Your trip today will start with a long-tail boat cruise along the Chao Phraya River which will offer an open view of the riverside scenery. The boat will take you deeply exploring the narrow river ways winding through local residents and glistening ancient temples. The cruise ends in Wat Arun on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. Then, you will depart for the landmark Wat Arun. 

After that, you will cross the Chao Phraya River to the opposite bank by water taxi. Your second stop will be 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. Lunch at a local restaurant before your visit to the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, undoubtedly the most dazzling, spectacular royal monuments and the city’s most famous landmark. The four must-see temples on today’s tour form the skyline of Bangkok and give the best glimpse for fresh visitors. Then return to the hotel.

This morning you will check out from the hotel and head to Ayuttaya, one of the UNESCO World Heritage list of Thailand. On the way to Ayutthaya, you will visit the Bang-Pa-In Summer Palace, located 60 kilometers north of Bangkok, an impressive architectural blend of East and West dating back to the 17th century.

Continue to Ayutthaya, which was the capital of the Thai Kingdom for 417 years. The city was founded in 1350 by King U-Thong and in 1767 it was destroyed by the Burmese army. Stroll around the ruins of several ancient temples including Wat Phra Si Sanphet, a former royal temple during Ayutthaya's days of glory; Wat Mahathat, where the roots of a tree surround the head of Buddha; and if time allows, Wat Chai Wattanaram, a perfect example of Khmer architectural influence. During the visit, your guide will take you to sample a notable local snack – Roti Sai Mai which is also referred to as 'Sweet Angel Hair'. After the tour, check-in at Ayutthaya's hotel and spend the rest of the day at your leisure.

Morning check-out and departure to Khao Yai. Upon arrival at Khao Yai, you will check in and refresh at your hotel. Then continue your tour right outside the national park boundaries by relaxing and swimming in a clear spring. Later, if you are lucky, you may watch millions of migrating bats flow out from a cave during the sunset.

You will start the morning by doing a driving safari along the road, looking for gibbons, hornbills, and other wildlife. Afterward, we continue trekking into the jungle. After the lunch break, you'll visit Haew Suwat Waterfall, better known for Leonardo Di Caprio's "The Beach" movie, and possibly visit a viewpoint with a wide vista over the national park. Late in the afternoon, we will end the tour by driving a safari in search of elephants. In the early evening, you will be returned to your hotel.

Today you will head from Khao Yai to Bangkok. Upon arrival at Bangkok airport, connect your flight to your next destination.

Upon arrival at Krabi, you will be welcomed at the airport by our professional guide and then head for your hotel in Krabi. After check in,the rest of the day at your own leisure!

Private pick up from your hotel to Ao Thalane Pier. Then you will be transferred by long-tailed boat from the pier to Hong Island. The journey takes about 45 minutes but you will absolutely forget the time once the boat left from the pier. The scenery around Hong Island is very nice with different rock formations. When you arrive at the island then it’s time to paddle the kayak around the island or if you think the paddling is too hard, you may also relax on the beach, feed the fish or swim in the clear water of the Andaman Sea. 

Koh Hong is also called Koh Lao Billeh. This island’s shape is like a half-circle. You will enjoy the spectacular views of the sea and the surrounding islands when you paddle the kayak. There are lots of shallow coral reefs and a breathtaking lagoon (the symbol of the island) to see. Lunch will be served in the restaurant at Ao Thalane. In the afternoon, we will explore Ao Thalane, surrounded by towering karsts formation and lovely offshore islands, complex channels, a bay, and a canyon-like passageway. Recently, this place has been discovered that it is superb for having a first-time encounter with the ecosystem. Certainly, a highlight of the trip is the narrow channels cut through two towering cliffs. Several species of Kingfishers, little Herons, and Crab-Eating Macaques are almost guaranteed to be seen in this area. Ao Thalane has not yet officially been designated as a national park but it may soon become one. Then we paddle back to Ao Thalane Pier, get a change, and go back to the hotel to relax.

Day of leisure. Relax at your hotel or explore the surrounding area.
