About The Trip:

The Southern part of Thailand is renowned for its long-white sand beach, beautiful crystal sea, and people's unique way of life.

This program will lead you to the south of Thailand via the eastern coast from Bangkok to Chumporn.  Then change the direction of travelling to the western coast, past Ranong, Kuraburi, Takua Pa , then turn left to Khao Soke and end at Krabi. And on the way to the South, you will have chances to take leisure on different beaches - Chumporn and Krabi.

It is also a very good combination trip between nature & culture elements, which allow you to observe beautiful landscape & scenery, and people's way of living along the way from the central plain to the southern part of Thailand . Some interesting places and exciting activities are also added for your enjoyable trip.

On the way of travelling, we will have chance  to visit all interesting and non-tourist places such as Wat Sathatham & Tha Ka Village in Samut Songkram, where local people still keep their Thai Central Plain's way of life - stay near canal & produce sugar from coconut juice & produce dessert from coconut sugar.  Visit Wat Yai Suwannaram, the most beautiful temple in Petchburi style of art; and Phra Nakorn Kiri Historical Park in Petchburi.  Phra Nakorn Kiri, built by King Mongkut (King Rama IV) as his Summer Palace , is located on the top of small hill known as Khao Wang (92 meters tall). Take a cable car up hill and walk three hills ( 2 hrs. altogether ).  In Prachuap Kirikhan, visit Hwa Ko Scientific Centre, situated on the beautiful white sand beach.  From Prachuap Kirikhan to Chumporn, we will travel along the beautiful coastal road with stop to visit the fishermen village. In Chumporn, we will have an amazing activity - boat trip into the sea for squid catching and seafood BBQ on board in the simply best romantic atmosphere (this activity may be canceled in monsoon season (usually June-October), but special seafood BBQ dinner will be offered instead). We will have nice time to taste fresh fruits in local orchards (orange, mango, rambutan, durian, etc up to its season).

After turning the direction to travel along the western coast to Ranong, we will have an ample time to visit La-Un mangrove forest, the biggest & most perfect one in the Southeast Asia , and visit some beautiful view points and small waterall. From Ranong, we will travel to Khao Soke, observe the rainforest and overnight on the Tree House for 1 night. The real relaxation will be at eco-friendly Somkiat Buri Resort (Ao Nang Beach) in Krabi.

On the return from Krabi, take the domestic flight to Bangkok , then the connecting flight back home.
