Jingle Bells Thailand Shells
Family Bike tour in Thailand | 14 days Bangkok to Krabi | US$2450
Hua Hin - Gulf of Thailand Coast - Andaman Coast - Khao Sok National Park - Krabi - Island cruise
This trip is all about the fun of family holidays. With a range of activities including, cycling, kayaking, rafting, elephant riding and a speed boat ride, this trip has something for everyone.
Southern Thailand boasts some beautiful coastline and has two of them to boot. We travel along the mainly flat east coast through small beach resort towns, farmland and past National Parks. We then cross to the Andaman coast and sample the very different landscape in one of Asia’s most beautiful areas, punctuated by limestone that just emerges from the ground.
Itinerary
Days 1-2 | Bangkok
We meet in Bangkok, then take a ride around the old town area of Thonburi. Explore the small lanes without traffic and some things that you wouldn’t expect to see in one of South East Asia’s biggest cities. There will be some free time to explore the shopping districts, visit some of the city’s cultural sights, or take in a cooking class.
Days 2-5 | Hua Hin & the Gulf of Thailand
We start with a drive down to the Royal holiday place of choice, Hua Hin. We will enjoy a gentle ride around the area and then set off south on the bikes, to Baan Krut and Baan Berd, both less visited beach destinations. The riding is flat and the scenery is constantly changing. See shrimp farming, coconut harvesting and various other agricultural activities.
Days 6-9 | Andaman Coast & Khao Lak
We drive across the peninsula to the Andaman Coast, through Ranong, a Thai-Burma border point. We will spend time kayaking in the Phang Nga area then continue to Khao Lak, a premiere beach destination where we will stay in a comfortable resort for two nights. We also have an opportunity to visit the Gibbon Monkeys in Phuket.
Days 10-14 | Chieow Laan Lake & Krabi
We cycle on to Chieow Laan Lake, the gateway to Khao Sok National Park. Staying in raft-houses on the lake for two nights, explore the area on foot, by kayak and raft. When we leave the lake, we drive to Krabi where we will take a speedboat tour of the surrounding islands. Our last bike ride takes us to the Blue Lagoon.
