Thailand's rainforest and elephants

10 nights from £2,559 per person based on 2 sharing

From boutique beach stays to unforgettable rainforest adventures, this journey showcases three very different sides of southern Thailand. Begin on the peaceful shores of Phuket before heading deep into Khao Sok National Park for two nights at Elephant Hills, where canoe safaris, jungle adventures, and ethical elephant encounters bring you closer to Thailand's remarkable landscapes. The journey finishes on the golden beaches of Khao Lak, giving you time to slow the pace before heading home.
  • Your adventure begins at SALA Phuket, where contemporary villas, minimalist design, and a peaceful stretch of Mai Khao Beach create the perfect introduction to Thailand. Spend your days unwinding by one of the resort's pools, enjoying fresh seafood by the beach, or heading out to Banana Beach by speedboat for a day of snorkelling in crystal-clear waters and relaxing on one of Phuket's most beautiful hidden beaches.

  • The heart of the journey is your stay at Elephant Hills, one of Thailand's leading luxury tented camps and a pioneer in ethical elephant tourism. Meet rescued Asian elephants in their natural environment, paddle quietly through the rainforest by canoe, trek beneath towering jungle canopies, and cruise across the emerald waters of Cheow Larn Lake, surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs that rise straight from the water. Every experience is led by knowledgeable local guides, offering a genuine connection to one of Thailand's most spectacular national parks.

  • The final four nights are spent at Outrigger Khao Lak Beach Resort, where a slower pace takes over. Long walks along Bangsak Beach, afternoons by the pool, and sunset dinners overlooking the Andaman Sea provide the perfect contrast to your rainforest adventure. With spacious grounds and direct beach access, it's an ideal place to simply relax and enjoy Thailand's west coast.

  • Combining boutique luxury, meaningful wildlife experiences, and some of southern Thailand's most beautiful scenery, this itinerary offers far more than a traditional beach holiday. From snorkelling vibrant reefs and drifting through rainforest rivers to watching elephants roam freely and ending each day beside the sea, every stop brings a completely different perspective on Thailand.
