Detailed Description
Families flock to Thailand to discover its illustrious landscape, rich culture, and sandy shores. These remarkable highlights can be found on all of the Thai islands, which you will rejoice in exploring with your family over 14 luxurious days. A staple on any island-hopping tour to Thailand, Phuket will be your first destination, and it will not disappoint as you uncover the sublime scenery with thrilling activities that will be fit for your entire family. After a day to get acclimated to the island life, you will hurdle across jungle settings to the scent of fragrant wildflowers and the echoes of the inhabiting creatures.
The following day, you will slow down to witness the less-traveled island of Koh Yao Noi from the comfort of cozy bicycles. During this cycling experience, you will glide past evergreen pastures and golden rice paddies for a peaceful, wildlife adventure. Finally, before you continue your expedition to your next island, you will jump into a safe river raft and hurtle down the streams that dissect Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary in Phang Nga Bay. Whitewater rafting in Phang Nga Bay provides a wealth of sights to behold from rocky cliffs that slope toward the river to colorful birdlife that inhabits the canopy.
Krabi is part of Thailand’s mainland, but it remains a tropical paradise that is well worth a stop during your island-hopping tour. There is a garden of marvelous limestone isles that are littered across the Andaman Sea off the shores of Krabi. You will sweep along the water aboard a luxurious speedboat to appreciate the serenity of these destinations. In the waters of some of Krabi’s beaches live bioluminescent plankton. As you swim under the twinkling night stars, the water around you will light up with a hue of bright blue as the plankton comes to life in the dark sea. Witnessing the bioluminescent plankton will be an unforgettable experience.
You will then venture to Koh Samui the following morning for regal treatment among its tourism development that has been designed to showcase the best of Thailand’s islands. Elaborate dining establishments hug the coastline, where fresh fish sizzles on heated pans to be flawlessly curated into award-winning dishes. You will indulge in Thailand’s fabled cuisine as you indulge in a behind-the-scenes tour to premier restaurants and beloved, local eateries that will have you treating your taste buds to the impressive flavors of timeless dishes. You and your family will then submerge yourselves in the culinary culture as you learn to prepare cherished meals at an esteemed culinary school.
Your final destinations of Koh Tao and Koh Chang share more of the islands’ idyllic environmental highlights: viewpoints that afford sweeping vistas of emerald mountains, snorkeling spots that are illuminated by coral reefs that are teeming with sea life, and sandy seashell shorelines in which to dig your toes. Moreover, these destinations serve as surreal scuba diving spots should your family wish to witness the beautiful depths below the waves. With the continued guidance of professional instructors, you can swim deeper than ever before to catch sights of incredible sea species in their natural habitats. It is a must-check travel experience that you cannot afford to miss, and you will return home after a few days of complete relaxation with many magnificent tales about your travels.
