Naughty Thailand Optional Tour Descriptions

*Note: Dates and times may change

Bangkok Canal Tour with dinner Day #3 Nov 16 $55.00 per person
This afternoon, embark on a long-tail boat ride along the Chao Phraya River. Pass by Wat Arun, "Temple of Dawn" and other iconic landmarks. Take in scenic views of both banks of the river as you glide through the water and observe the simple life of the locals living along the river. Afterward, travel to dinner on a tuk-tuk, Thailand's popular three-wheeled motorized taxi, to a local restaurant before returning to your hotel.

Half Day Grand Palace & Emerald Buddha Day #4 Nov 17: $49.00 per person
Morning tour of Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, and the adjoining Grand Palace. Together they form the most impressive sights for visitors to Bangkok. Wat Phra Kaew consists of over 100 brightly colored buildings, golden spires and glittering mosaics, dating back to 1782, when Bangkok was founded. From Wat Phra Kaew continue to the Grand Palace. Despite their proximity, there's a distinct contrast in style between the Thai-inspired Wat Phra Kaew and the European-inspired Grand Palace. It is important to note that this palace is now used only for occasional ceremonial purposes and is no longer the royal residence.
Approximate tour duration is 4 hours.

Half Day Mae Chan Hill Tribe Village Day #9 Nov 22: $29.00 per person
The tour departs Chiang Rai City in the morning for the drive to visit Hill Tribe at the foothill of Mae Chan. Upon arrival, change vehicles to the local Thai Combi which takes you up to the hill tribes, namely the Akha, Long Neck and Palong. See this unique way of life and culture of the tribes that is still maintained today. This tour requires walking up several steps as well as uneven pavement and trails to get to the small village.
Approximate tour duration is 5 hours.

Elephant Sanctuary with lunch Day #11 Nov 24: $79.00 per person
Embark on a half-day elephant sanctuary visit departing from Chiang Mai, where ethical and responsible tourism takes precedence. The sanctuary's knowledgeable staff will provide valuable insights into their mission and guidelines. Witness elephants roaming freely, observe their playful interactions, bathing rituals, and feeding sessions while learning about their unique behaviors. This experience prioritizes conservation, education, and observation, ensuring a memorable and ethical encounter with these magnificent animals in their natural surroundings, with absolutely no riding involved. Have lunch before returning to your hotel.
Approximate tour duration is 5 hours.

For those going to Phuket:

Phi Phi Islands, Maya Bay & Bamboo Island Adventure: $105 per person
Set out from Patong for an unforgettable full-day island-hopping adventure through some of the most spectacular scenery in southern Thailand. After pickup from your hotel, travel to the marina and board a speedboat for the journey across the Andaman Sea to the world-famous Phi Phi Islands.

Visit breathtaking Maya Bay, surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and made famous by the movie The Beach. Swimming is prohibited inside Maya Bay to protect its recovering ecosystem, but you will have time to walk along its beautiful white-sand beach and take in the scenery. Continue to the emerald waters of Pileh Lagoon, cruise past Viking Cave, and look for monkeys along the rocky shoreline near Monkey Beach.

The day also includes opportunities to swim and snorkel in clear tropical water filled with colorful marine life. Enjoy a buffet lunch on Phi Phi Don before continuing to Bamboo Island, where you can relax on the soft white sand or take another swim in the turquoise sea. At the end of the afternoon, return by speedboat to Phuket and transfer back to your hotel in Patong.

Hotel transportation, speedboat travel, snorkeling equipment, life jackets, lunch, drinking water, fresh fruit, and an English-speaking guide are typically included. The order of stops may change depending on weather, sea conditions, crowds, and national-park regulations.

Approximate tour duration: 9–10 hours.
