Tour Itinerary
Itineraries are customisable as per your request
The schedule below is a suggested plan and can be adjusted to suit your preferences.
Day 1 : Rachaprapa dam (Chiewlam lake)
Begin with a long-tail boat journey across Cheow Lan Lake, passing dramatic limestone formations and hidden corners of the reservoir. After checking in to the floating accommodation, enjoy free time to swim, kayak, sunbathe, or simply relax surrounded by nature. Afternoon, head into the jungle on a moderate trek to a lagoon before continuing by bamboo raft to Coral Cave before trekking back to the lake. Evening, enjoy another boat ride and evening safari followed by dinner at the raft house.
Day 2 Morning Safari
Rise early the following morning for a boat safari across the mist-covered lake. With some luck, you may spot wildlife such as gibbons or wild elephants, although sightings are naturally unpredictable. After breakfast, check out and return by long-tail boat before heading back to Khao Sok.

The price does not cover personal expenses, additional food and drinks, gratuities and optional tips and khao sok national park fee (340 thb for adults and 170 thb for children), pay cash on spot.

Not in rough sea. The Andaman side is calm from November to April and choppy from May to October, when the marine office can close the piers at short notice; if that happens the operator moves you to the next day or refunds in full. Seasickness tablets the night before help on speedboats, and Maya Bay itself closes to visitors in August and September each year.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The dry season from November to April offers the best weather for island-hopping tours and beach activities. December to March is peak season with calm seas, perfect for Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay boat trips. May to October (monsoon) is quieter and cheaper but some boat tours may be affected by rough seas. See our Phuket travel guide for detailed month-by-month advice.
Phuket is one of Southeast Asia's safest tourist destinations with excellent infrastructure, friendly locals, and a strong tourist police presence. Standard precautions apply: use reputable transport, stay aware in crowded areas, and book verified tours through trusted platforms. For water activities, all our tours include safety equipment and experienced crew.
The top experiences include: the Phi Phi Islands for snorkeling and Maya Bay, Phang Nga Bay for dramatic limestone cliffs and James Bond Island, the Big Buddha for panoramic views, Wat Chalong temple, and the charming Phuket Old Town for street food and Sino-Portuguese architecture. See our things to do guide for the complete list.
Yes! Direct flights between Phuket and Bangkok take just 1 hour 20 minutes. We recommend 3–4 days in Phuket for island tours, then 2–3 days in Bangkok for temples, markets, and street food. Our local guides operate in both cities for seamless trip planning.
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering water sports before booking any speedboat tour or island-hopping excursion. While all our boats carry safety equipment and licensed crews, Thai hospital costs can be significant without coverage. Ensure your policy covers emergency medical evacuation and water activity accidents.
