Your itinerary in brief —
Embark on a 10-17 night tour to explore the best of Thailand. Begin in Bangkok, where long-tail boats thread the Chao Phraya, and the air carries the scent of jasmine and charcoal smoke from roadside kitchens. Then move down to Koh Samui for endless stretches of sand and calm waters, where coconut palms lean over quiet coves and evenings settle into soft pink light over the Gulf. Continue to Koh Phangan, an island of forested hills and hidden bays, where jungle paths lead to empty beaches and the sea turns a deep, glassy blue by late afternoon. Return to Koh Samui for a final stretch of unhurried days, with time for slow swims at first light with the tide moving steadily in and out.
