Tour Itinerary:
Days 1-2: Bangkok – Surat Thani. Arrival transfer – a group meeting – a walking tour – train to Surat Thani. Sawasdee means Welcome! Our guide will meet and greet you at the airport, giving you information while taking you to your hotel. You will have the opportunity to get some rest until it is time for the group meeting in the evening when you will meet other members in your adventure group. We will discuss together the itinerary and share ideas of the things you would like to see and do on your tour. On the second day is a tour on foot to experience a different side of bustling Bangkok. Your local leader's aim is to make sure that you see as much as possible of the everyday life of Bangkok and its people.
What better way to do that than to combine your walk with as many different modes of public transport as possible - boat, bus and Skytrain. Stops on the tour will normally include a couple of interesting Buddhist, Chinese or Hindu temples, a flower market, Chinatown and Little India. Don't forget that no entrance fee is included as the places visited can be very much varied, according to the group’s interest. In the evening you will board the train for the overnight journey to Surat Thani, with second-class air-conditioned sleeping berths provided.
Days 3-4: Khao Sok National Park. Bus to Khao Sok - free to explore the park Khao Sok National Park is 656 sq. km. of dense rain forest with waterfalls, limestone cliffs, numerous streams, an island-studded lake and many riverside walking trails. Your options include lazing around your simple forest huts near the bank of Sok River or choosing one of various trails and go searching for signs of wildlife including elephants, serow, banteng, gaur or dusky langur as well as a multitude of bird species. Don't forget that the park entrance fee of 200 baht is not included in the tour price as your accommodation is just outside the park perimeter.
Days 5-6: Ko Samui. Bus and boat to Ko Samui - at leisure. After taking a public bus to Surat Thani to connect with the ferry to Ko Samui you will have lots of free time for relaxation: swimming, sunbathing and exploring the island.
Days 7-9: Ko Tao. Boat to Ko Tao - at leisure. Continue your island hoping to Ko Tao, or Turtle Island (named for its shape). A remote island north of Ko Samui with some of the Gulf of Siam's best scuba-diving waters, for those who are keen to learn to dive where better place to start than Ko Tao?
Days 10-11: Bangkok. Boat and train to Bangkok. Take the public ferry back to the mainland, disembarking at Chumphon ready for the night train to Bangkok. Our trip finishes on arrival at Bangkok train station at about 07.00. Please check with your local tour leader for onward travel arrangements.
