INSPIRATION

Elephant Riding. Enjoy riding an elephant in Chiang Mai.

While many providers of elephant rides operate dubious welfare practices, we use only facilities set up for the benefit of the elephants, and who do not make their elephants perform unnatural tricks.

If you’re in Bangkok, a tour of the canals is a great way to see the city from a new perspective, travelling through the Khlongs of Thonburi, in the manner of the old culture of the Thai capital, and appreciate the temples, riverside life and floating markets as they were originally intended to be viewed.

Go sea kayaking in Phang Nha Bay. 

Enjoy the delightful rhythm of paddling among the beautiful oceanic geological formations and exploring the remarkable features of Phang Nha Bay, such as ‘James Bond Island’ featured in The Man with the Golden Gun’. A starlight kayak journey is also a wonderful way to enjoy this area.

Learn to dive! 

If you’ve always dreamed of scuba diving, a visit to Thailand is a golden opportunity to fulfil the ambition. Relatively cheap by international standards, it is possible to get an Openwater 1 dive certificate within a week from a certified Padi or Naui school almost anywhere in southern Thailand, and with such beautiful warm waters and interesting marine life with which to discover the joy of experiencing the underwater world, it is an unmissable treat.
