Anantara Siam Bangkok

Start the morning with a trip to Wat Pho, arguably Bangkok's most enchanting temple. Arrive just as the resident monks gather for their morning chants. Witness this deeply spiritual ritual and gain a better sense of Thailand's Buddhist heritage. After the chants, take a walk around Wat Pho and see the vast collection of religious treasures on display. The tour then continues to the nearby Grand Palace, which has served as the seat of Thailand's revered Royal family for more than two centuries. Take a walk around the vast grounds, stopping in to explore the various temples, throne halls and museums within the compound. Visit the Emerald Buddha, the most revered Buddhist image in Thailand, and hear about its mysterious origins. Take a break for lunch in a riverside restaurant, enjoying delicious Thai food with fabulous views. Then continue onwards to visit Wat Trimitr, on the edge of Chinatown, which houses the world's largest solid gold Buddha. Afterwards take a long-tail boat and move away from the high rises of the city and venture through the quiet canals upon which the city was originally built. Catch glimpses of the olden days, passing by charming neighbourhoods built on the water's edge. Return to the main waterway, the Chao Phraya River, to visit Wat Arun and admire its incredible decoration with ceramic tiles depicting figures of Chinese soldiers and animals. After a full day of exploring Bangkok, you'll be returned to your hotel in the late afternoon.

This morning, you'll be picked up for a journey into the lush rainforest of Khao Sok National Park, arriving at Cheow Lan Pier (Ratchaprapha Pier). Here, board a private longtail boat to cross the emerald lake to 500Rai Floating Resort. After check-in, enjoy a relaxing afternoon with lunch at the resort. Later, head out on a tranquil wildlife safari by boat, followed by a delicious dinner surrounded by the serenity of the lake.

Outrigger Khao Lak Beach Resort

Often overlooked, Khao Lak is home to a breathtaking and largely untouched mangrove ecosystem of rivers, forests, and dense jungle, spanning more than 60 square kilometers - and today, you’ll have the chance to explore this remarkable region. Your day begins early with a taxi transfer from your hotel to a pier in a small local fishing village. From there, you’ll set off on a longtail boat, cruising through serene mangrove waterways rarely explored by visitors. Along the journey, there will be plenty of opportunities to pause, admire the scenery, and take photos before reaching our floating base camp hidden deep within the mangroves. From the base camp, you’ll continue your adventure by kayak, paddling through narrow channels and winding streams that weave through the mangrove forest. After your exploration, return to the floating base camp to relax and enjoy light refreshments. You’ll also have time to swim and cool off in a peaceful, secluded lagoon before heading back to the pier, where your taxi will be waiting to take you back to your hotel in Khao Lak.

The Similan Islands, a protected marine national park covering 12,000 hectares, are made up of nine granite islands in the Andaman Sea, celebrated for their dramatic rock formations and breathtaking natural beauty. Renowned for more than 30 world-class dive sites, the islands boast vibrant coral walls, colorful sponges, historic wrecks, and thousands of tropical fish. Even in the shallow waters, snorkelers can discover pristine underwater landscapes with just a mask and snorkel. Explore this marine paradise by speedboat, hopping between islands and enjoying swimming and snorkeling in some of Thailand’s most stunning coastal spots.

Enjoy a magical morning or afternoon mingling with rehabilitated Asian elephants at the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary. This scenic slice of paradise serves as both a sanctuary and home for elephants and forest wildlife. The visit begins with a pleasant ride down a village lane to the grounds of the sanctuary, where you will arrive at the Tree Top Reception and Observation Platform. You will have the opportunity to meet some of the elephants, learn about their individual stories, and understand why they need protection. Following this, we venture into the jungle to find the elephants and observe their natural behavior as they engage in daily activities such as foraging, bathing, and playing in one of the three lagoons. You will also have an opportunity to visit Phuket's first elephant hospital, which provides professional veterinary care for 13 resident elephants and others from across Southern Thailand. For animal lovers who value interactions based on respect and adoration, this is one of Thailand's most heartwarming and memorable experiences. It offers exceptional insight into the remarkable nature of elephants.
