The first day of this trip starts with your arrival at the Suvarnabhumi Airport. Our representative will be there to receive and escort you to our hotel in Bangkok's city center. We suggest arriving as early as possible to make the most of your first afternoon. In the evening, we will be driven to our dinner venue for a fun welcome social (welcome beverage included; food not included)
As irresistible as it is to stop yourself from hanging out and exploring the nightlife, we suggest going to bed early and having a sound sleep because the next day will be filled with adventure!
Now the fun begins! In the morning, we'll be picked up from our hotel and taken on a tour of the city of Bangkok with our private guide. We'll hit all the major sites: the Grand Palace, which was the first royal residence built in 1782 and still used to this day for large ceremonies, and we'll visit the Reclining Buddha just south of the Grand Palace. This temple is also regarded as the origin of Thai traditional massage. We'll also explore the Golden Buddha, and a number of other temples in the area before heading back to our hotel. The rest of the day is yours to explore and enjoy!
On our third day in Bangkok, you're free to either explore the city on your own, hit a few well-known eateries and do some shopping; or, you can opt to book a tour of Bangkok's famous floating market and train market. These Instagram famous experiences allow you to get some great photo ops while exploring the rich culture of daily life in Bangkok. In the evening, we'll meet up to visit Sook Siam located just a short distance from our hotel. This large food hall is one of Bangkok's largest street food scenes. We'll spend the evening trying different food and beverage vendors, and do some last-minute shopping before our Bangkok departure the next day.
On day four, we'll wake up early to have a light breakfast and then check out of our Bangkok hotel. We'll be transferred to the airport where we'll board our intra-flight from Bangkok to Phuket (flight cost included). Once we land, we'll be met by our Phuket rep and transferred to our beautiful resort. The afternoon is yours to explore the resort - we don't suggest exploring offsite this day.
Later that evening, we'll be picked up from our resort and transferred to our upscale dinner venue (meal not included) for a unique dinner experience.
On day five, we'll take a tour of the Phi Phi Islands by speedboat. The Phi Phi Islands are a Thai island group located between the major island of Phuket and the Thai coast of the Malacca Strait. During the late 1940s, Muslim fishermen settled on Phi Phi Don, which later became a coconut plantation. The name Phi Phi is Malay in origin. Pulau Api-Api (’the fiery isle’) was the ancient name for the islands. After our speedboat adventure, we'll dock for a local lunch before heading back to our resort. The rest of the evening is yours to enjoy.
Walk on the wild side with this private elephant encounter. We'll depart from our resort in the morning and head over to the elephant sanctuary. The sanctuary's mission is to “rehab” disabled, elderly, and commercial elephants from a long life of unfair trade labor. Once we arrive to the camp, we'll get a chance to see these gentle giants up close and personal.
The elephants enjoy being loved on, walked with, spoken to, bathed in mud spas, and pampered so much. We'll spend a few hours feeding and caring for these majestic giants, while also getting a few photo ops!
The latter part of the day is reserved for some self-pampering, recuperation, and rejuvenation at a Thai spa. Caress your senses with herbal oils in the golden hands of masseuses and masseurs while the incense sticks burn in the backdrop spreading refreshing aromas. Absorb yourself in one of the most reinvigorating and soul-satisfying spas in Phuket.
After this day’s extensive activities, you are sure to have a sweet night’s sleep.
OPTIONAL TOUR DAY - Tiger Kingdom Visit or Yona Beach Club Day
On our last day in Phuket, you're given the option to either book a tour of the Tiger Kingdom, join us for an afternoon at Yona Beach Club, or enjoy a completely free day to explore Phuket.
If you've heard of Yona Beach Club then you understand the 'hype'. This is the first FLOATING public beach club in the world. This iconic club is located in the middle of the ocean and offers cabanas, day beds, ocean beds, and a large main pool for your enjoyment. We will have two cabanas rented for our group, and entrance fees are included. Additional meals and beverages are a separate cost. Joining us at Yona Beach Club is completely optional.
OPTIONAL TOUR - Tiger Kingdom
If you're not interested in hitting the beach club, you can also book a tour of the Tiger Kingdom. On this tour, you'll be picked up from your resort and transferred to Tiger Kingdom via private transportation. Entrance into the park is included; however, additional purchases such as photos, food, and souvenirs are at an additional cost. After your big cat experience, you'll be driven back to your resort. The rest of the evening is yours to enjoy your last night in Phuket!
We understand these are uncertain times and want to make sure you feel confident about your options if your plans change.
