Private tour of the klongs by long tail boat, tour of the Grand palace and Jim Thomsons House
A few exciting nights in Bangkok offer an abundance of culture and fun. Take a private long-tail boat tour of the city’s water dwelling communities before exploring the lively Rattanakosin district, or visit a nearby rooftop bar for a view of the cityscape at dusk. Begin your second day with a guided tour of the Grand Palace, the architectural and cultural heart of Thailand. The royal buildings and temples here, especially the revered Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), provide a fascinating insight into Thai artistry and history. A short walk away is Wat Pho, home to the famous Reclining Buddha. On your final day in Bangkok, visit the Jim Thompson House, a masterfully restored teakwood home that once belonged to the mysterious American silk magnate before heading further into the modern Siam district. This area is known for its contemporary art spaces, shopping centre, and diverse dining options
Private tour of Angkor Wat by foot and by tuk tuk including sun rise visit
Get ready for a private tour and sunrise visit of Angkor Wat, an ancient Hindu-Buddhist temple complex and the largest religious structure in the world. Arriving in near-darkness, you’ll experience the gradual illumination of the temple’s towers. The atmosphere is one of quiet reverence, far removed from the crowds that will arrive later in the day. From there, a tuk-tuk ride takes you through the ancient city of Angkor Thom to the iconic Bayon Temple and Terrace of the Elephants, followed by an exploration of its detailed bas-reliefs and towering spires. You’ll also visit the overgrown ruins of Ta Prohm and the intricate carvings of Banteay Srei. This tour balances key sites with quieter, less-frequented temples, offering a nuanced perspective on Khmer architecture and history.
Overnight in the jungle, overnight on a floating raft on the lake, private boat experience amongst the karsts
You’ll take the short flight back to Thailand en route to Khao Sok National Park, one of Thailand’s most pristine natural environments. Experience one night immersed in the jungle, and another on a floating raft on Cheow Lan Lake. The journey on a private boat takes you across the Lake, where towering limestone cliffs rise from emerald-green waters. You’ll explore caves, remote inlets, and dense rainforest, home to diverse wildlife such as gibbons and hornbills. A guided trek through Khao Sok National Park to hidden waterfalls is also an option. Enjoy staying in floating bungalows, offering a tranquil base from which to appreciate the serene beauty and biodiversity of the region.
Transfer to Samui and relax on the beach
It’s onwards to Koh Samui for some well deserved rest and recuperation. After your transfer, you’ll have time to unwind on the island’s serene beaches, where soft sands and clear waters invite relaxation. Beyond the beach, the island offers strolls through local villages, visits to hidden temples, and quiet coastal viewpoints. Samui’s understated charm lies in its blend of natural beauty and tranquil ambience, making it an ideal retreat for unwinding after more active explorations.
