungle paradise.

Today, you spend on Cheow Lan Lake - also located in Khao Sok National Park. The boat transfer drops us directly at the floating bungalows. Then, it is time to unplug and unwind - no wi-fi, no problem! You have the pleasure of your group and serene nature to keep you company this evening. Cheow Lan Lake is an unbelievable nature escape and the floating bungalows are a one-of-a-kind experience. Enjoy the crystal clear water, soak in some sun, and breathe in the breathtaking vistas of this remarkable destination. All meals are included today so there's not a single concern to be had. Want to stay active? Jump in for a swim - anywhere and everywhere. Kayaks are also available to explore the towering limestone peaks, spot the abundant wildlife, and stop off at one of the dozens of untouched islands spotted along the lake. You make this day as active or laid-back as you'd like. Sunrise here is not to be missed. The morning glow on the lake, singing birds, hooting monkeys - heaven! We also suggest a refreshing morning swim, just steps from your bungalow door. After breakfast, we catch the boat back to the pier and we're off to Phuket for some proper beach time.

After two days tucked away in the lush jungle of Khao Sok National Park, time for your first beach days in Thailand! Our private transfer brings you from Khao Sok to Phuket and then it is time for some R&R. The extra accommodating Burasari Hotel is where you will call home for the next four nights. Patong Beach is just a few minutes' walk from the hotel and there is plenty to do and see in this area. Grab a beach chair and a beverage, hang out by the hotel pool, rent some motorbikes or push bicycles to explore the area, get a massage or full day spa treatment, or head for some shopping in the many local shops along the boardwalk. There are also surf boards and lessons available all along this area. The swell is moderate and the sand is soft on Patong Beach, making it an ideal spot to try and hang ten. You can make this day as active or relaxed as you would like. Just make sure you leave an appetite for this evening! End the day with an included welcome feast to celebrate your first day in this tropical paradise.

Today you get the full Phuket experience! After a hearty breakfast at the hotel, we're off for an island tour to take in the cultural sites like the Big Buddha, wind through the Old Town, and check out the panoramic vistas as we drive up and down the coast. The viewpoints here are truly spectacular and today is full postcard-worthy scenery. There are dozens of beaches scattered around the island and today you will get to see a handful of truly stunning beaches. Sit back, relax, and let your guide and driver take you on a proper excursion around this tropical paradise.

Wake up in paradise? Check. Today you can make as active or chilled-out as you please. The beach is just minutes away, the hotel pool is top-notch, and there is plenty to explore, shop, and enjoy. There is no shortage of activities to join on the island. From cooking classes to watersports, to cultural trips or enjoying the beaches, restaurants and markets. You'll have plenty of time to join any of these and your guide will be with you to organise any particular extra activities of interest. Soak it all in because this is island life at its finest!

Today, you'll have a day spent aboard a private for a snorkel boat trip and island hopping tour along the Andaman Coast! Jump in with the tropical wonders below and see the variety of fish, crustaceans, blooming coral, and - if you're lucky - a meandering sea turtle. After a good swim with the fish, soak in some sun and the views that surround you. Towering limestone peaks as far as your eyes can see. Crystal clear, teal water. What more could you ask for? You wanted to see what Thailand is all about and this is one of the most picturesque places in the kingdom. What. A. Day!

Enjoy one final morning hanging out in paradise! Grab breakfast, head for one last walk along the beach or boardwalk of Patong Beach, and take note of how much you will enjoy coming back in the future. Go on, by this point on the tour, you'll know you're going to! After breakfast and check out, private transfer drops you off at the Phuket Airport for a quick flight back to Bangkok. Our drivers will meet you when you land and bring you back to where it all began - the W22 Hotel in Chinatown. Make sure to keep an appetite for this evening! To celebrate your mission accomplished and to share stories and memories from along the way, we set up a departing dinner full of Thai specialties. One last fix of the real stuff before you head back home! After you can grab some beverages, explore the city, or tuck in for your flight the next day. You have now gotten a proper introduction to the Land of Smiles. We expect - and hope - we may see you again soon!

Your adventure has come to a close! But don't fret, we have many more adventures for when you return next time. Until next time is always better than goodbye, right? After breakfast at the hotel, we provide private transfer to the airport to catch your departing flight. If you have other plans for onward travel, we can help arrange transport and options. Please let our team know in advance so we are able to accommodate your requests. Until next time, new friend!
