Day 1: Phuket to James Bond Islands, and to Khao Sok
Your adventure begins before dawn with a breathtaking sunrise at Samet Nangshe Viewpoint, where panoramic views of Phang Nga Bay’s limestone cliffs create an unforgettable start to the expedition. Next, board a traditional longtail boat and glide across the emerald waters of Phang Nga Bay, where towering karst formations rise dramatically from the sea. Explore the legendary James Bond Island, venture into hidden caves, and paddle through secluded lagoons only accessible by canoe. Soak in the serenity of untouched beaches before indulging in a delicious Thai lunch at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, journey into the lush wilderness of Khao Sok National Park. Check into your peaceful jungle retreat, surrounded by misty mountains, and enjoy free time to unwind. End the day with a flavorful Thai dinner, before falling asleep to the sounds of nature.

Day 2: Khlong Phanom National Park and Choew Larn Lake
Fuel up with breakfast before setting off on a challenging and rewarding jungle trek deep into Khlong Phanom National Park—an experience found nowhere else but on this adventure. This rugged trail winds through dense rainforest, ancient trees, and towering limestone cliffs, leading you to the almost untouched Tham Kaew Cave, a true hidden gem. Inside, navigate through vast chambers filled with living stalactites and stalagmites, their shapes and colors unlike anything you've seen before. This cave is home to unique wildlife—keep your eyes open for rare cave creatures as you explore its mysterious depths. After an exhilarating trek, enjoy lunch before heading to the emerald waters of Cheow Lan Lake and to your floating raft house, surrounded by towering limestone karsts. Relax, swim, or simply soak in the breathtaking scenery. As the sun sets, embark on a boat trip to the Guilin of Thailand, where dramatic rock formations reflect perfectly in the still waters. End the day with a Thai dinner with local fish before drifting off to sleep, floating in one of the most stunning places in Asia.

Day 3: Khao Sok National Park to Phuket
Wake up early for a magical morning safari on Choew Lan Lake, where the mist lifts off the water, revealing a world of wildlife in its natural habitat. Watch as the jungle stirs to life while you glide through this pristine paradise. After breakfast, check out and begin your journey back to the pier. After short drive you’ll start your river exploration adventure, where you’ll journey through the lush rainforest on either a canoe, bamboo raft, or tubing (depending on the season). As you float down the winding river, keep your eyes peeled for monkeys swinging from the trees, snakes basking along the riverbanks, and an array of vibrant wildlife thriving in this pristine ecosystem. This intimate experience gives you a rare chance to connect with the jungle and its fascinating inhabitants. Enjoy a delicious Thai lunch afterwards. Before heading back to Phuket, visit the stunning Wat Bang Riang, perched high in the mountains, to immerse yourself in the local culture and traditions. Don’t miss the towering Kwan Yin statue, the Goddess of Mercy, bringing good luck to all who visit. Finally, take a reflective moment to unwind before returning to Phuket, with memories of an adventure few have ever experienced.
