Bangkok to Bangkok – 8 Days
Begin your Thai adventure in Bangkok, seamlessly transferred from the airport to your accommodation. The journey swiftly transitions to the tropical island of Ko Samui, renowned for its stunning beaches and clear waters. Here, relax on the beach or explore the local village at your leisure. A highlight includes a boat trip to Ko Mat Sum and Ko Taen, where you can kayak or snorkel, immersing yourself in the area's natural beauty.
From the island serenity, move to the lush Khao Sok National Park. Engage in a night rainforest trek and savour a unique campfire dinner. The park offers a range of activities, from hiking to canoeing, amidst its rich biodiversity. Your adventure then leads you to Krabi, where a private longtail boat reveals majestic mangroves and limestone caves. Explore local communities and traditional practices on Ko Klang island. The trip concludes with a return to Bangkok, encapsulating a blend of Thailand's tropical allure, rich culture, and natural splendours.
TROPICAL ISLAND EXPLORATION IN KO SAMUI: Begin your journey with a flight to the beautiful island of Ko Samui. Experience a traditional longtail boat adventure to Ko Mat Sum and Ko Taen, offering pristine beaches, snorkelling in crystal-clear waters, and stunning natural scenery. Enjoy a leisurely day filled with water activities and local culinary delights.
KHAO SOK NATIONAL PARK ADVENTURE: Immerse yourself in the lush wilderness of Khao Sok National Park, Thailand's largest rainforest. Engage in a night trek guided by a community expert, witness the park's diverse wildlife, and enjoy a campfire dinner under the stars. Opt for jungle hikes, river canoeing, or a boat tour to explore this ecological wonderland.
CULTURAL IMMERSION IN KRABI: Travel to Krabi, renowned for its stunning coastal landscapes. Experience a unique cave exploration at Khao Khanap Nam, and visit Ko Klang island to learn about local trades like rubber plantation and batik making. Revel in the opportunity to relax on beautiful beaches or engage in kayaking and snorkelling in the Andaman Sea.
The difference with the Asian Geographical is, that each of our holidays is designed with extreme precision of a mountaineering expedition.
Explore southern Thailand's serene beauty, from Ko Samui's tropical beaches to Krabi's stunning coastlines. Delight in rainforest adventures, vibrant sea explorations, and mangrove journeys by longtail boat. Immerse in the charm of traditional villages and hidden coastal retreats, capturing Thailand's tranquil and natural grandeur.
