You’ll spend today sailing around the Andaman Sea, soaking up the coastal vistas of limestone rock formations, talc-white beaches and islands cloaked in mangroves. There’ll be stops throughout the day for swimming and snorkelling. Plus, you’ll explore James Bond Island, a place so pretty it bagged a starring role in The Man With The Golden Gun. Hong Island is also on the itinerary – a real castaway spot with some of Thailand’s clearest waters. Your arrival at Lawa Island will be timed for sunset, and then you’ll sit down to a buffet dinner. Expect a big helping of fresh-from-the-net seafood, alongside spicy Thai curries.
Are you brave enough to spend a night in the rainforest? This tour takes you deep into Khao Sok National Park, one of the world’s oldest, to experience Thailand off the beaten track. You’ll ride an elephant through the mangroves, before swapping your new friend for a wooden canoe. Your river tour will steer you past some of the park’s most ancient trees, and you’ll spot plenty of birdlife among the grassy banks. There’ll be a hike to a waterfall, too. When you reach the cascading falls, you’ll be introduced to the earth’s largest flower – the rafflesia. These blooms can grow to 75cm wide. The trip spans two full days, and you’ll bed down in a rustic tent, falling asleep to the sound of the rainforest wildlife.
This trip lets you tick off all of Phuket’s must-dos in one hit. You’ll tour the spectacular Phang Nga coastline, which is pockmarked by limestone rock faces and islands coated with mangroves. There’ll be time to explore James Bond Island, so-called because of its starring role in The Man With The Golden Gun. And, you’ll stop off at Panyee Island or ‘The Floating Village’, a place built entirely on stilts. Maya Bay is on the agenda, too. It fronts Koh Phi Phi Leh, an island so picturesque it was used as the backdrop for Hollywood blockbuster, The Beach. You’ll bed down for the night here, so you can wake up to the same exotic surroundings before you sail back to Phuket.
