Bangkok & Island Escape - Tailor-Made Tours, Luxury Holidays & Tours | My Way Travel USA

On arrival in Thailand, you'll be met by your private guide, who will accompany you to your hotel.

You'll be driven through Bangkok's old town to the City Hall to start your street food experience, stopping first at Wat Suthat, one of the city's oldest and largest Buddhist temples, and the towering red pillars of the 'Giant Swing'. Wander through the small streets of Phraeng Phuthon, a protected heritage neighbourhood lined with preserved colonial shophouses. From local stalls, sample traditional Thai coffee, vegetable-stuffed dumplings, and a popular Thai dessert. Drop into a local market to marvel at the variety of fresh seafood and tropical fruits, with your guide at hand to identify any foods you don’t recognise! We recommend trying the homemade coconut ice-cream made from a family recipe that has been handed down through generations. Take a break from eating to visit the Taoist Tiger God shrine, guarded at the door by two tiger statues, and a Buddha manufacturer - a somewhat surreal workshop full of Buddha icons in various sizes and forms. From here it’s just a short walk back to the Giant Swing, where you'll be driven back to your hotel. The rest of your day will be at leisure.

Drive to Trat where you will board the ferry to Koh Chang. On arrival, transfer to your hotel and the remainder of your day will be at leisure to kick back and relax.

Your days will be at leisure to relax and dig your toes in the sand.

After a leisurely morning, your guide will escort you by boat to Koh Kham, a pretty private island which boasts a powdery white sand beach, where you can spend the next few hours relaxing, swimming and enjoying lunch. Later in the afternoon, take the boat to your hotel on Koh Mak, where the remainder of your day will be at leisure.

Take a boat trip to the islands of Koh Rang, 12 small uninhabited islands which are popular with divers and snorkel enthusiasts due to excellent marine life, beautiful coral reef and crystal clear waters. Pass deserted, picture-postcard beaches, enjoy an on-board picnic lunch, and stop to explore the underwater world (snorkelling equipment will be is provided). Return to Koh Mak by mid-afternoon, whence the remainder of your day will be at leisure.

Your day will be at leisure to relax on the beach.

Quieter and less developed than neighbouring Koh Chang, Koh Kood is frequently touted as the most beautiful island in Thailand, and having spent time on its pristine white-sand beaches and crystal clear waters, we’re inclined to agree. Days here are spent relaxing, snorkelling and kayaking; evenings are similarly low key. Your entire stay will be entirely at leisure, apart from a tour of the island with your guide.

Take a boat to Koh Kood, where, on arrival the remainder of your day will be at leisure to relax on the island's pristine white-sand beaches and swim in its' crystal clear waters.

Your guide will meet you in a songthaew, the local form of transport, to visit some of the island’s most attractive beaches, and a waterfall hidden deep in the forest. After time to swim in the clear waters at the base of the waterfall, stop at a fishing village which is home to both Thai and Cambodian residents for stroll and an insight into local island life. It's very much a working fishing village, with no tourist souvenir shops and just a handful of seafood eateries. After lunch at a local restaurant, return to your hotel, where the rest of your day will be at leisure.

One final day of R&R.; Soak up the serenity!

Depart by ferry to Trat, where you will be met and driven to Bangkok airport for your onward flight.
