Your Destinations —
Exhilarating, colourful and fun, Bangkok is a city that leaves you wanting more. Discover a city of sparkling palaces and gleaming temples where visitors rub shoulders with saffron-robed monks. Hold onto your hat as you sweep along the river in a long-tailed boat admiring riverside architecture and observing everyday life for families living in stilt houses.
Hunt for bargains in the street markets where the vendors are disappointed if you won't enter into some friendly haggling over price. Escape the noise and heat of the streets by browsing the designer shops in the dazzling, air-conditioned shopping malls.
In the late afternoon meander through the open space of Lumphini Park and watch the locals at play and then get a good view of the city, as the sun goes down, from high up in one of the many rooftop bars. Finally board a converted rice barge for a delicious Thai dinner cruise.
Where better to be at one with nature than Elephant Hills, whose luxury tented camps are situated in Khao Sok, part of Southern Thailand’s largest stretch of primary rainforest. A selection of adventure tours are available with several activities included, from simple forest walks to lengthy treks, scenic canoe trips, sailing through the mangroves on a traditional Burmesejunk and an unforgettable Elephant Experience.
All¬activities are in small groups and are accompanied by knowledgeable guides. Evening activities include cookery demonstrations and dance performances by local schools.
With its knock-out beauty, Khao Lak is becoming increasingly popular with overseas visitors who have discovered this haven for relaxation. The combination of long stretches of unspoiled beach, crystal clear blue sea and virgin mountain wilderness make this area particularly attractive to tourists looking for a peaceful vacation in the Land of Smiles.
Apart from pure beaches and sea, Khao Lak is located closely to Thap Lamu Port where divers and excursion boats depart for Similan Islands; one of 10 most beautiful diving site in the world. Khao Lak is the nearest land point to the small archipelago, counted among the 10 most interesting dive sites in the world, well known for the world class reefs and crystal clear waters surrounding the islands.
Khao Lak has been known as a very close to nature vacation refuge for some time. The calm and natural atmosphere makes a pleasing contrast to many other travel destinations in Thailand, such as Phuket, or Koh Samui.
