Night spent on the plane, arrival the next day.
Early morning arrival, fast-track airport formalities and private transfer to the heart of vibrant Thonglor, which is home to some of the capital’s most sought-after bars and restaurants. Three-night stay on a residential street, just a few minutes from the BTS Skytrain - your room is available immediately. Inspired by the heritage homes of the Sukhumvit district, the accommodation’s interior evokes local history through carefully chosen details. Each space boldly interprets materials and objects from the past. Although there is neither a pool nor a garden, you will find a rooftop terrace and a charming restaurant with Thai and Chinese influences. For now, you rest and settle in, and get a feel for the neighbourhood.
Scheduled - Bangkok in the footsteps of a local. Accompanied by an expatriate who has lived in Bangkok for several years and loves Thailand, the whole family dives into the fascinating bustle of the capital. Follow in their footsteps, and let your own wishes and those of your children guide you. Set off to discover hidden neighbourhoods, lively markets, and street food. A relaxed stroll suitable for all ages, unfolding along the water, and offering an authentic and captivating way to discover the culture, the city and its people.
Things to do and see- Two major cultural sites: the Royal Palace, with Wat Phra Kaeo (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), and Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha). The Emerald Buddha, carved in the 15th century from green jade, is housed in the royal chapel. It is a revered symbol of the ruling Chakri dynasty. You also visit the throne room, the coronation hall and the state reception room. Wat Pho is undoubtedly the oldest temple in Bangkok (late 18th century). It houses a monumental reclining Buddha statue, gilded with gold leaf (entering nirvana). It is 46 metres long and 15 metres high. The soles of Siddhartha Gautama’s feet are inlaid with mother-of-pearl: 108 symbols of the Buddha. Within the temple, a traditional massage school welcomes you to entrust your feet to the students, who will leave them feeling relaxed, supple, and light.
Optional - Family-friendly private tour of Bangkok.
Private transfer to the airport, then flight to Surat Thani. Welcome and transfer to reach Khao Sok National Park. Two-night stay in a bungalow on stilts on the edge of the jungle. In this little corner of paradise, the local monkeys are an integral part of the decor, strutting along the simple yet cosy rooms. The charming manager, May, shares all the tips you would expect from a local host. Breakfast, overflowing with fresh fruit, home-made sweet treats and artisanal jams, rivals those served at the finest establishments.
Optional - Meeting with elephants, camp-fire and night safari.
Khao Sok National Park, located between Phuket, Krabi, Khao Lak and Koh Samui, is a true wonder. Here, you find yourself among jungle landscapes, some of the oldest tropical rainforests on the planet and limestone cliffs, lakes and mysterious caves. This is the home of long-tailed macaques, langurs, and the rarer pythons and cobras. Around Khlong Seng, you meet gaurs, wild elephants and gibbons. The days are shaped by walks and hikes which, however easy, always offer wonderful surprises.
Optional - Cooking class with a local host.
Scheduled - Excursion on Cheow Lan Lake. You board a traditional boat for a journey through fascinating lakeside landscapes including peaks, pinnacles and caves. After lunch on board, spend the afternoon water sports. The afternoon is devoted to the joys of swimming and canoeing. At the end of the day, after a short ride on a long-tail boat, you reach a small cluster of floating lodges set in the heart of the tropical jungle. Studios and villas, flooded with light, blend harmoniously into this setting of lush green mountains. This will be your shelter for the night. The white walls, the light wood covering the floors and framing the headboards, and the ceiling fans spinning their blades overhead create a soothing atmosphere. Large picture windows look onto the lake, giving centre stage to the surrounding scenery. The experience continues at the restaurant, which also offers a view, and showcases traditional Thai flavours.
Scheduled: morning boat safari. This is the perfect time of day to spot groups of macaques quenching their thirst, a monitor lizard basking in the sun, dusky leaf monkeys leaping from tree to tree, or gibbons starting their morning chorus. You all disembark for a walk in the jungle to learn more about the local wildlife and the different species of plants found in the park. A little later, you enjoy lunch on the water before heading back to shore. Transfer to Kuraburi pier and boat crossing to Ko Phra Thong. Four-night stay in a charming wooden villa nestled between 12 kilometres (7 miles) of fine sandy beach and lush vegetation. Everything is set for you to fully and peacefully enjoy the final days of your family trip.
Here, far from the hustle and bustle that defines some Thai islands, you find a secluded and intimate retreat that invites you to switch off: early morning yoga sessions, long walks on the beach, kayaking trips, snorkelling, relaxing massages, sunset aperitifs, barbecues on the sand…
Scheduled - The Ko Ra Nature Reserve. This adventure on Ko Ra Island - on the other side of the bay from your accommodation - begins with a short speedboat crossing. Then, after a quick climb through the dense tropical forest, you cross the island in the shade of lush foliage until you reach a small secluded beach at lunchtime - perfect for a picnic and a refreshing swim in the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea.
Optional - A morning fishing off Ko Phra Thong.
You have most of the day to enjoy the island: a short morning hike inland, relaxing on the beach or a massage at the spa - the choice is yours. In the late afternoon, cross back to the mainland, drive to Phuket airport, fly to Bangkok, then take your international return flight. Night on board, arrival the next day.
