Southern Thailand Nature Immersion

Upon arrival in Krabi or Phuket, you’ll be welcomed by your personal guide and driver who will escort you to Khao Sok National Park. Check in at Thanyamundra Organic Resort, a working organic farm and refined nature retreat overlooking green rice fields and forest. The resort specializes in holistic wellness and farm-to-table dining, so you can spend your first night here simply unwinding or head out on an optional bamboo rafting trip or night safari.  

After plucking fresh, organic ingredients for your breakfast right from the resort's on-site organic garden, you’ll get ready to trek into beautiful Khao Sok National Park. Connect with nature as your guide leads you through the lush jungle, sharing insights about the region’s flora and fauna. End your hike by cooling off with a river swim and then head back to the resort to get ready for a private candlelit dinner that immerses you in the flavors, scents, and sounds of nature.  

Board a traditional long-tail boat to sail around Cheow Lan Lake in the heart of Khao Sok National Park. Explore Guilin Rock, a picturesque spot renowned for its dramatic limestone karsts, as well as Pra Kay Petch Cave, where you’ll be awe-struck by extraordinary coral stones and sculptural stalactites and stalagmites. Stop at a floating house homestay on the lake where you’ll enjoy a Thai lunch and have time to swim or kayak in the inviting surrounding waters.  

Leave the rainforest behind and head to the coast, where you’ll arrive at your private Beachfront Pool Villa at Devasom Khao Lak, a resort nestled among tropical gardens and coconut groves on a scenic stretch of beach fringing the Andaman Sea. Spend the afternoon swimming in the pool, walking the beach, or simply soaking in the views.

Enjoy a full day at leisure. You can take one of your resort’s kayaks out to explore the surrounding waterways, or tour the local village, temples, and mangroves by bicycle. Or if you’re in the mood for a slower pace, relax by the pool and enjoy a massage at Devasom’s spa.

Take a scenic speedboat ride to the Similan Islands, a pristine natural paradise that boasts some of the best snorkeling and diving in the region. Arriving at a protected bay, walk along the icing-sugar beach, take a short trek up through the jungle for panoramic views of the postcard scenery, and then gear up for snorkeling. Spend the afternoon weaving through a colorful underwater world of vibrant coral reefs, spotting marine life including clownfish, sea snakes, and gentle sea turtles.

Spend your final day as you wish—swimming, napping, or walking the quiet sands of the beach. Then toast to your journey with a sunset dinner of delicious, authentic Thai food at Takola restaurant.

After breakfast, a private transfer takes you to Phuket Airport for your onward journey. You’ll leave Southern Thailand refreshed, relaxed, and with a new appreciation for the natural beauty of this spectacular area.
