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.

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.

Our trip was to Thailand for almost three weeks. It was a fantastic country to visit. Everything went perfectly right from the start. We are seniors (I'm 90) and, of course, needed help getting around. Zicasso and our travel company made our trip perfect. The guides were amazing. Everything was on time. I can't say enough about how well the whole trip went.

Jon and I want Zicasso’s travel specialist to know how much we enjoyed and benefitted from the wonderful itinerary, great seats on domestic flights, caring and thoughtful tour guides, and more. What a great trip!
We spent three weeks in Vietnam and Thailand. The highlight of the trip was the wonderful guides and the unique itinerary. Great care was taken to arrive at destinations before the crowds and fast-track entrance with a personal guide with knowledge of the culture and history.
With six domestic flights throughout Vietnam and Thailand, we experienced the best of both countries. We loved the cooking classes and elephant sanctuary. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

Initially, I was hesitant to plan a private trip to Thailand, as we have always used organized, small-group tours. Since we were traveling as a family group of five adults, each with a very different agenda, I figured it was worth looking into. Zicasso was great and provided three itineraries, but it was one travel specialist who really listened to what we wanted and provided what turned out to be an absolutely perfect experience.
The whole itinerary was so well thought out. Days with heavy physical activities were balanced with a calmer day following. The itinerary was arranged to accommodate specific markets and events we wanted to experience. Our travel specialist or a team member checked in with us every night to let us know pick-up times and the names of our drivers and guides. Choosing hotels alone can be a daunting task and the travel specialist made great choices for us, with our floating hotel in Thailand being an absolute highlight.
As a traveler, I have learned to expect the unexpected and be flexible, yet this trip went perfectly, from communication to airport pick-ups to the guides and the itinerary itself. We were able to enjoy Thailand and our time together without any of the stress that usually accompanies a trip like this. The only thing that could have made this experience better would have been if we could have stayed longer.

The trip was wonderful. We went to five different places in 17 days. We got to see the best of Singapore, Siem Reap (including a wonderful show that was there just for us), Bangkok, Chiang Mai (where we bathed the elephants), and Krabi. All the stops were great and our guides were all fabulous. We had high tea with Zicasso’s travel specialist and his assistant in Siem Reap. It was nice to meet him. Any minor issue we had, the travel company stepped in and helped immediately. Overall, it was an amazing experience.

We had the most amazing time traveling to Thailand! Zicasso’s travel specialist created a personalized itinerary for us, keeping in mind our preferences the whole time. The trip went seamlessly and each tour guide and driver was on time, with good communication. It was great how the travel specialist and the travel company handled everything, from checking in to domestic flights to coordinating rides and even giving recommendations on days we had no excursions planned.
I would definitely recommend this travel company to family and friends wanting to travel Asia. Thailand was an incredible place and I can’t wait to go back!
