Bangkok to Phuket trips
Bangkok to Phuket highlights
Explore limestone caves by kayak
It’s one thing to snap some photos of incredibly beautiful landscapes but jumping in a kayak and paddling through them is another thing entirely. Explore Thailand’s waterways – from stunning inlets and secluded caves to mangrove forests full of playful monkeys – with a new perspective and let your sense of adventure take hold as you float gently along.
Refuel with traditional and tasty Thai food
Thailand promises some of the world’s best cuisine so it only makes sense to eat as many traditional dishes as you can while you’re there. You may already be familiar with the flavours of pad thai and panang curry, but there are plenty of other dishes to try, including tom yum goong (hot and sour soup), som tam (green papaya salad), and khao pad (fried rice).
Embrace the island life at Thailand’s best beaches
Undoubtedly known as one of the best beach destinations in the world, Thailand will blow you away with its turquoise water, golden sand, and nodding palm trees. Whether you want to lie out under the sun or go for a dip in water so clear it sparkles, the likes of Kata Beach in Phuket and Nang Thong Beach in Khao Lak will have you utterly transfixed.
Cycle your way through Thailand’s epic landscapes
Sometimes the best way to explore a country isn’t on two feet, it’s on two wheels, and Thailand’s many breathtaking landscapes can be quickly and wholly seen, appreciated, and marvelled at from the seat of a bicycle. From cycling among historical ruins to pedalling past rice fields, enjoy a scenic ride with your group at your own leisurely pace.
Learn about elephant rehabilitation in Chiang Mai
Do you know what’s cooler than watching elephants in their natural habitat? Learning about the conservation efforts to protect them. Do just that at ChangChill (an hour and a half from Chiang Mai) where you’ll be treated to ‘live lectures’ on the elephants themselves and get the chance to see how they socialize with their giant, grey friends.
Visit ancient temples and religious monuments
Religion and culture go hand in hand in Thailand and taking the time out to fully explore these places of worship goes a long way in understanding the history of this fascinating country’s people. From the magnificent architecture to the ornate details, these temples or ‘wats’ (in the Thai language) can be found all over and are a must-do when visiting.

The tour was amazing. Exactly what it says it is. Lots of fun activities kayaking, boat trips, elephants. I really liked Krabi and Khao Lak. Beautiful towns to stay in. Our tour guide Nok was amazing. She organized everything so we didn't have to think the whole trip. If we wanted to do something on our free day or free afternoon she would set it up for us. Made sure that we eat excellent food at very clean places. Gave us fresh bottled water daily. All the accommodation was lovely very clean, but train ride was a bit rough. I had such a lovely time with everyone definitely an experience to remember. Thank you Nok ❤️

This was our first trip with Intrepid and I would highly recommend them to anyone who likes a bit of adventure and likes to see and learn a little more than you would on your own. The interaction with fellow traveler's from different countries definitely adds to the experience and gives you the chance to learn about other destinations you may not have considered.
