Itinerary
Touch down in Thailand's capital. After checking into our hotel there'll be time for DIY exploring, a massage or lying by the pool to catch the first of that sweet tropical sunshine. Later we'll rendezvous back at base so you can hear what's in store for the trip, then the night is yours to enjoy authentic Pad thai & the Khao San road nightlife.
This morning why not opt to view the intricacies of the Grand Palace of Bangkok as they are peeled back by a Local Guide, or if that's not your thing, dig into some street food or indulge in a Thai massage. Come evening we'll be riding the comfortable overnight train to Surat Thani.
Good morning train goers! While you were catching up on your beauty sleep, we were transporting you to Surat Thani, less than 2 hours from the paradise that is Khao Sok. Grab some breakfast before we hit the road – you’re going to need the fuel for the fun and frolics that lay ahead. Lush accommodation set amidst the jungle of Khao Sok - don't mind if we do! After you’ve settled into this dreamy new life, the day is yours to explore the lush Khao Sok National Park. Swim, take a canoe tour or just max relax under a canopy of swaying trees. It’s a tough life.
Hopefully the birds wake you nice and early this morning - we've got a solid day of exploring coming up. First on the agenda is a long tail boat ride across Cheow Larn Lake where we'll lose ourselves in the beauty of the limestone cliffs and surrounding wilderness. After lunch we'll stay on the watercraft theme, hopping on a bamboo raft that will take us to the incredible views of Pakarang Caves. Later you can choose to go kayaking, hiking or swimming then we’ll seal off the day with a squad dinner.
Today we transit from one paradise found to another. Waving goodbye to our jungle setting, we head off in search of the ocean-side village of Krabi. By early afternoon we'll be slipping into the island lifestyle of Krabi. For some of us, cocktails and coconuts poolside will be high priority; for others, a poke around the markets and a swim in the ocean overlooking Thailand's iconic vista of islands will be the call of the day. No matter how you choose to kick it, the good times are guaranteed.
Smiles will be broad over breakfast this morning as we settle in for another day in Krabi. A half day cruise of the islands and Rai Lei beach is up for grabs, if you can drag yourself away from pool hangs at our hotel. Either way, a bit of swimsuit action and water submersion is pretty much a given.
Our trip finishes today. Saying goodbye to Thailand won't be easy, but these memories of beautiful beaches, adventures and delicious Thai food will stay in our hearts and memories forever.

This was my first Contiki trip and I was impressed with the communication, organization, and especially our trip manager, Nut. Thailand is gorgeous and the flexible itinerary was great. Easy, simple and seamless process

I can't fault the pre trip engagement from my tour manager Jasmine. She was fantastic, attentive and helped with any questions we had. In terms of booking onto the trip I didn't speak with anyone, having been on 6 contikis previously it's pretty standard on what to do for me now. The trip itself was amazing. So many beautiful places visited. The trip could probably be extended a little longer by heading on to Phuket as well, but otherwise amazing. My trip manager Jasmine was fantastic!! After having so many trip managers. over the years she will be one that I remember. (The Khao Sok Lake river accommodation could be improved a little though. Some rooms have 2x double beds and a bathroom, some have a tiny hut with no bathroom, and bars at the top of the walls letting in mosquitos etc)

Booking with contiki is sooo easy. All information was available and easy to find. My contiki allowed our group to connect before the trip and make friends. Tanut was so funny and an amazing guide. Everything on the activity list was a major highlight and things I will never forget.

Short but sweet; the trip made incredible use of the time ant Tanut (Nut), our guide, was incredibally knowledgable and friendly, always going abo. As above, couldn't ask for a better tour guide; having a Thai national was a blessing.
