Overview
Your journey begins in Bangkok, Thailand’s bustling capital. Spend your days exploring the Grand Palace, visiting sacred temples like Wat Pho, and taking boat rides along the Chao Phraya River. In the evenings, sample authentic Thai dishes at street markets or enjoy a sunset drink with a view of the city skyline. Bangkok offers a wonderful introduction to Thailand’s blend of tradition and modern living.
Next, you will travel to the River Kwai, a region famous for its history and natural beauty. Staying at the Float House River Kwai, you will have the unique experience of living right on the water. Surrounded by jungle-covered hills and calm river views, this part of the trip offers a slower pace. Here, you can take boat rides, explore nearby caves, or simply relax on your private deck. All meals are included during your stay, so you can fully enjoy local flavours without a worry.
The final part of your trip takes you to Phuket, Thailand’s largest island and one of its most famous beach destinations. With soft golden sands, crystal-clear waters, and a lively atmosphere, Phuket offers something for everyone. Spend your days swimming, snorkelling, or exploring hidden beaches, and your evenings enjoying fresh seafood and local markets. Whether you choose to relax on the beach or join in on island adventures, Phuket will be a perfect ending to your holiday.
