13 days - Bangkok, Lanta Island, Khao Lak, Phi Phi Island
Explore Thailand's tropical south and experience some of the best beaches in the world. This itinerary is ideal for a honeymoon trip, anniversary, or simply a fantastic getaway. The adventure begins in Bangkok, Thailand's capital city known for it's glittering golden temples, delectable Thai cuisine, cruises on the Chao Phraya River, shopping galore, and vibrant nightlife. After two nights fly south to Krabi and continue by sea to Koh Lanta, home to an ancient Sea Gypsy race, it is an island of magical sunsets, white sandy beaches, and verdant jungle. Relax in style at the 5-star luxury Pimalai resort. Next up is Khao Lak, located in Phang Nga province approximately 60km north of Phuket. Here you will check into The Sarojin, your luxury resort for the next three nights. During your stay embark on a full day Sea Canoe adventure to explore the brilliant network of crystalline limestone caves, and enjoy swimming, sun-bathing on the beach, or trying your hand at canoeing yourself. Back at The Sarojin perhaps visit Khao Sok National Park for some elephant-riding, take a half-day Thai cooking class with chef by a jungle waterfall, or choose to have a romantic private dinner on the beach. The limit is your imagination. Finally head to Phi Phi Island where you will stay at the deluxe Zeavola Resort & Spa for three nights. Perhaps during your stay visit Koh Muk, renowned for it's Emerald Cave; or Khao Tapu, a solitary pillar in the sea and one of Phang Nga's most popular attractions since being featured in the James Bond movie, "The Man with the Golden Gun." The trip ends with a final overnight in Bangkok.
