Balance beach time with rainforest stays

10 nights from £1,730 per person based on 2 sharing

This journey through southern Thailand moves from the easy rhythm of Phuket’s west coast to the rainforest landscapes of Khao Sok National Park, before slowing again on the beaches of Phang Nga. Staying at two OUTRIGGER resorts with an immersive break at Elephant Hills in between, this trip balances comfort, nature, and a strong sense of place.
  • The trip begins at OUTRIGGER Surin Beach Resort, just a short walk from Surin Beach on Phuket’s west coast. Superior rooms are clean-lined and comfortable, with private balconies and space to unwind after a day out. The resort has a relaxed, social feel, with a pool at its centre and dining that works well for long breakfasts or casual evenings. Its location makes it easy to enjoy the local area too, from beach days to nearby cafés and seafood spots around Surin and Bang Tao.

  • From the coast, the route heads inland to Elephant Hills, set within Khao Sok National Park. Accommodation here is in well-appointed safari-style tents, complete with proper beds, en-suite bathrooms, and covered outdoor seating, offering comfort while staying closely connected to the surroundings. The camp is surrounded by rainforest, rivers, and limestone cliffs, creating a setting that feels truly remote.

  • Time at Elephant Hills is shaped by shared experiences and the natural environment. Meals are included and served communally, encouraging a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Activities include the Elephant Experience, where you spend time caring for rescued Asian elephants, as well as guided canoe safaris along the Sok River, jungle walks, and a longtail boat trip across Cheow Larn Lake.

  • The final stay is at OUTRIGGER Khao Lak Beach Resort in Phang Nga, set on a long, peaceful stretch of sand. Your Deluxe Garden Balcony room offers plenty of space and outdoor seating overlooking the resort’s grounds. With multiple pools, open-air dining, and direct beach access, the resort is designed for slowing down, whether that means early swims, long lunches, or evening walks along the shore.
