Krabi is like the younger, more beautiful sister
of a supermodel; the potential to equal Phuket in
fame is there, but – to the relief of her guests
– the masses have yet to take notice. A speedboat
daytrip is an ideal introduction to this land of many
mini-paradises. See the Krabi
by Speedboat photos.
Sure, there’s a trip to James Bond Island and
a tour of a fishing village on the itinerary, but
those are merely excuses to spend a day on glass-smooth
Phang Nga Bay. As comfortable as they are beautiful,
all four boats – June Bahtra I, June
Bahtra II, and Jit Jai – stand ready
to deliver a memorable, relaxing trip through scenery
that redefines exotic. See the Phang
Nga Bay Cruise photos.
Destinations love to use the word “unspoiled”,
though it doesn’t always apply. But Similan Islands
– there’s nine of them in all – are
a lesson in environmental conservation. Protected
as a national park, they are a virtually untouched
playground for snorkelers, divers, and beach connoisseurs.
The softest of sand meets the clearest of water in
what may be the most serene spot in all of Thailand.
See the Similan
Islands Stopover tour photos.
It’s about as strenuous as watching television
in your hotel room, but even high-definition can’t
match this scenery. Paddle – or, more accurately,
be paddled – along the base of dramatic cliffs.
Float through pitch-black tunnels and emerge in secret
circular rooms; the soaring walls are rock and the
ceilings are blue sky. Otherworldly sights, top-notch
service, and all the little things done perfectly
– find out just how fun an afternoon at sea can
be. See the Phang
Nga canoe daytrip photos.
A trip through Phi Phi’s islands by speedboat
is like a paradise sampler platter. Strap on snorkelling
gear and be astonished by the vivid colours below
the surface. Sink your feet in sand that’s as
soft as silk. Swim in electric green water with crystal-clear
views of your feet on the white sandy bottom. Dine
and relax on Phi Phi Don’s northeast coast. And
walk in the footsteps of Leonardo at a filming location
for The Beach – Maya Bay. It’s a whirlwind
tour of incomparable beauty. See the Phi
Phi by speedboat daytrip photos.
Combining two of Thailand’s most famous selling
points – food and animals – the ‘Bites
and Beasts Tour’ might be a better name for Siam
Safari’s 4-in-1 half-day tours. Elephants follow
a show with a lumbering trek through the jungle –
with people aboard. A buffet meal served during a
boat cruise on Chalong Bay caps the day’s excitement.
It’s educational, it’s entertaining, and
best of all, it’s environmentally friendly. Siam
Safari let you have fun and feel good about doing
so. See the Siam
Safari 4-in-1 tour photos.

Island. Visit a second Hong at Hong Island. Discover

"the man with the golden gun" has been shot
in 1974. Have a delicious lunch on board on the way
to Rawa Island to relax and swim. A wonderful day...

Bond Canoe tour photos.
Phuket diving is famous, and it’s no mystery
why – the Andaman Sea is home to some of the
most beautiful dive sites in the world. Elixir Diving
Daytrips is making the most of this and raising the
bar for scuba trips in the region. The speedboat reaches
the dive spots in less than an hour, and the small
number of divers onboard means you always enjoy personal
attention. The Phi Phi Islands trip explores Koh Bida
Nai and Koh Bida Nok, with a tour of Koh Phi Phi Ley
between dives. See the Diving
Phi Phi tour photos.

in luxury tents (African National Parks' style in
a Thai Rainforest environment.)

nights tour at the Elephant Hill Camp and a 2 days/1
night at the Earth Lodge Camp in Khao Sok. See the
Elephant
Hills Safari tour photos.
A lumbering trip through beautiful shaded forest
and rubber tree plantations with incredible views
from the mountainside stretching out over the Andaman
Sea. See fascinating elephant antics such as 'massaging'
against a tree or picking leaves with its trunk, and
be amazed as the large creature deftly navigates a
narrow pathway clinging to the side of a mountain.
After the ride, take a dip in the cool pool at the
base of a waterfall, reached by an easy 10-minute
walk. See the Elephant
Trekking tour photos.
Whitewater rafting, relatively new to Thailand, is
especially good during the months from June to November
which have higher rainfall. This tour, in Southern
Thailand's lush Phang Nga province, takes you on an
action packed ride along mountain rivers fringed with
forest. Be prepared to get wet! Also included is a
visit to the Phang Nga Breeding Centre and the Ton
Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary. An unforgettable day out!!!
