Day 1–3

Bangkok

Arrive in Thailand’s bustling capital where you will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel in the heart of the city. Over the next three nights, enjoy time to discover Bangkok at your own pace. Explore magnificent temples including Wat Arun and the Grand Palace, browse colourful markets, or take a traditional longtail boat through the city’s canals and along the Chao Phraya River.

Bangkok is also one of the world’s great food cities, offering everything from Michelin-recognised street food stalls to elegant rooftop dining. Spend your evenings soaking up the city’s vibrant atmosphere, perhaps with cocktails overlooking the skyline or a visit to the lively streets of Chinatown.

Day 4–5

Elephant Hills Jungle Safari, Khao Sok

Leave the city behind as you journey south to the stunning rainforest landscapes of Khao Sok National Park for your stay at Elephant Hills. Take an early morning short flight from Bangkok to Surat Thani where you'll be collected by Elephant Hills and transferred to camp. Please note that flights must arrive before 9am.

This award-winning experience combines soft adventure, nature, and ethical elephant encounters in one of Thailand’s most beautiful regions. Meet rescued elephants in a responsible environment, learn about their care and the work of the mahouts, and experience the jungle in a truly immersive way.

Activities include canoe safaris, jungle exploration, and opportunities to discover the incredible wildlife and scenery of Khao Sok. You'll also Visit the Lake Camp with a cruise down Cheow Larn Lake. For those who would like to experience a night on the lake itself, you have the option of upgrading to the Jungle and Lake Safari - Applicable for guests of 7yrs and over. 

This is a truly memorable experience and often the highlight of any Thailand holiday.

Day 6–10

Khanom

After your rainforest adventure, you'll be transferred by road (approx. 4 hours) to the peaceful coastline of Khanom for five nights of relaxation at Aava Resort & Spa.

Far quieter than Thailand’s more developed beach destinations, Khanom is perfect for those seeking tranquillity and natural beauty. Spend your days unwinding on the beach, relaxing by the pool, or enjoying the calm waters of the Gulf of Thailand.

For those wishing to explore, there are waterfalls, caves, local temples, and traditional fishing villages nearby. No stay in Khanom is complete without taking a boat excursion to spot Khanom’s rare pink dolphins. Please talk to your sales expert about who can arrange this for you via the hotel. 

With its laid-back atmosphere and natural beauty, Aava Resort provides the perfect ending to your Thailand escape.

Day 13

End of Holiday

Today your adventure comes to an end with a transfer to Surat Thani airport for your flight home.

Or, if you’re not quite ready for your adventure to end, why not continue exploring more of Thailand and Southeast Asia? We highly recommend adding a stay in Koh Samui, where palm-fringed beaches, luxury resorts, vibrant nightlife and laid-back island life make the perfect extension to your trip. Just a short ferry transfer and accomodation at SALA Samui Choengmon would be the perfect way to end this fabulous holiday.
