Detailed Description

Families flock to Thailand to discover its illustrious landscape, rich culture, and sandy shores. These remarkable highlights can be found on all of the Thai islands, which you will rejoice in exploring with your family over 14 luxurious days. A staple on any island-hopping tour to Thailand, Phuket will be your first destination, and it will not disappoint as you uncover the sublime scenery with thrilling activities that will be fit for your entire family. After a day to get acclimated to the island life, you will hurdle across jungle settings to the scent of fragrant wildflowers and the echoes of the inhabiting creatures.

The following day, you will slow down to witness the less-traveled island of Koh Yao Noi from the comfort of cozy bicycles. During this cycling experience, you will glide past evergreen pastures and golden rice paddies for a peaceful, wildlife adventure. Finally, before you continue your expedition to your next island, you will jump into a safe river raft and hurtle down the streams that dissect Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary in Phang Nga Bay. Whitewater rafting in Phang Nga Bay provides a wealth of sights to behold from rocky cliffs that slope toward the river to colorful birdlife that inhabits the canopy.

Krabi is part of Thailand’s mainland, but it remains a tropical paradise that is well worth a stop during your island-hopping tour. There is a garden of marvelous limestone isles that are littered across the Andaman Sea off the shores of Krabi. You will sweep along the water aboard a luxurious speedboat to appreciate the serenity of these destinations. In the waters of some of Krabi’s beaches live bioluminescent plankton. As you swim under the twinkling night stars, the water around you will light up with a hue of bright blue as the plankton comes to life in the dark sea. Witnessing the bioluminescent plankton will be an unforgettable experience.

You will then venture to Koh Samui the following morning for regal treatment among its tourism development that has been designed to showcase the best of Thailand’s islands. Elaborate dining establishments hug the coastline, where fresh fish sizzles on heated pans to be flawlessly curated into award-winning dishes. You will indulge in Thailand’s fabled cuisine as you indulge in a behind-the-scenes tour to premier restaurants and beloved, local eateries that will have you treating your taste buds to the impressive flavors of timeless dishes. You and your family will then submerge yourselves in the culinary culture as you learn to prepare cherished meals at an esteemed culinary school.

Your final destinations of Koh Tao and Koh Chang share more of the islands’ idyllic environmental highlights: viewpoints that afford sweeping vistas of emerald mountains, snorkeling spots that are illuminated by coral reefs that are teeming with sea life, and sandy seashell shorelines in which to dig your toes. Moreover, these destinations serve as surreal scuba diving spots should your family wish to witness the beautiful depths below the waves. With the continued guidance of professional instructors, you can swim deeper than ever before to catch sights of incredible sea species in their natural habitats. It is a must-check travel experience that you cannot afford to miss, and you will return home after a few days of complete relaxation with many magnificent tales about your travels.

Thailand Vacation Review: Koh Samui, Elephant Sanctuary, 3-Week Trip

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.

Thailand Vacation Review: Bangkok, Food Tour, Kayaking, Waterfall Hikes, 2 Weeks

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.

Singapore, Cambodia, Thailand Trip Review: Siem Reap, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Krabi, Angkor Wat, Elephant Experience, Food Tour, 17 Days

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.
