Thailand: New Year Celebration / A luxurious tour of Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Krabi and Phuket / www.outadventures.com / Janbolat Khanat Almaty Tourism Culture & Art News Office
A luxurious tour of Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Krabi and Phuket.
The Land of Smiles awaits on this exquisite Christmas and New Year holiday. Our festive foray begins in big gay Bangkok where we’ll wander the Grand Palace, devour the street food and indulge in the raucous revelry and nightlife of the Silom district. We’ll then explore the famous temples of Northern Thailand and luxuriate in our superb hotel.
Christmas day will be an unforgettable affair spent at a world-renowned elephant sanctuary. From Chiang Mai we fly south to swim, snorkel and explore the tropical islands of Krabi with extra time built in to enjoy the pristine beaches. Finally, we’ll take a private transfer to the booming beaches on Phuket. It’s here we’ll ring in NYE with a festive dinner and gay street party.
To wrap up this once-in-a-lifetime tour we’ll kayak through Phuket’s elaborate cave system before releasing our own krathong (biodegradable candle boats) into the sea.
It’s worth mentioning we host multiple other departures through The Land of Smiles that don’t conflict with the holidays. See our Thailand: Temples & Beaches tour and Thailand: Songkran Water Festival for alternative dates and prices.
