Highlights: Explore the river klongs by longtail boat; Private tour of Bangkok
Arriving in Thailand, the land of smiles, will leave you grinning from ear to ear. Your Yonder chauffeur will be waiting to whisk you off to The Siam, your Bangkok boutique bolthole. It will be difficult to drag yourself away from the delights of your luxury Bangkok hotel but there’s a city waiting to be discovered on foot, by boat and on the Skytrain, with ever helpful assistance from your knowledgeable Yonder guide. You’ll experience jaw-dropping culture, friendly locals and endless vistas of contrast.
Highlights: Bike around the ancient city of Chiang Mai; Ethical elephant camp; Hike in the magical uplands
You’ll jump on a flight and head to Chiang Rai in the far north of the country. Here, on the border with Burma and Laos, you’ll settle into the Anantara Elephant Camp in the heart of the mysterious Golden Triangle. Aside from pampering the pachyderms and interacting with them during their daily routines, you’ll enjoy venturing out by boat onto the mighty Mekong river to explore the small tributaries, canals and waterways that are the hallmarks of this border area.
Private walking safari with an expert; Tubing on the river Sok; Kayaking on Cheow Lan lake
You jet southwards again towards Surat Thani, where you’ll jump in a car and be driven to the little known Khao Sok national park. Here the prevailing soundtrack is the astonishing song of the gibbons and your view is the oldest evergreen rainforest in the world. The interaction with elephants will continue as your lodge takes great pride in its ethical stewardship of these gentle giants. The towering karsts will be experienced from water level paddling in a canoe over the shimming surface of Cheow Lan Lake.
Highlights: Luxurious lounging on a blissful beach
From the mainland, its a short transfer in a high-speed catamaran to Koh Samui. In a hop skip and jump, you’ll be be settling in at the Six Senses Samui, the very essence of a luxury Thailand beach hotel, where you will spend your first few days on the beach. After your intense voyage of discovery elsewhere in Thailand, you’ll be more than ready to relax on a comfortable sun lounger.
Castaway island paradise; Private speed boat transfer; Complete R&R
Your private speed boat will race you across the the azure sea between Koh Samui and nearby Koh Phangan. You’ll step off into the warm shallows in front of the Anantara Rasananda, one of our favourite castaway beachfront hotels. The arc of sand on Thong Nai Pan Noi is picture postcard perfect. You’ll love it! On your final day, your private speed boat will be waiting to take you back to Koh Samui, where you will catch a flight to Bangkok to connect with your flight home.
