Southern Thailand’s pristine beaches, lush jungles, and vibrant wildlife create a dream setting for a relaxed but adventurous getaway. The Family Thailand Beach, Jungle and Wildlife tour package is designed for travelers who want to experience the best of Thailand’s natural and cultural wonders in comfort over 13 days, from the buzz of Bangkok to the tranquil shores of Koh Samui.

Kick off the journey in the capital, where a long-tail boat ride through Bangkok’s intricate canal network reveals a hidden side of city life and offers a taste of local flavors. Then, venture south to Khao Sok National Park for guided jungle walks and a peaceful canoe trip amid ancient rainforests—home to gibbons, macaques, and even wild elephants.

The tour continues to the sun-kissed beaches of Koh Phangan, Khao Lak, or Koh Samui, where you’re free to do as much or as little as you like. Whether relaxing on unspoilt sands or exploring the vibrant underwater world, the choice is yours. Unique to this trip, the itinerary adapts between East and West coasts to ensure optimal weather, so you’ll always enjoy Thailand’s best conditions.

This easy-paced tour includes accommodation, transport, meals, and all guided activities, making it an effortless way to explore. While the itinerary is accessible, there are plenty of chances to try kayaking, Thai boxing, and boat trips for those seeking a little more excitement.

The standout feature of this tour is its thoughtful blend of beach relaxation, wildlife encounters, and flexible adventure—making it a perfect trip for anyone who wants a taste of Thailand’s diverse landscapes and culture without sacrificing comfort or convenience.

day 1 - Trip starts in Bangkok

Arrive in Bangkok, the bustling capital of Thailand famous for its street vendors serving up tasty Thai food, bright lights, tuk tuks and khlong boats plying the network of canals and waterways.
For those arriving on time your tour leader plans to meet you in the hotel reception at 6pm for the welcome meeting and for those that wish, there is the chance to go out for dinner.
If you would like to receive a complimentary airport transfer today, you'll need to arrive into Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), which is one hour from our hotel. Should you miss the welcome meeting, your tour leader will inform you of any essential information as soon as you catch up.
If your flight arrives earlier in the day, perhaps you might choose to visit the Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall. This interactive museum is regarded as one of the best in Thailand and helps to bring Bangkok's history and culture to life.

day 2 - City tour by long tail boat and free afternoon to explore the Grand Palace and Temples

This morning, we head to Tha Tien Pier where we enjoy a one-hour cruise in traditional long-tail boats along the klongs (canals). This is the ideal way to explore Bangkok's network of meandering waterways that continue to serve as an important thoroughfare in the city. Along our route, we watch local life taking place around us.
The rest of the day is yours to explore Bangkok at your own pace. You might opt for a sightseeing tour of the Grand Palace and the sprawling Wat Pho complex, home to the iconic 46-metre long Reclining Buddha, a golden- statue representing Buddha's peaceful transition into Nirvana.

The most captivating moment comes as vendors deftly pull back their stalls to make way for an approaching train.
We then continue driving to Khlong Noi where our hosts take us on a short boat ride to their guesthouse. After familiarising ourselves with the charming settings and the opportunity to freshen up in our rooms, we jump back on the boat later this afternoon to explore the surrounding mangroves and fish farms to learn about the local way of life. If you're up for an adventure, you can try planting mangroves yourself - just if you don't mind getting a bit muddy!

Later, we'll make our way to the renowned Phraya Nakhon Cave, a hidden treasure celebrated for its stunning stalactites and the royal pavilion that stands majestically beneath an open ceiling, illuminated by natural sunlight.

The hike takes about 30-45 minutes, depending on your pace with an elevation of 130 metres.
