Itinerary
DAY 1: Welcome to Bangkok
Today everyone will be arriving at different times depending on flight times. Our team are available for airport transfers between 06:00 and 22:00, and there will be an opportunity to meet in the evening as a group to go for dinner, and an explore around the infamous Khao San Road. Khao San Road is one of the top tourist/backpacker locations in Bangkok, and is filled with street food stalls, bars, restaurants, clothes stalls, and spas to enjoy.
After breakfast, everyone will have an orientation on your time in Thailand. This is a great opportunity to meet everyone else on your trip before you head out on to the Bangkok Tour with one of our local guides. During the tour you will get to experience a boat journey along the Chaophrayah River to two of Bangkok’s most beautiful temples, Wat Arun (the temple of dawn), and Wat Pho (the reclining Buddha), followed by an optional extra tour around The Grand Palace*. At the end of the tour there will also be an option to walk or get a Tuk Tuk* back to Khaosan Road, or perhaps explore a different part of Bangkok during the free afternoon/evening.
Today you will be heading for Chiang Mai by coach. Our team will give you a run through of all of your itinerary and hand you any instructions and tickets you need for the rest of your trip, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey. You will be met on arrival in Chiang Mai by our Elephant Camp team, and transferred to the site, which takes around 1-1.5 hours. The evening will be your chance to learn about the camp, enjoy dinner, and settle into the accommodation.
After breakfast, the day will consist of feeding and bathing the elephants, short treks with the elephants and the mahoots, and assist in making traditional herbal vitamin tablets.
An early start today to being trekking through the lush green jungles. You will be walking through nearby villages and farms, and it’s a chance to take in all of the beautiful scenery Chiang Mai has to offer. Once your trek is done, you will be spending the night in a homestay with a local family on the top of the valley. Your second day will be trekking back down a different route, and you can enjoy bamboo rafting on the river down to the elephant camp on the way! Transfer back to Chiang Mai city in the afternoon in time to venture out to the night markets if you wish.
Today is all your own! Relax, shop, or explore Chiang Mai by tuk tuk!
Transfer to the airport to catch your flight to Krabi. You will be picked up from Krabi International Airport by our local transport to the hotel. Once in Krabi you have free time to explore the area, perhaps relax on the beach, or experience Krabi nightlife.
A morning pick up and transfer to the Bor Thor Mangrove Forest for a kayak experience. You will be surrounded by lush forest and local wildlife as you explore the waterways. There are even caves to visit with drawings dating back 3000 years!
Relax at the local beaches, book some adventurous activities, or enjoy day trips to different islands such as nearby Koh Phi Phi or the secret island of Railay.
Today you will get to see the surrounding islands of Krabi by boat, including snorkelling in clear blue waters in the best spots with a local guide. Lunch is included, and the day will have you back on the mainland in the afternoon for your last night in Krabi.
Say goodbye to Krabi and head back to Bangkok by coach. The journey will be most of the day, and on arrival in Bangkok you will be staying at the accommodation you began at for one final night.
A final breakfast, and its onto your next adventure!
