Tour · 11 nights · with Explore Worldwide
A small group escorted tour from Explore Worldwide tracing Thailand’s diversity, from Bangkok’s frenetic markets to Khao Sok’s rainforest and Koh Lanta’s quiet beaches.
Highlights
Chao Phraya River cruise at sunset in Bangkok
Scenic train ride over the Bridge on the River Kwai
Stay in floating bungalows on the River Kwai
Walk through limestone caves at Khao Luang in Phetchaburi
Boat trip and rainforest walk in Khao Sok National Park
This 11-night escorted tour with Explore Worldwide begins amid Bangkok’s mix of ornate temples and relentless street life, including an evening plunge into Chinatown’s street food stalls. The journey continues west by classic local train along the River Kwai, where rustic floating bungalows await beside jungle sounds and historic crossings.
Journeys
After a visit to caves and wetlands near Phetchaburi, the tour shifts south with a train ride to Khao Sok National Park, a patch of ancient rainforest hemmed by limestone cliffs. Days here can be spent wandering forest trails or drifting on the emerald waters of Cheow Lan Lake. The final stage relaxes with a few days on Koh Lanta, an island of long beaches and mellow pace, offering everything from an ethical elephant sanctuary to boat trips among the neighbouring islets.
The trip concludes with time in Krabi, known for easy airport access though its busier seaside atmosphere. It’s an unhurried route that balances moments of history and nature with active travel and rest, all with a small group travelling at a sensible pace.
