Itinerary

Bangkok

Day 1 | Nairobi → Bangkok — Luxury Arrival

Depart Nairobi aboard Emirates or Ethiopian Airlines toward Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Professional representatives welcome you and luxury private transfers escort you to the Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn Bangkok.

The first evening is kept relaxed — panoramic skyline views from the infinity pool, the hotel's luxury lounge, or the modern districts surrounding Sathorn. A curated welcome dinner introduces Thailand's culinary culture through elegant fine dining, tropical cocktails, and the glittering city below.

Day 1 | Nairobi → Bangkok — Luxury Arrival

Day 2 | Bangkok — Temples, City & Mahanakhon SkyWalk

A guided cultural morning exploring Wat Arun Temple on the Chao Phraya River, its porcelain-covered towers shimmering beneath tropical sunlight. The experience continues through Bangkok's modern districts — luxury shopping malls, rooftop cafés, and riverside promenades.

As sunset approaches, guests proceed to the Mahanakhon SkyWalk, stepping onto the famous glass observation platform above the skyline. Sunset cocktails, skyline photography, and the glowing city lights below create one of the most unforgettable moments of the journey.

Day 3 | Bangkok — Space & Time Cube & Dinner in the Sky

The morning brings the famous Space & Time Cube Experience — a surreal world of mirrors, digital projections, immersive lighting, and futuristic illusion rooms, perfect for photography and cinematic moments.

The evening is reserved for one of Thailand's most exclusive dining experiences: Dinner in the Sky Bangkok, suspended high above the city on a secure elevated platform. Professional chefs prepare world-class meals midair as Bangkok sparkles beneath.

Chiang Rai

Day 4 | Chiang Rai — The White Temple

A domestic flight north to Chiang Rai where Thailand transforms from urban energy into peaceful mountain culture. Guests visit Wat Rong Khun — the globally famous White Temple — a brilliant white structure covered in mirrored mosaics that appears heavenly in the northern sunlight.

The afternoon brings scenic countryside drives, artisan markets, tea plantation viewpoints, and hidden mountain cafés.

Day 7 | Koh Kood — Hidden Island Paradise

Private speedboat transfers to Koh Kood — one of Thailand's most untouched tropical islands, with turquoise lagoons, jungle-covered hills, and pristine white-sand beaches. Check into Hide Out Resort Koh Kood.

The afternoon is intentionally slow: private beach walks, oceanfront cocktails, paddleboarding, and peaceful tropical scenery.

Breakfast, Dinner

Day 8 | Koh Kood — Floating Breakfasts & Tropical Luxury

A day centred on luxury tropical lifestyle — floating breakfasts, lotus-inspired pool décor, flower bath experiences, tropical photography sessions, and spa relaxation designed for couples.

Beautifully arranged floating dining trays, private tropical cabanas, and curated photography assistance create a visually stunning and deeply romantic day.

Day 11 | Khao Sok — Jungle House Retreat

Guests leave the islands and travel to Khao Sok National Park — towering limestone mountains, ancient rainforests, emerald lakes, and dramatic jungle scenery. Check into Jungle House Resort where wooden villas blend directly into the rainforest.

The sounds of tropical birds, insects, and flowing rivers create a deeply immersive wilderness atmosphere throughout the evening.

Day 11 | Khao Sok — Jungle House Retreat
Breakfast, Dinner

Day 12 | Khao Sok — Jungle Canoeing & Safari

A full day exploring Khao Sok through guided canoe safaris, jungle trekking, cave exploration, wildlife spotting, and lake excursions. Towering canopies rise above as monkeys, exotic birds, and reptiles appear naturally through the experience.

Hidden caves, emerald jungle lakes, and floating raft stops create an unforgettable wilderness atmosphere.

Breakfast, Dinner
Krabi

Day 13 | Krabi — Island Boat Tour & Coastal Adventure

Travel to Krabi where dramatic limestone cliffs rise above turquoise Andaman Sea waters. The famous Krabi Island Boat Tour crosses tropical islands, hidden beaches, snorkelling lagoons, and cinematic coastal scenery.

Inclusions & Price

Deposit Offer

  • Your balance is not due until 60 days before departure.

Journey Details

Travel Kit

Duffel, sun hat, rain shell and day pack

  • Your duffel — A soft-sided Finders & Keepers Safaris duffel, sized for domestic flights and easier than a hard case on train platforms, ferry jetties and old-town lanes.
  • What is inside it — A wide-brim sun hat, a lightweight packable rain shell for tropical downpours, and a foldable day pack for temple mornings and market afternoons.
  • Yours to keep — The bag and everything in it is a gift, not a loan.
  • Packing around it — Slip-on shoes save time at temples, where you remove them repeatedly, and one set of clothing covering shoulders and knees is essential for religious sites.

Note

Monsoon timing varies by coast

The Andaman coast (Phuket, Krabi) and Gulf coast (Koh Samui) have opposite monsoon patterns, so the ideal season depends on which coast your itinerary includes.

  • Early starts — The best of this journey happens at dawn — before the heat, the crowds and the haze. Your guide will confirm what time you will be collected from your hotel.
  • Tailoring this journey — If you would like this package with more or fewer days, arranged for a group, a family or a solo traveller, or with add-ons, reach out and we will tailor it for you.
  • Route changes — Your guide or driver may alter the route in certain circumstances, but every destination set out in the itinerary will be covered.

Documents

Visa-free for most nationalities

  • Passport — Valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, with at least two blank pages for stamps.
  • Visa exemption — UK, EU, US, Canadian, Australian and some ninety other nationalities enter under a 60-day visa exemption, extendable once by a further 30 days in country.
  • Digital Arrival Card — The TDAC is compulsory for every foreign arrival by air, land or sea and must be filed within the 72 hours before you travel. It is free.
  • Proof of onward travel — Airlines routinely refuse boarding without a confirmed onward ticket inside your permitted stay.
  • Medication — Several common codeine and pseudoephedrine medicines are controlled substances in Thailand. Carry prescriptions in their original packaging with a doctor’s letter.
  • We handle the paperwork — We complete and submit your visa, eVisa or travel-authorisation applications on your behalf. You supply the documents once; we do the filing, track the approval and hold the confirmations for you.
  • Where you must appear in person — A few consulates insist on biometrics or a short interview that nobody can sit on your behalf — China requires fingerprinting for some nationalities, as do European and United States visas. We still prepare the entire file; we simply book you a single appointment and brief you beforehand so one visit settles it.
  • Before you travel — Entry rules change frequently and without much notice. Your specialist confirms the current requirements for every passport in your party at the time of booking, and checks them again before you fly.

Guaranteed Departures

Private, tailor-made departures on your dates, or join a small group

  • Once confirmed, you travel — When your departure date is confirmed, it is guaranteed. We do not cancel, merge or reschedule a confirmed departure for commercial reasons, however the final numbers fall.
  • What confirms a departure — A departure becomes confirmed once the agreed number of travellers has been reached and paid for in line with the agreed payment schedule. Places held without payment do not count towards it.
  • If the minimum is not reached — Where a group departure has not reached its agreed numbers, we tell you early rather than late, and you choose: move to the next available date, continue at a revised small-group rate, or take a full refund of everything you have paid.
  • Solo journeys — Solo and tailor-made itineraries carry no group minimum at all. Your dates are confirmed the moment your deposit is received.

A deposit of 30% is required to confirm your booking, with the balance due 60 days before departure. All itineraries can be tailored — extend a stay, add a destination, or adjust the pace to suit you. Comprehensive travel insurance covering trip cancellation, medical evacuation and personal effects is required for all guests. Your dedicated specialist remains on call throughout your journey for any changes or assistance you need.

  • What to pack — Light layers and slip-on shoes, which you will take off repeatedly at temples, shrines and traditional inns. Shoulders and knees must be covered to enter most religious sites, so pack at least one modest set you can throw on. A light rain shell handles the tropical downpours, and the highlands and northern cities run far cooler than the coast — bring a proper warm layer if your route climbs.
