Eight nights at The Sarojin in Khao Lak, four at Anantara Bophut in Koh Samui and three at Banyan Tree Bangkok, with exceptional days out woven through the journey.
“This is a journey we have experienced first-hand and can recommend with real confidence. The Sarojin is a wonderful base for Phang Nga Bay and Khao Sok, Koh Samui changes the coastal mood, and finishing in Bangkok gives the holiday a lively final chapter.”
