Guided tours in Thailand

As part of a boat tour through the beautiful Phang-Nga Bay, many tour operators make a stop at Hong Island (Koh Hong) to go canoeing or kayaking. The unique landscape with its geological formations, caves and huge limestone cliffs make this activity something very special! Hong Island offers a famous photo opportunity that can only be seen from a canoe and from a specific position: Sky view with surrounding trees in the shape of a heart. Incidentally, Hong Island is close to the...

One of Thailand's most famous photo motifs: James Bond Island (Koh Tapu). This place has become famous worldwide as the filming location for the movie series of the same name! The island, which is actually a huge pointed rock, impresses with its strange shape and attracts hundreds of visitors every day. The popular motif is located in the middle of the beautiful Phang-Nga Bay, where there is much more to discover. A day trip (e.g. from Phuketª, Khao Lakª or Krabiª) offers the best opportunity to explore the bay by...

Panyee Island is a small fishing village and a must-see if you are planning a boat trip in Phang Nga Bay. The boat guides usually stop at this place and you can explore the village on your own. There are two special features of this village: 1. it is built entirely on stilts in the water and 2. the inhabitants are Muslim, which can be guessed from afar by a huge golden mosque. The streets are very narrow and confusing,...

If you are currently on Phuket, then you should definitely take a day trip to Phang-Nga! The surreal scenery with its numerous limestone cliffs jutting randomly out of the sea is truly unique in Thailand. In the middle of it all lies the famous James Bond Island (or rather "rocks"), which is one of the most famous motifs and travel destinations. However, Phang-Nga not only has this highlight to offer, but also many other sights such as the monkey cave Wat Suwan Kuha, the Samet...

There are several elephant sanctuaries on Phuket where you can observe these fascinating animals up close and see them in their natural environment. We have visited two of these camps on our travels, which we can really recommend to you: Bukit Elephant Park and Green Elephant Sanctuary Park. Both camps stand for animal welfare and take a stance against chains or riding. Unfortunately, you can still see many elephants in Thailand and in...

Pha Chor Canyon is an impressive rock formation in northern Thailand that is often referred to as a "mini Grand Canyon". Formed by thousands of years of erosion, the clay-colored pillars rise up to 30 meters into the air and offer a spectacular natural experience. The visit is particularly beautiful in good weather, when the warm sunlight makes the rocks glow. A circular trail leads you through the fascinating landscape, past impressive rock towers and unique rock formations. The hike takes around 45 minutes,...

The twin pagodas Phra Mahathat Naphamethanidon & Grand Pagoda Nabhapolbhumisiri are among the most famous sights in Doi Inthanon National Park. The two magnificent stupas were built in honor of the Thai royal couple King Rama IX and Queen Sirikit and are enthroned on one of the highest points in the entire country. They are surrounded by a fascinating mountain landscape and colorful, elaborate flower gardens that bloom all year round. In the early hours of the morning, when the fog spreads over the mountains...

The Pa Pong Piang rice terraces are located in Doi Inthanon National Park and are one of the most impressive photo spots around Chiang Mai. Rice terraces that nestle against the mountain slopes like waves await you here. The view of the surrounding mountain landscape is particularly beautiful during the rainy season from June to October. It is easy to walk through the small village, but as the rice terraces are privately owned, you should not enter the fields without permission. If you want to arrive relaxed,...

Ang Thong National Park (Mu Ko Ang Thong) is located to the west of the two islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Samui. Due to its surreal rock formations, it is on almost every bucket list.

The place served as inspiration for Alex...
