Thailand In Style - Absolute Asia Tours

On arrival in Thailand, you'll be met by your private guide, who will accompany you to your hotel.

Step into the flow today on a tour of highlights, some well known, others further off the track. The city is kept in perpetual motion by a buzzing public network whose modes of transport span from ancient to ultramodern, and your transportation today will include a traditional longtail boat, the sky train, and the ubiquitous and exciting tuk-tuk - a combination that ensures you get to explore areas of the city that most visitors don't see. You'll cover a lot of ground, but there's is no better way to truly experience the 'City of Angels'. Start at the wonderful Lumpini Park where locals practice Tai Chi in the morning, before a proper exploration of Wat Pho. Visit one of the oldest traditional Thai massage schools in the country, a handicraft community known for the unique art of making monk’s alms bowls, the historic house of Jim Thompson, a mysterious American silk merchant, and the cutting-edge Siam Square. One key highlight is the Grand Palace, where you can see some of the buildings used for different occasions, including the Funeral Palace, Reception Palace, Throne Hall, Coronation Hall, Royal Guest House, and the Emerald Buddha, the most revered Buddha image in Thailand.

Your day will be at leisure to relax or continue your exploration of Bangkok.

Morning flight to Chiang Rai where, on arrival, you will be met and driven to the Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort. The remainder of your day will be at leisure to relax, get involved in the resort's activity programme and meet the resident elephants.

Indulge in a spa treatment, try your hand at cooking Thai cuisine, get up close to the resident elephants, or simply relax...the choice is yours!

Take a flight from Chiang Rai to Krabi where, on arrival, you will be driven to your hotel. The remainder of your day will be at leisure.

Your day will be at leisure to relax and dig your toes in the sand.

Enjoy a relaxing day exploring Than Bokkharani National Park, an idyllic area dotted with rocky limestone outcrops, hidden caves, soft sandy beaches and jungle-clad uninhabited islands. Board your private speedboat to visit some of the islands, spending most of the day on Koh Hong - one of the largest. Swap your speedboat for a kayak, embarking on a guided paddle around the island’s towering limestone karsts and the island's hidden lagoon, accessible through a narrow passage and surrounded by imposing limestone cliffs. After time on the beach, speed off to other smaller islands in the area, where you'll have the opportunity to snorkel and swim before a picnic on one of the beautiful stretches of sand. Take the speedboat back to Krabi, where the rest of your day will be at leisure.

Enjoy another day of R&R; on Krabi's idyllic sands.
