DESTINATION CHIANG MAI TO MAE TAENG BY TUK TUKS The journey between Chiang Mai and Pai has long been a travellers classic but it’s just got a whole lot better. Using stunning rural backroads, passing through beautiful mountain villages and staying overnight en-route, this is the single best and most adventurous way to get between two of Northern Thailand’s iconic destinations. Oh, and of course you get to drive and travel in your very own tuk-tuk! The Tuk Tuks are pretty easy to master and once everyone is feeling comfortable behind the wheel we’ll head through tiny rural roads, snaking through farming villages and past rural Temples. One of our guides always drives the lead Tuk Tuk making sure that you don’t lose your way and no-one is tempted to go too fast! With frequent stops to explore and, importantly, make sure everyone has a good opportunity to drive, you’ll get a great insight into real rural life in Northern Thailand. Something that’s not as easy to come across as you’d think. You’ll stop for a rural Thai lunch in a remote village well off the beaten track. A great opportunity not only to experience ‘real’ Thai food but also to explore the village and see how people life well away from the main tourist areas of Thailand. You’re back underway as you snake up and down hills, along valleys and through communities as we head to you overnight destination in a very rural community. With lots of stops to enjoy the view, change drivers and even have the odd coffee or two the afternoon will fly by – and you’ll soon get used to the ‘double-take’ as locals can’t quite believe that they’re seeing you drive through their community….in a Tuk Tuk!

DESTINATION BANGKOK TO KANCHANABURI We want to get to know the real, green jungle. On the way there we stop in Maeklong. Here, within minutes, a colorful market turns into a railway line: the train rarely runs, so the track is full of stalls. If it arrives, the shops are dismantled in no time and the tracks are cleared for transit - a real spectacle! Late in the morning we reach Kanchanaburi. There we change from the van into the so-called “Death Railway” and rattle first over the legendary bridge on the Kwai, then on a wonderful route and over breathtaking bridge constructions to the small town of Nam Tok. Here we climb again: this time it’s long tail boats that take us deeper and deeper into the beautiful jungle of Thailand on the River Kwai Nok. Our destination is the River Kwai Jungle Rafts.

At present, this Market still preserves its way of life along the canal and over 140-year-old architecture, and the vendors are members of the community. There you will witness the traditional Thai way of life when the canals were the main transportation means of the Thai people. Our next visit is Nang Yai Wat Khanon National Museum which provides not only an exhibition displaying the history and the making of cowhides, but also hosts performances from the Nang Yai troupe on Saturdays and Sunday. Nang Yai conservation at Wat Khanon is one of the six model communities awarded by the Asia Pacific Cultural Centre for UNESCO for its active role in preserving an intangible cultural heritage. Back on the road again and head to our final destination for the day, Pranburi. Located about thirty minutes south of the crowded town of Hua Hin, it is an up and coming beach area on the Gulf of Siam. Though not as popular as Hua Hin, it offers beautiful beaches, nice views and a very relaxed environment. An ideal stop to refill batteries before heading down South.

The Bay and Beach Dolphin Bay is a pond-like picture of blue-green tranquility, perfect for windsurfing, kayaking, and other water sports. Its gentle waves and shallow waters make bathing in the bay safe for children and adults alike. The 5km long beach is best for jogging or long walks at sunrise or sundown. The pristine waters of the protected bay are a natural haven and breeding ground for a school of gray and pink dolphins, which can be seen from the resort and are even known to swim along with the fishing boats guests take out into the bay on excursions!

DESTINATION PRAN BURI TO KOH KYE The journey will take approximately 3h to Chumphon, one of the lesser known yet most beautiful coastline of Thailand. Koh Kye has a unique feature which is different from other islands. It is actually a “coral graveyard”, which takes the form of a white sand dune, and just as white as an egg! A large amount of dead corals has been gathering on this dune island since Typhoon Gay attacked Chumphon in 1989. As time passes, rainwater changes the colour of the dead corals to white, creating the natural beauty of this unique island. Koh Kye is a sanctuary of peace surrounded with coral reefs and home to a thick jungle. This is where we will set up our camp for the night. Don’t worry, there are plenty of activities waiting for you, including snorkelling in the coral reef among hundreds of colourful fish, or participating in a fun beach volley tournament while the sun sets in the background.

DESTINATION KHAO SOK NATIONAL PARK Wake up to the sound of birds singing and gibbons calling from the treetops. Have breakfast in the early morning as the mist slowly lifts itself from the mountains. Check out and head towards the Cheow Lan Lake. Upon arrival at the Rajaprabha Dam you will board a long tail boat and head deep into a remote corner of the lake. Surrounding you is the giant limestone cliffs, green rainforest, and bold trees rising from the water surface. Around noon, you will arrive at the raft house, where you can check-in to your very own floating traditional Thai style bungalow. It is a basic overnight stay, but the panoramic views and the lake access is the main draw anyway. Explore the area, relax, and take a swim. After a traditional Thai lunch you will go on an afternoon trek through the ancient jungle of Khao Sok. Depending on the season, your guide may take you through a local cave, show you edible plant species, how to find drinking water in bamboo, or how to spot wildlife in the canopy. Please wear closed shoes, suitable for trekking. Return to the raft house in the late afternoon and enjoy a bit of free time to relax, swim and shower. As the sun sets over the lake, enjoy a Thai dinner, and the quietness of the lake; stars sparkling above and nothing but nature around you.
