This Songkran holiday, we are going to take you south, from the Andaman Sea to the Gulf of Thailand. We are going to visit the unseen and must-see destinations in Phuket, Surath-Thani, and Chumphon. We combine hiking, ocean and the lake in this one trip. Visit PhiPhi islands and cat island, and hidden gems in Phuket. Then, we are going to search for the largest flower in the world, that blooms right at Khao Sok National Park, and visit Ratchaprapa dam, and stay overnight at one of the iconic floating hotels, and take a longtail boat tour to see the wild animal. Our last ocean is the Gulf of Thailand. We are going to Chumphon, which is the gate to the southern part of Thailand and has so many hidden gems for both hiking to viewpoints and diving activities. 

Note: This is 6 days, 6 nights – all included Trip. Travel to the south of Thailand is normally expensive, on top of High season price makes this trip more expensive than the usual price. 

We are offering the break-down trip to make the overall price cheaper (A) Only Phuket B) Only Khao Sok and C) Only Chomphon) Please let me know your thoughts, if we have enough signup to break this into smaller/cheaper trips.
