Day 2: Bangkok’s finest temples and Thonburi canal tour
Thailand is known as a wonderland of golden pagodas. That is the reason why whenever coming to this country, every tourist should stop to visit at least one of their temples.
First of all, we recommend you to start your tour at Wat Traimit. This is the largest solid golden Buddha in the world. There is a 5.5-tonne statue of Buddha that dates back to the 13th century. The second floor has a wide range of 3D presentations demonstrating Chinese traders’ history in Bangkok while the 3rd floor contains the full story of the Golden Buddha so you can learn about the history of the sculpture as well as the temple thoroughly.
Next, continue your tour at Wat Pho, an impressive temple on the old city streets. The special thing about this temple is the “Lion Sleep” position of the Buddha statue inside it. After finishing seeing this sheer-size temple, you can visit the magnificent Grand Palace. It has such a vast ground with so many dazzling buildings representing Thai-Buddhist architecture such as Wat Phra Kaew.
Then, in the afternoon, you can meander through the old-fashioned canals and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of life on the traditional “long-tail” boat. After that, pay a visit at Wat Arun, which is located on the west bank of Thonburi to explore the 79-meter tower.

Day 3: Discover Phuket and Khao Sok National Park
One day discovering Bangkok is enough, now let’s fly to another famous place in Thailand.
Our first option is Phuket. From here, join transfers to Khao Sok National Park to immerse yourself into the oldest evergreen rainforest over the globe, amazing caves, breathtaking lakes, huge mountains and even more.
There are 2 centers of activity at Khao Sok National Park. The first one is the headquarters and the second is the floating bungalows which are 65 km east.
At Khao Sok National Park, you can see wide varieties of animals such as elephants, gibbons, 5 kinds of monkey as well as numerous rare bird species. Eye-catching types of flowers are available, too. The best time to visit this park is from May to October.

Day 4: Full-day Cheow Lan Lake boat trip
Cheow Lan Lake is 165 km2 and is the highlight of Khao Sok. Here, tourists can take a tour to visit a cave, go trekking, go for a swim, rent a kayak and also have lunch at a raft house, which is the well-known floating bungalow in Khao Sok National Park.
For an ideal day at Cheow Lan Lake, we recommend you to start off at a colorful local market to enjoy the early atmosphere of the local people. Next, cruise the lake in a longtail boat. When you reach the perfect area to swim, immerse yourself in the green water and then, you can choose between go hiking, go kayaking or hang out at the National Park to relax.
This tour is great for removing all the stress away. With a private guide accompanying you, we can make sure you will have an unforgettable experience in Thailand.
