Detailed Description

Thailand’s momentous collection of islands offers a wealth of charming experiences within uncontested tropical landscapes that you will adore discovering over these two weeks. Beginning with a brief stay in Bangkok, your journey will allow you to enjoy the opportunity to uncover the fascinating energy that blankets this modern metropolis. Luxury is boundless across a cityscape that boats 5-star hotels, prestigious restaurants that are crested on mighty skyscrapers, and decadent river cruises along the Chao Phraya River, all of which you will have the option enjoy. Afterward, you will transfer to Koh Samui’s sun-bathed shorelines and boulder-bordered crescent bays, where gentle waves chant to the backdrop of idyllic limestone isles. With the fresh flavors of an elegantly mixed pina colada to welcome you, you can luxuriate in island-style bliss as you overlook the cerulean sea. Soul-nourishing spa therapy and an invigorating yoga session will awaken your senses the following day to put the cherry on top of your introduction to the islands.

Located short speed boat trips away from Koh Samui are the less-visited but no less magnificent islands of Koh Tao and Koh Pha Ngan. Each island offers contrasting charm in the spectacular experiences that they provide, and your voyage will begin with secluded snorkeling over the coruscating coral reefs that lie off of Koh Tao’s coast. You can unwind as you sunbathe on the beaches or hike to sweeping viewpoints before setting off to Koh Pha Ngan and escaping to its northern headlands. Though famous for its monthly full moon party, which you can partake in if your selected days align with the event, you will get acquainted with the stellar scenes from the intimacy of your handsome hideaway villa. On the other side of the spectrum, Koh Pha Ngan is one of Thailand’s coveted scuba diving destinations, which will provide you and your partner with the unforgettable opportunity to obtain your diving certifications and enter the depths of the sea in search of the wondrous life below.

You will then make your way to Koh Racha Yai on a great escape as you retreat to the island’s 5-star resort to bask in serenity on a private beach. This evening, you will welcome an esteemed chef into your villa for a personal barbeque for just the two of you. In the morning, you will venture out to explore the island and learn more about the local’s eco-friendly stance. Koh Lipe will allow you to step off the beaten path and surround yourselves with the wilderness.

Your final destination, Phuket, needs little introduction because it is the premier travel destination of Thailand. Though popular for a multitude of reasons, you do not need to worry about being overwhelmed by the crowds. Knowledgeable tour guides will guide you through the island’s celebrated cultural diversity and lead you on sensory-enlivening tours of its cuisine. Immersed in the heritage and with cherished images to memorialize your journey, you and your partner will leave Thailand amazed to have experienced it together.

Thailand Travel Review: Culture, History, 9 Nights

It was a well-planned trip. Zicasso’s travel specialist really listened to our likes and dislikes and tailored the trip accordingly. We received competing proposals initially and the plan prepared by the travel specialist was clearly tailored to us and far superior to the more “canned” approach proposed by others.

Thailand Tour Review: Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Elephant Sanctuary, 10 Night Trip

Our overall trip was exactly as we had planned. Arrival into Thailand was a little confusing, but Zicasso’s travel specialist helped right away. The information he gave us about arrival was on the travel statement, just small print at the bottom of the page, and I didn’t notice it. Correspondence with the travel specialist was excellent from start to finish, with all questions answered promptly.

Thailand Tour Review: Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Phuket, Elephant Rescue Facilities, 13 Nights

This trip was planned out perfectly to all my wants and desires. Zicasso’s travel specialist created one of the best experiences we've had. Having been on trips planned by other travel groups, I think this surpassed them by cost and coordination.

All the guides were excellent and we were never left without someone to contact. All the drivers arrived on time (even early) and we were contacted ahead of time about who and where to meet each person (sometimes with photos of who would be picking us up).

The independent excursions that were arranged were excellent, with knowledgeable and personable guides.

The transfers to and from the airport were coordinated to perfection, and the travel specialist’s office contact even did the check-in process for the flights from Chiang Mai to Bangkok to Phuket. She also completed the immigration form for us for arrival in Thailand.

I can go on and on, but I can't say enough good things about the travel specialist’s coordination of our trip and how beautiful Thailand is in country and people.
