Detailed Description

Thailand’s momentous collection of islands offers a wealth of charming experiences within uncontested tropical landscapes that you will adore discovering over these two weeks. Beginning with a brief stay in Bangkok, your journey will allow you to enjoy the opportunity to uncover the fascinating energy that blankets this modern metropolis. Luxury is boundless across a cityscape that boats 5-star hotels, prestigious restaurants that are crested on mighty skyscrapers, and decadent river cruises along the Chao Phraya River, all of which you will have the option enjoy. Afterward, you will transfer to Koh Samui’s sun-bathed shorelines and boulder-bordered crescent bays, where gentle waves chant to the backdrop of idyllic limestone isles. With the fresh flavors of an elegantly mixed pina colada to welcome you, you can luxuriate in island-style bliss as you overlook the cerulean sea. Soul-nourishing spa therapy and an invigorating yoga session will awaken your senses the following day to put the cherry on top of your introduction to the islands.

Located short speed boat trips away from Koh Samui are the less-visited but no less magnificent islands of Koh Tao and Koh Pha Ngan. Each island offers contrasting charm in the spectacular experiences that they provide, and your voyage will begin with secluded snorkeling over the coruscating coral reefs that lie off of Koh Tao’s coast. You can unwind as you sunbathe on the beaches or hike to sweeping viewpoints before setting off to Koh Pha Ngan and escaping to its northern headlands. Though famous for its monthly full moon party, which you can partake in if your selected days align with the event, you will get acquainted with the stellar scenes from the intimacy of your handsome hideaway villa. On the other side of the spectrum, Koh Pha Ngan is one of Thailand’s coveted scuba diving destinations, which will provide you and your partner with the unforgettable opportunity to obtain your diving certifications and enter the depths of the sea in search of the wondrous life below.

You will then make your way to Koh Racha Yai on a great escape as you retreat to the island’s 5-star resort to bask in serenity on a private beach. This evening, you will welcome an esteemed chef into your villa for a personal barbeque for just the two of you. In the morning, you will venture out to explore the island and learn more about the local’s eco-friendly stance. Koh Lipe will allow you to step off the beaten path and surround yourselves with the wilderness.

Your final destination, Phuket, needs little introduction because it is the premier travel destination of Thailand. Though popular for a multitude of reasons, you do not need to worry about being overwhelmed by the crowds. Knowledgeable tour guides will guide you through the island’s celebrated cultural diversity and lead you on sensory-enlivening tours of its cuisine. Immersed in the heritage and with cherished images to memorialize your journey, you and your partner will leave Thailand amazed to have experienced it together.

Thailand Travel Review: Bangkok, Mae Wang, Kickboxing, Elephant Sanctuary, 12 Days

The trip far exceeded my already high expectations. Zicasso’s travel specialist and his team were awesome every step of the way. We didn't have to worry about a single thing, as they handled it all. We just enjoyed the moments without worrying about logistics. Every driver, guide, and employee we worked with was friendly, helpful, and full of knowledge. I can’t wait to go back to Thailand again and will be using the travel company again.

Thailand Trip Review: Chiang Mai, Yi Peng Festival, Elephant Sanctuary, 2 Weeks

Unforgettable! It's hard for me to put into words how amazing this trip was. From our first visit with Zicasso’s travel specialist, he seemed to know us and tailored our trip to fit us perfectly. We have learned when taking these big trips that it's best to just follow the experts’ advice and suggestions, and the travel company did not disappoint.

One thing that was truly beyond exceptional was the Yi Peng Festival in Chiang Mai. This was not even something I knew of, but was suggested by the travel specialist since our days lined up while there. This was the most moving and emotional experience I've ever had in my life! Thank you so, so much.

Thailand, Laos, Cambodia Tour Review: Angkor Wat, 2 Weeks

I was pleased by how seamless and satisfying the entire trip was. Working with Zicasso’s travel specialist, I was able to choose the sites I wanted to see and select the perfect hotels to complement the trip.

The guides chosen for us were not only informative but also very responsive to our personal needs and the changes required to adapt our schedule to the tail effects of a surprise monsoon.

Connections to airline flights and new cities went flawlessly.

The overall experience exceeded my expectations. I will recommend the travel specialist and Zicasso to friends and family.

Zicasso’s travel specialist was very responsive and great to work with. He helped us get a partial refund from one of the hotels when we had to cancel that part of our trip due to weather-related issues. He had overall great suggestions and the logistics were well planned. The guides and drivers were great. Thanks!
