Explore Thailand on this cultural lover's dream! 

From the crazy streets of Bangkok to protected natural wonders of the south; meet elephants, kayak through ancient mangrove forests, indulge in world famous cuisine, connect with a beautiful Moken community, giveback to mother nature and have a whole bunch of fun!

Join a small group, eco tour and discover the vibrant wonders of the 'Land of Smiles'.

Welcome to the Land of Smiles!! And what a spot to start your adventure, none other than the big, culturally rich, bustling city of Bangkok! One of the Chasin crew will be waiting for you at the airport and will whisk you away through the crowds and into the craziness of the Khao San area. Today is your day to settle in - wander through the markets and pick up a pair of elephant pants to strut your stuff in or grab a Chang and watch the world go by. If you’re up for it tonight we will catch up for a bite to eat and venture out together.

Rise and shine Chasin crew, we have a big day ahead of us! Cure any dustiness from last night with some tucker for breakfast and get ready to hit the city. We’ll be jumping in boats, checking out markets, visiting temples and learning all about the culture of Thailand. Tonight it’s our official ‘Welcome to the Chasin Thailand Tour’ dinner, so kick back and get ready to eat! 

We are heading to Hua Hin today, via Mae Klong. This great little Thai city is known for its markets, the most famous being the train market - picture a market on a train track, that has to give way to four trains a day! Umbrellas, shade shelters and baskets get pushed back, rolled in and folded away for a few minutes while it passes, then it all comes back together… mind blowing! We will take you to one of our favourite restaurants for a local lunch, then it’s time to hit road and head south to the ELEPHANTS! 

This will be one of the highlights of the trip. You can see these gentle giants happily living in a sanctuary (WFFT) that’s all about helping them and many other rescued animals live an amazing life. 

This morning we'll be leaving our new four- legged friends and heading to Hua Hin town. This afternoon we can chill by the pool before heading out to the famous night market for some delicious tucker, a spot of shopping and maybe an outdoor, street style massage.  

We've met some rescue elephants, now we are going to take a safari into a national park and see if we can find some wild ones. 

We’ll be travelling local style and if you’ve got a love for karaoke then prepare for a bit of fun this evening. Hit it sister! 

Get your headphones out, today is one of our travel days to get to Koh Phayam. We’ll be in a private bus, speed boat and a tuk tuk.

After checking into our 4 star, beachside hotel the afternoon is yours to swim in the calm ocean or sip on a pina colada by the pool. 

Tonight we want to welcome you to the island with a family style dinner on the beach. 

Hello paradise & hello Koh Phayam!

The next three days will be where you roll up your sleeves, get hot and dirty and experience something like no other. 

We will be working with the local community of Moken, Burmese and Thais to better their lively-hood and help create a sustainable future for them. And of course some beach cleaning and a marine conservation workshop. 

The work may change from time to time, but with all things Chasin, we'll be making small steps that lead to big differences. 

A local style lunch will be included each day.

Good Bye Koh Phayam, see you next time! Today is another travel day, further south to the province of Krabi. You want to keep your eyes open for today's trip, loads of little towns, high, jagged limestone rocks and lush vegetation. 

After the day of travel you’ll be tired and we know the spots for a good feed, so dinner is on us.

It’s time for a day on the water with Fast Manta for some snorkelling and island hopping!! The islands in the south of Thailand are really something else. Slip on a shirt, slop on some sunscreen and slap on a hat, lets hit the water. 

Oh, did I mention we’ll be teeing up with a citizen science program who takes coral health and shark populations very seriously... well, we are!

Being with nature has so many benefits!

So today we are going to immerse ourselves into more natural environments and learn about the conservation efforts being done.

Nature Mind-Ed will take us kayaking through ancient mangrove forests and around limestone cliffs, we'll probably meet some monkeys and we might get wet. It's going to be a brilliant morning followed by an organic lunch and a visit to the sacred mountain.

Then we can enjoy an afternoon sunset together down by the beach.

Who is up for soak in some natural springs that are surrounded by lush, tropical rainforest? 

Me, me, me!!

Say no more, lets go and enjoy!

One last day together and what better way to spend it then ocean side. Railey beach is a short boat ride away from our accommodation and the perfect spot to sit and soak up some rays or explore the island.

To finish off the tour, a hoo-roo dinner is on Chasin.

If you are off on your own way, we'll be having big hugs and saying good bye for now. 

If you're staying in Thailand one more week then we'll be flying to Koh Samui around midday. Tonight the night market is on, get ready to try more food, check out the shopping and enjoy a cocktail and a dance.
