Day 1 - 4
Phuket – Grand Expeditions on Land and Sea
Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, is an inspiring destination that is teeming with diverse cultural experiences and entertaining highlights. After you check through immigration, you will meet your private limousine transfer and journey to Surin Beach. Here, you will stay at a premier 5-star resort, which will be just a minute’s walk from the shore. Your accommodation will exude opulence with its harmonious architectural design and first-class amenities. The professional staff will welcome you with friendly smiles and direct you to your extraordinary penthouse. Fit with your own private rooftop pool, your stay in Phuket will be the perfect island retreat.
On the evening of your first night, revel in a marvelous gourmet meal with ocean views. You will catch wafts of fresh seafood cooking on the grill as you sip on elegant cocktails. Peer out at the horizon, and you will witness the sun slowly give way to the night, and as it sets, the sky turns crimson and shares a picture-perfect backdrop for your delectable dinner. The following day, you will meet your expert tour guide, and discover many intriguing facets of Phuket’s rich culture and rugged landscape as your guide imparts valuable insight along the way. Wat Chalong is an immaculately-kept, gold-adorned temple that glistens under the sun. As you uncover its deep history, you will be filled with great admiration for the peoples’ spiritual practices. Afterward, you will set off to the majestic Big Buddha where you will encounter a momentous 112 feet tall statue of Buddha that towers over the entire island. You will capture unforgettable memories with uninterrupted vistas from the heights of this viewpoint. Your tour will culminate with trips to idyllic beaches, and you will feel worlds away as you dig your toes into the soft white sand and wade in the glimmering azure waters.
To conclude your adventurous stay in Phuket, you will transfer via private speed boat to the Similan Islands for an impressive Scuba diving experience. The archipelago boasts some of the most magnificent diving destinations in Thailand. Accompanied by professional guides every step of the way, you will feel completely safe as you swim amongst schools of hundreds of fish and encounter rainbow-colored coral reefs. You will laze around on the pristine beaches before you return to Phuket later this evening. Your final few hours in Phuket will be spent at a premier culinary school. In the morning, you will venture to an authentic market nearby in search of desirable fresh ingredients where you will feel the buzzing energy around you as you weave through the elaborate stalls. After you have collected your produce, you will learn to master the art of traditional Thai cuisine with the help of a revered, local chef. You will also be awarded a certificate to showcase your newly acquired skills before you depart Phuket.

Reviews of Zicasso's Referral Service

A huge shout-out to Zicasso's trip coordinator, who orchestrated this incredible trip for us. Each outing was better than the previous one; our guides were awesome, both fun and informative; the hotel selections were just what we wanted, intimate and special. And everything was scheduled like clockwork.
Despite epic rainfall (which led to flash flooding in areas of Chiang Rai and, in fact, prevented normal access to the Black House Museum), they carried on, delivering every bit of our planned itinerary on time and to a tee. This type A control freak (me) never felt the need to “manage” a thing, which speaks volumes about this tour operator's extraordinarily high level of organization, communication, and coordination.
Thank you to everyone involved. It was clearly a team effort. We are most grateful for the magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience you made possible for us.

Zicasso's travel company was amazing! I cannot say enough good words about this company and all the people we worked with!
We planned our honeymoon to Thailand with our travel specialist. He gave us a call shortly after we filled out the contact form. We talked about what we were hoping for on our vacation and what kinds of hotels we like to stay at, etc. Our specialist was very responsive over the whole planning process and would send us sample itineraries until my partner and I were completely happy with the whole trip. His suggestions were thorough and we didn't have to do any research on our own.
We did a trip around the whole country: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, a couple of national parks, and Koh Samui. We had mostly private tours and they were all fantastic! The drivers and tour guides were all friendly and knowledgeable.
Each night, our contact messaged us all the details we needed for the next day. It was super-helpful and allowed us to relax more knowing someone was there for us. We really enjoyed our experience and would be happy to work with this travel company again!

We had a great trip to Thailand with our Zicasso trip planner. They set us up with a very helpful guide in Bangkok, who made it easy from the time we stepped off the plane, through all the temples, activities, night markets, tuk-tuks, and boats.
Our hotel in Bangkok was great, with nice views and a nice breakfast buffet. We took the free hotel ferry to the shopping mall and it was a lot of fun.
Our resort in Koh Samui was incredible. It had a great beach and pool. The elephant sanctuary and the cooking class were highlights. We would probably pass on Pig Island next time as it was very dirty and we saw pigs getting attacked.
Overall, we had a great time and the tour guide took care of us completely, from start to finish.

We had an amazing, nearly three-week trip throughout Southeast Asia. Zicasso's tour operators did an incredible job planning all of the details of the trip. In general, I am not easily impressed and I tend to be pretty upfront with my criticism. In this case, I was truly impressed. I really don't have any criticism about the whole experience.
This was a very complicated trip, with eight cities/locations and six internal flights. We had great communication in the months and weeks leading up to the trip. They were receptive to all of our requests and they gave very good advice when we had questions.
All of the guides were great. The hotels were amazing and all of the details of the activities, transfers, and internal flights were well thought out and well coordinated. I was so impressed by their attention to detail. They were also willing to be flexible and able to make changes, even during the trip. I was able to reach them throughout the trip by WhatsApp and they responded quickly every time. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.
