Day 1: Bangkok- First meeting & dinner
Today is arrival day. How exciting! Your trip includes an airport transfer to the hotel even if you arrive before today. Welcome to Bangkok! Our home for the next 2 nights is the Anantara Riverside Resort, superbly situated right on Bangkok’s Chao Praya river. This location makes it feel more like a lush resort despite being right next to the action! We’ll start things off with a welcome meeting where we meet each other before heading out on our surprise first dinner! Come hungry! * Please ensure you arrive early enough in Bangkok to get from the airport to our hotel (approximate 1.5hrs, including immigration process, etc) with enough time to check-in and freshen up before our first meeting and dinner. If you decide to fly in a few days early do let us know if you need us to book any extra night at our hotel. Accommodation: Anantara Riverside Resort (5-star) Day 2: Bangkok - canals & free afternoon We’re off and running early today; too much to do and see!! Ah but first, our big 100% vegan buffet breakfast!! Our very first activity (if you don’t count stuffing our faces with all that delicious food!!) is a 2-hour canal boat ride! Embarking on our Thai longtail boats, we’ll travel the Chao Praya river and snake around the canals that branch off the main river. Make sure your camera and phones have plenty of storage! Once done it’s a short walk-drive-walk to a popular Thai vegan restaurant where we’ll indulge in a lunch-feast… and maybe some song & dance. Afternoon is free. As we’ll be in the center of old Bangkok, it’s a perfect time to head over and visit some of the capital’s most famous landmarks such as Wat Arun, Wat Pho and the Royal Palace, all of which are easily accessible and highly recommended. For others the combination of jet-lag, heat and food will have taken its toll so a stint at the beautiful hotel pool might be in order. Whatever you choose, our guides and drivers will help you plan the perfect afternoon. We’ll all meet up for dinner at our hotel. It’s a sure thing we’ll be tired from the first day of our adventure but for those who arrived early, or with amazing stamina, Bangkok’s nightlife is legendary and there are plenty of places to check out. Accommodation: Anantara Riverside Resort (5-star) Day 3: Chiang Mai - cooking class Another morning, another great vegan breakfast! Today we bid farewell to the capital and fly north to Chiang Mai. While being Thailand’s 2nd biggest city, it’s noticeably more laid-back and manageable than Bangkok. Many people fall instantly in love with this city. In fact it’s one of the most popular choices for digital nomads to call home! It also happens to be a mecca for animal-free food. Our flight to Chiang Mai is only about an hour, and we’ll land just in time for our cooking class! For those who aren’t chefs-at-heart, no worries – feel free to wander and explore the town which is right outside the cooking school’s door! Our wonderful accommodation – THE VERANDA HIGH RESORT – is just outside of town on the fringe of a National Park and the perfect place to enjoy a bit of countryside after Bangkok’s urban sprawl. From the pool area to the extensive rice-paddy grounds, the resort oozes Thai charm. After check-in, you’ll have time to freshen-up, maybe even go for a quick dip, before we meet up again for a little wine-and-cheese soirée in the (hopefully!!) cooler mountain air. Accommodation: Veranda High Resort Day 4: Chiang Mai - countryside bike ride
Another amazing hotel, another amazing vegan breakfast! Today we are off early (to take advantage of the cooler temperatures!!) on our bike ride through the suburbs and countryside of Chiang Mai. Expect stunning scenery and the chance to peek at everyday normal Thai life away from the cities. Today’s lunch will be at a local vegetarian restaurant and buffet style. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure there’s plenty of food as you will most likely be hungry after the morning’s exercise! Afternoon is free and up to you! You can walk the town, go shopping for those souvenirs, or simply lounge by the pool with a lemon shake. Dinner is back at our resort. Accommodation: Veranda High Resort Day 5: Chiang Mai - free day Today is an entirely free day for you to explore the wonderful city of Chiang Mai. There are so many different things to do and see, and our team will be on-hand to provide all the info on-site to help you decide and organize your day out. We have a few vans at our disposal to help you travel around, but please note that we can’t guarantee full usage of the vehicles as it depends on availability and what the others in the group are doing but we’ll try our best! There will be a cold lunch buffet provided at the hotel for those who decide to stay behind (and enjoy the pool!!) or choose to return early/leave after lunch. Dinner is at the resort again. Accommodation: Veranda High Resort Day 6: Phuket - to Phuket After a delicious breakfast we board our 2-hour flight to Surathani in the south of Thailand. Once we land, we’ll hop on our buses to Phuket. We’ll arrive just in time for welcome drinks at our beautiful beach resort! Located in the northern end of Phuket Island, the resort is actually next to a beach that’s part of a National Park originally created to protect sea turtles and their egg-laying. This means it’s incredibly tranquil and still very natural. You may have time for a quick swim before our welcome drinks and dinner. Accommodation: Sala Phuket Resort (5-star) Day 7: Phuket - elephants & gibbons For many, this will be the highlight of the entire trip: a chance to visit with rescued elephants!! This morning we drive over to the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary (35 minutes). Founded by local ex-mahout (elephant trainer) and famed activist Lek Chailert, the sanctuary has quickly established itself as one of the best elephant sanctuaries in Thailand, integral to both the rescue of working elephants and the education of thousands of visitors each year. They provide a safe home for these incredible beings, allowing them to interact in a natural environment and be free for the first time in their lives. It’s an incredible experience and honor to share a few hours with both these amazing animals and the absolutely wonderful staff. We’ll spend a couple of hours meeting and walking with the elephants, followed by the resident dogs that have also been rescued and sheltered at the sanctuary, before sitting down for our buffet lunch at the sanctuary. On the way back we’ll stop over at the gibbons rehabilitation center (35 minute drive). Set up in 1994, the organization aims, among other things, to reintroduce white-handed gibbons back into their natural habitat. It’s our chance to learn about these amazing animals. We’ll be back at our resort for dinner and a night cap to finish off this perfect day! Accommodation: Sala Phuket Resort (5-star) Day 8: Phuket - street dogs & pool time This morning we’ll visit SOI DOGS, a wonderful organization that takes care of all the errant and homeless dogs and cats in Phuket. Thailand isn’t only about exotic animals, and its population of cats and dogs is often neglected. The doggies and kitties will appreciate the time you take to play with them and reward you in kind with plenty of waggy tails and purrs! We’ll be back at the resort for a private lunch by the pool. We’ll then set you free for the afternoon. You can opt to stay at the resort and relax, or head off to explore a bit of the island with our minivans. Dinner will be at the resort. Accommodation: Sala Phuket Resort (5-star) Day 9: Phuket- catamaran day & final dinner Today we live it up and explore Phuket’s bays and islands on our very own catamaran for an unforgettable day out sailing around Phang Nga bay. We’ll stop by a tropical beach where our captain will take out the inflatable slide and other water toys, and light up the barbecue for a vegan BBQ buffet at sea! Today’s the day to let loose and enjoy our final full day together. Expect music, games, drinks, you name it! We’ll be back at the resort around sunset. After showering and freshening up, we’ll have our final goodbye drinks before sitting down to our last supper. It’s our last night together so we’ll make it count! Accommodation: Sala Phuket Resort (5-star) Day 10: Departure day Today is unfortunately departure day. Nothing is planned today except for your transfers to Phuket airport. Unless you decide to extend your stay in paradise of course! After breakfast together, it’s time to say our goodbyes with a toast to fantastic memories and new friends! Until next time!! |
