Nature meets the beach in idyllic surrounds on this 12-day Southern Thailand tour. Explore the region’s most picturesque coves and immerse yourself in the tranquility of local rainforests, coming face to face with some of Thailand’s most colourful creatures.

Fly into Phuket and transfer to Khao Lak enjoy a full day at leisure at your resort. This gives you time to shake off any jetlag, acclimatize to the local culture, or visit Thai Muang National Park Beach. Just be careful if visiting between November and April as this is a popular turtle nesting spot, where late-season you can see young hatchlings making their dash to the sea. Transfer to Elephant Hills Camp, staying in luxury tented accommodation as you lend a hand feeding and bathing these majestic animals while learning about efforts to preserve them. A traditional Thai dance performance or a cooking demonstration are options for your evening.

Take a long-tail boat ride on Cheow Lan Lake, admiring its hundreds of tiny islands and high limestone mountains. Then explore the ecology of the local rainforest, keeping your eyes peeled for cheeky primates as you weave through this gorgeous ecosystem. Take a short water safari the next day into the side channels of Cheow Lan Lake, then transfer to Krabi, famous for its limestone cliffs and exquisite wellness retreats. Follow the Krabi River, and you’ll soon find yourself in a mesmerizing landscape of mangroves, monkey forests, and thriving river communities that preserve traditional lifestyles. A day at leisure lets you enjoy Krabi’s beaches or even a spa day.

The next part of your trip, on Phi Phi Island, is all about relaxation and winding things down a notch. If that’s not your style, there are scenic hikes with terrific views over the archipelago, plus some sublime bays to explore. Last but not least, transfer to Phuket, arguably the most famous of Southern Thailand’s islands. One last tour takes you to explore Phang Nga Bay, visiting the dramatic ‘James Bond Island’ featured in The Man With the Golden Gun. You’ll explore more pristine areas, enjoy a picnic lunch, and have the chance to swim alongside tropical fish before returning to your hotel for one last night in paradise.

Phuket

Known as the "Pearl of Thailand," Phuket offers pristine beaches, lush vegetation, traditional villages and seascapes of huge limestone pillars that rise above the turquoise waters of Phang-Nga Bay. With a culture all its own, it combines Chinese and Portuguese influences with that of indigenous ocean-going people. Phuket Town is the island’s capital located in the southeast. The architecture features the attractive Sino-Portuguese style which is reflected in the spacious residences built by wealthy Chinese tin barons as testimony to their success. Visitors come because of the glorious beaches, especially those on the west coast. Patong Beach is about a 45-minute drive from the port and offers a wide selection of watersports. Phuket still casts its spell on all who come to its shores.
