Description

See the best of southern Thailand’s cities and scenery on this eight-day family adventure. Start strong as you wiggle your toes in the sands of Phuket, then get into the wilds of Khao Sok National Park. Hop aboard a longtail boat to explore Cheow Lan Lake and stop for lunch at a rafthouse. Experience a bit of local life during a homestay in the Phrom Lok District, sharing homecooked meals and learning traditional painting techniques from the families – the kids can pick up tips to bring back to their school art class! Then, spend a day relaxing or island-hopping with the family in Krabi, where you might also go rock climbing or snorkelling, before finishing back in Phuket.

Itinerary

ITINERARY CHANGES Our itineraries are updated regularly throughout the year based on customer feedback and to reflect the current situation in each destination. The information included in this Essential Trip Information may therefore differ from when you first booked your trip. It's important that you review this information prior to travel so that you have the latest updates. Due to weather, local conditions, transport schedules, public holidays, political unrest or other factors, further changes may be necessary to your itinerary once in-country. Your group leader or local representative will keep you up to date with any such changes once your trip is underway and has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if deemed necessary due to safety concerns. , OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES A selection of optional activities that have been popular with past travellers are listed in the day-to-day itinerary. This isn't an exhaustive list and should be used as a guide only for some of what might be available. Prices are approximate, are for entrance fees only, and don’t include transport to and from the sites or local guides unless indicated. All activities are subject to availability, and may be on a join-in basis. It may not be possible to do all the activities listed in the time available at each destination, so some pre-planning for what you are most interested in is advised. When it's recommended that travellers pre-book these activities, look for a note in the Special Information section of the day-to-day itinerary. For most, they can either be organised independently on the day, or let your group leader or local representative know you are interested at the Welcome Meeting and they can assist. Where activities are considered medium or high risk, we work with operators whose safety and credentials we have sighted and assessed. Although it is possible that you may find the same activity cheaper with another operator on the ground, we cannot vouch for the safety or quality of that operator. Medium and high-risk activities not listed above have not been assessed by us and as such our staff and group leader or local representative are unable to assist you with organising these activities. Activities that contravene our Responsible Travel policies are also not listed. Please remember that the decision to partake in any activity not listed is at your own discretion and risk.

Day 1 - Phuket
Sa-wat dee! Welcome to Phuket, Thailand’s largest and most popular island, full of sun-soaked coastal views. With excellent beaches and heaps of restaurants serving delicious local food, you might want to consider arriving with the family a couple of days early. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 5 pm today. After, why not head out for a dinner to get to know your leader and fellow travellers a bit better.
Day 2 - Khao Sok National Park
This morning, say farewell to Phuket and hop on a private transfer to Khao Sok National Park. Along the way, stop in at the Royal Thai Navy Sea Turtle Conservation Center in Phang Nga. Learn about how the Navy rescues eggs from surrounding beaches, see some of the turtles in action and hear about how the centre is helping to support turtles and their habitat. When you arrive at Khao Sok National Park, enjoy a free afternoon to get settled into your surroundings. The national park is home to some of the oldest jungles in the world, surrounded by amazing limestone rock faces and monkeys hiding in the trees. Maybe hit the resort pool with the kids, then later, you might like to take an evening safari with your group, where you’ll head deep into the jungle, looking (and listening) out for animals.
Day 3 - Khao Sok National Park
Start the day by jumping in a private vehicle and travelling through the jungle to island-dotted Cheow Lan Lake. Then, it’s into a traditional longtail boat for a calm sail to one of its islands. This scenery looks straight out of a postcard, with limestone karsts rising almost 1000 m (3281 ft) into the air and surrounding blue-green waters. Trek with the family to an island cave, which will delight the kids with its eerie stalactites, bats hanging above and subterranean streams below. Enjoy lunch in a local rafthouse before having free time to relax, swim or kayak around the lake to search for wildlife. The water is clear and full of aquatic life, and on land, you might spot hornbills, langurs, macaques or gibbons. After, return to your accommodation for the night and fall asleep to the relaxing sound of the jungle outside.
Day 4 - Phrom Lok Homestay
Take a private transfer to the Phrom Lok District this morning, where you’ll get to spend a night on a unique homestay experience. When you arrive, meet the locals and immerse yourself in everyday life as you take on their daily activities and gain insight into their culture. Enjoy a homecooked lunch together, then hop on two wheels for a cycling adventure around the community. Cycle to Phrom Lok Waterfall and maybe cool off with a swim (depending on the season), then discover the leafy Phrom Khiri District. Tonight, you’ll tuck into an authentic homecooked dinner of southern Thai food before trying your hand at the art of batik painting.
Day 5 - Krabi
Start the day with breakfast at your homestay, then head out by bike again to visit a nearby mushroom farm and rubber plantation – you'll also get to see how everyday household items are made from native grasses. After, refuel with lunch back at the village, then say goodbye to your hosts and head to Ao Nang. This resort town is known for its gorgeous beaches, colourful sunsets and limestone islands that jut out from the still seas. After checking in to your accommodation, you may like to take a longtail boat a short distance to the stunning Railay Beach for an afternoon of swimming, relaxing and exploring with your family.
Day 6 - Krabi
Today is a free day for you and the family to do as you like. Maybe find a shady spot beneath the palms, take an ocean dip on one of Krabi's beaches, climb the spectacular cliffs or go snorkelling. You might also like to get out by boat and explore the islands, like Phi Phi Island, Hong Island or the famous four-island tour – every one is more beautiful than the next and home to white-sand beaches perfect for swimming and snorkelling.
Day 7 - Phuket
After breakfast, say goodbye to Krabi and hit the road headed back to Phuket, stopping for lunch along the way. Once you’ve checked into your accommodation, join your leader for a walk around Phuket’s Old Town, learning about the city’s history as a tin-mining hub, wandering past the colourful shop fronts and following the scents of the many incredible restaurants in the area. For dinner tonight, you might like to try one of them for your final group dinner together.
Day 8 - Phuket
There are no activities planned for the final day, and you are free to depart any time. If you’d like to stay in Thailand for longer (it’s recommended), just speak to your booking agent and be sure to ask your leader for their recommendations on the best family-friendly activities.
