Probably the most visited and remembered landmark of Thailand, The Grand Palace in Bangkok is where every visitor must pay a visit at least once in their lifetime. The construction of the Grand Palace began in 1782 during the reign of King Rama I. The Grand Palace served as a significant royal residence until 1925 and is now used for ceremonial purposes only.

The world famous Phi Phi Islands is an archipelago that consists of a total of 9 islands. We will visit the two most famous islands, Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Ley, with several stops along the way. First stop is at Phi Phi Don, where we will explore the island at our own pace. Phi Phi Don is known as a backpacker’s paradise with charming small alleyways where we can find souvenir shops, restaurants, and bars. Second stop is in the beautiful Viking Bay, where our Kon-Tiki guide will take us snorkeling and diving.

Sea Canoeing provides one of the best ways to explore and experience the beautiful Phang Nga Bay National Park near Phuket. Upon arrival at the pier depart by cruise boat and travel past the exotic panorama of the many islands. Upon arrival in Phang Nga Bay, get into your sturdy, purpose-designed inflatable "sea canoe" to explore sea caves, tunnels, and lagoons in the bay, only accessed by canoes at low tide. Weave your way through a network of brilliant crystalline limestone caves, to reveal the mysterious hidden world of the "Hongs" (or rooms) which are collapsed cave systems inside the rocks. Each island is different and provides a whole new atmosphere best viewed up close. Upon returning to the cruiser, enjoy a Thai buffet lunch on board while slowly cruising to Lawa Island, to enjoy swimming, canoeing or sun-bathing on the sandy beach, before returning to Phuket.
