Day 1–6: Koh Samui
Start your adventure in Koh Samui, where pristine beaches meet the warmth of the Gulf of Thailand. Stay at a family-friendly beachside resort, complete with a choice of kids' activities and luxurious facilities for the adults.
During your stay, explore local attractions like colourful night markets and visit the Big Buddha Temple where you can admire the towering golden statue while soaking in views of the island. For those looking for a touch of adventure, take a family boat trip to Ang Thong National Marine Park, where emerald-green lagoons and limestone cliffs provide a beautiful backdrop for kayaking and snorkelling.
Day 6–9: Chiang Mai
Fly north to the cultural capital of Thailand, Chiang Mai, a city famous for its unique blend of ancient history and modern energy. Spend your days wandering through the Old City, discovering centuries-old temples like Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Phra Singh. Next, you can add-on a family-friendly Thai cooking class, where your kids can learn to make their favourite Thai dishes.
Don’t miss out on Doi Suthep, a temple perched on a mountain overlooking the city. The lantern-lit climb up its 300 steps leads to panoramic views and a gleaming golden shrine. End your evenings exploring Chiang Mai’s bustling night bazaars, bursting with handcrafted goods, fresh juices, and a lively atmosphere.
Day 9–11: Elephant Hills
Your final destination is Elephant Hills in rural Southern Chiang Mai, an experience that combines luxury camping with a rare opportunity to engage in ethical wildlife tourism. Staying in carefully designed African-style tents along the Ping River, you’ll spend your days here watching elephants in a way that respects their natural behaviours.
Watch these gentle giants roam freely as their knowledgeable caretakers share their expertise in conservation and ethical care practices. Other activities include jungle treks through lush greenery and kayaking along calm rivers. Evenings bring delightful meals served in the glow of the sunset at this unforgettable animal haven.
