Days 1-3

Krabi

Talcum-white beaches, limestone cliffs, mangrove forests and deep dense jungle combine to create a stunning backdrop to the final stop on your trip. High-end, low-key resorts have spectacular settings and views that will take your breath away, and the scattering of islands just off the coast are just waiting to be explored.

Discover Local Island Life – Koh Klang Culture
Krabi

Step off the beaten path and uncover a side of Thailand that few visitors ever experience. This authentic cultural journey invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature and discover the timeless rhythms of traditional village life on the peaceful island of Koh Klang.

Join us for an unforgettable day exploring the rich traditions and welcoming communities of Koh Klang – a place where time seems to stand still. This immersive experience begins in the early morning at Krabi’s bustling local market, where farmers proudly present their fresh produce. A short wander through the charming old town reveals everyday scenes untouched by the surge of modern tourism.

Before crossing the river, enjoy a classic Sino‑Thai dim sum breakfast at a lively yum‑cha spot cherished by locals for generations. From here, your journey continues along the Krabi River, whose vast mangrove forests have sustained and sheltered the region’s people and wildlife for centuries. As your longtail boat winds through the peaceful waterways, keep an eye on the riverbanks, you may spot playful monkeys among the roots.

Upon arriving at Koh Klang, you’ll step into a world where traditional crafts and livelihoods still thrive. Meet skilled boat builders, rice farmers working the fields, and talented batik artists who keep age‑old techniques alive. Each encounter offers a rare glimpse into the island’s deeply rooted cultural heritage.

Your adventure concludes with a delicious lunch served in a floating restaurant hidden among the mangroves, a serene setting that perfectly captures the natural beauty and gentle pace of life on Koh Klang.

Days 4-6

Koh Yao Yai

While it may only be a relatively short hop away by boat, low-key Koh Yao Yai is a metaphorical world away from the bustle of Phuket. This is the place to just kick back and do very little; although it's not an undiscovered island, there are fewer bars, shops and restaurants than its neighbours but it is exactly as you would wish island life in Thailand to be: sea, sand and smiles at every turn.

Days 7-10

Phuket

Thailand's most popular and largest island is lined by sweeping and spectacular beaches. There are beaches to suit everyone, from the party hotspots to quieter beach options where you can kick back and read a book. Alongside the paradise shores, there's a host of cultural sights, such as the towering Big Buddah and Wat Chalong, the island's tallest temple. Shopping fans shouldn't miss one of the Phuket's lively night markets.

Elephant Care Experience in Phuket
Phuket

This half-day trip is a fantastic opportunity to get close to Thailand’s remarkable elephants, where the emphasis is on learning from the sanctuary’s caretakers. After a scenic drive through a local village, you’ll arrive at the elephant sanctuary in a picturesque jungle dotted with ponds, open fields, and hills for the elephants to roam around. You’ll venture into the sanctuary and explore Thailand’s longest canopy walkway and nature trails to locate the elephants and observe them foraging and bathing freely. By keeping a safe and respectful distance, the elephants can express their natural behaviour, play and socialise with each other. Before your trip ends, a delicious vegetarian/vegan Thai buffet lunch is served.

Before lunch, there’s time to visit Chin Pracha House, a Sino-colonial mansion. Wander through the charming streets of the old town and visit a temple before heading to Rang Hill to snap some pictures of the breathtaking panoramic views.
