Destination 1 - Bangkok
Asia’s most distinctive city is a haven for those who are fascinated by palaces or golden temples, such as the incredible Grand Palace or the Emerald Buddha Temple. Prepare to be spellbound by the Wat Arun temple, found on the Chao Phraya River with its seventy metre glass spire. We recommend spending three nights here to give you enough time to see the city's key attractions.
Destination 2 - Krabi
From dramatic limestone cliffs and palm fringed shores to culturally significant temples, Krabi is an island of diversity. This is a great base for island hopping with Phi Phi, Koh Lanta and Koh Yao Nai all within easy access. By day take a traditional long tail boat ride to the uninhabited offshore islands, snorkel in the crystal clear waters and take in the sights of the cultural temples. By night explore Walking Street for handicrafts, delicious Thai food and nightly entertainment. The diversity of Krabi is endless. We would recommend spending at least 5 nights here to take in all that Krabi has to offer.
Destination 3 Koh Lanta
With a carefree atmosphere, Koh Lanta takes you back to the more authentic Thai way of life, away from the main hustle and bustle of some of the neighboring islands. Once a backpacker’s favourite, Koh Lanta has now become a luxury couples’ hotspot. Let this island dazzle you and fall in love with this hidden island gem. Spend at least 5 nights here to fully relax and unwind and explore this beautiful unspoilt island.
Tailor your itinerary
Why have an off the shelf holiday when you can go bespoke? Here are a few suggestionson how we can start to tailor make this itinerary into something really special that suits you to a tee.
The Bridge Over The River Kwai - Thailand
This tour takes you to the beautiful province of Kanchanaburi where you will take a trip back in history at the River Kwai and its famous bridge. You will visit the war cemetery and a reconstructed POW camp that now houses a museum.
After that, experience what will probably be the most spectacular part of the tour: the train ride across the bridge and along part of the original “Death Railway”. Here you will enjoy the views of the river and take in the spectacular scenery. The train slows down at the most impressive viewpoints en route to ensure you will be able to take some stunning photos.
Enjoy your lunch at a local restaurant.
Ancient Ayutthaya by River Cruise - Full Day
Ayutthaya lies about an hour’s journey by coach to the north of Bangkok and was the proud and powerful ancient capital of Siam until its destruction, 230 or so years ago. Much of the fabulous ornate city was lost at that time but what remains will still give you an excellent idea of life during the 4 centuries that the Kings of Ayutthaya ruled. You will also visit the nearby summer palace of the present modern day Chakri dynasty.
After the sightseeing, you will travel by coach for approximately 1 hour to join a cruise boat at Wat Chong- Lom Pier for a leisurely boat ride (approximately 2 hours) back down the Chao Phraya River to River City Pier taking in all of the splendid scenery and typical Thai water-borne life on the way.

“Hong” means room in Thai, and the visit to this peaceful and untouched island allows you to enjoy the crystal clear water, unspoiled
nature as well as fish and coral. The attractions in the trip are Hong Island, Lading Island, Pak Bia Island and a visit to the swallow bird
