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.

Khao Sok National Park:

• 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.

Khao Sok National Park:

• 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.

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.

Krabi:

• 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.

Optional Experience:

• Island Explorer Cruise

Krabi:

• 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.
