Stroll the night market street and try some street food, experience the local life. Feel free to ask your guide for recommendations.
Day 2 - Floating Market & Bangkok Must-See
Depart early morning for a 2-hour drive to the 100-year-old Damnoen Saduak Floating Market located 100 km (62 mi) from Bangkok, one of Thailand’s most famous attractions. Day-in and day-out from about 8 am to about 11 am, the Floating Market is routinely crowded with hundreds of vendors and purchasers floating in their small rowing boats selling and buying or exchanging their goods. You will have a chance to take a ride on a long-tail boat to get a real sense of a floating village. After the long tail boat cruise around the village, you will stop at a transit point where you can choose to further explore the floating market by a 4-seat boat (at your own expense) or stroll around by the river's banks.
After having lunch, you will return to Bangkok, and you will visit Wat Pho, which is one of Bangkok’s oldest and largest temples. Wat Pho was built by King Rama I about 200 years ago and houses the gigantic, gold-plated Reclining Buddha image. This unique image is 49 meters long and 12 meters high with beautifully inlaid mother-of-pearl soles. Your last stop is The Royal Grand Palace, the nation's landmark and the most revered royal monument. You will see the Palace, which is used for many different occasions, and you will see The Coronation Hall, the Funeral Hall, the Royal Guest House, and the mysterious, famous Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), the most revered Buddha image in Thailand.
*Most temples & palaces in Thailand are sacred places, you'll need to respect the strict dress code in place. You'll need to wear pants or a dress/skirt that extends well past your knees, and a top that fully covers your shoulders. No shorts, mini-skirts, short skirts, tight-fitting trousers, tights, see-through shirts, culottes or quarter-length trousers, sleeveless shirts or vests, and Sandals (without ankle or heel straps) etc.
*The Grand Palace does offer a clothes rental service in which you can borrow some stylish trousers and/or tops for a refundable 200 baht deposit from an office near the entrance. Hang onto your claim ticket, however, as you will need it to get that deposit back.
Day 3 - Elephants Sanctuary & Erawan Waterfall
Head to Kanchanaburi and take care of Thailand's gentle giants at ElephantsWorld's Elephant Care program! Get to know the local wildlife, and learn about the history of the sanctuary and the elephants living there. Take care of the elephants by gathering and preparing healthy food for them - sticky rice balls for the old elephants and plant food for the younger ones. Cool down and bathe with the elephants at the huge river down the mountains. Experience washing elephants up close, and don't miss a spot while you're at it! Enjoy the free food and drinks provided, and chat the time away with your local guide.
After lunch, we will drive you to your last stop, which is the spectacular seven-tiered Erawan Waterfall. The waterfall consists of 7 plateaus and you can hike to the highest level through a small jungle path. Possible to swim in the clear water with fish around you. Be sure to bring a swimsuit and towel if you are eager for a dip!
Day 4 - Fly to Phuket & Encounter with Tiger
You will transfer to Bangkok airport for your internal flight to Phuket. This afternoon you will enjoy a private ride to the popular Tiger Kingdom and get close to the amazing Indochinese tigers. All tigers are trained to be tamed since the first day of their life, so the tigers are get used to people and take humans as a family. In the park, the well-trained and experienced staff will ensure your safety but tigers are still wild animals and have to be treated with respect. You can touch, pat and play with tigers in the park. Tigers are big cats and they sleep up to 18 hours, so you may meet them when they are sleeping. If you are lucky, you will see how trainers play with tigers throughout the day. Your Package has included the Smallest Tiger Encounter - our guide will help you buy the tickets upon arrival.
Day 5 - James Bond Canoeing & Loi Kratong Ceremony
Enjoy an afternoon of sea cave exploring literally inside Phang Nga Bay's marine geology, - including the caves and hidden lagoons John Gray found in 1989. Great nature and wildlife surround you.
Our World Famous Entry Trip starts mid-day to avoid the crowds, customized transfers included. Skipped breakfast? No worries - an exquisite Thai-style lunch will be served on board. After lunch, briefing, and a raptor show, a professional guide paddles you through Phang Nga Bay's “Tidal Nape Sea Caves” in our custom-designed kayaks hand-made in Oregon by SOTAR, the World's premier white water raft manufacturer. The unique experience is dramatic, but Caveman's SOTAR custom kayaks are specially designed for your trip. The hidden cliff-lined lagoons are populated with macaques, water monitors, kingfishers, mudskippers, egrets, Sea Eagles, and Brahminy Kites.
We finish after dark by floating our own self-made flower “Kratong” in a spiritual and spectacular Natural light show. Eating our delicious seafood-vegan buffet on the trip back, you return to the pier two hours after sunset.
Guests say our evening Loi Kratong ceremony complete with fireflies and dinoflagellates (bioluminescent plankton) is a "Spiritual Experience", "Best Trip of our lives anywhere", and "Best Thai Food We've ever had – and on a boat".
