Breakfast and lunch included.
Railay Beach is a truly special place that’s cut off from the rest of the mainland by a row of steep hills and so it is only accessible by boat. Easily described as a mini jurassic park, this place has it all. White sandy beaches, crystal blue waters, huge limestone cliffs and an incredible cave with wildlife around every corner. Enjoy a couple of hours relaxing, drinking coconuts and exploring this peaceful place.
Tonight we are going to Mexico! (Well kind of) Another Camp Thailand favourite is Crazy Gringos, a Mexican along the beachfront with tasty food, entertainment where we are sure you will all be up dancing to the macarena!
Breakfast included.
Today is a true experience. We are heading out on Longtail Boats to explore Krabi's islands. First we’re heading to Nopparatthara Beach and then we will take you to Tab Island. The island is composed of 2 small islands Koh Tub and Koh Mor which are joined together with sand bars which are visible at low tide.
Kai Island (or Chicken Island); an amazing rock formation as the big head of Ostrich or chicken. You will see a lot of small colourful fishes when snorkelling in this area.
Enjoy a Thai style lunch on the beach at Poda Island; an island with white sandy beaches, clear water and schools of colourful fishes in abundance. Again, it is a perfect place for snorkelling or swimming.
As it's one of our final evenings together we love to do a themed night and tonight is our favourite... pick a name, buy them the worst outfit you can find, easy right?
Breakfast & lunch included.
Bid farewell to the stunning beauty of Krabi as we make our way back to Phuket. After a 3 hour bus journey back, make the most of your final afternoon by topping up your tan and eating all the 711 toasties.
And just like that you will be having your final meal with your new family and reminiscing about all the incredible memories you've shared.
Breakfast & dinner included.
It's time to say goodbye...What an incredible 20 days it's been and we hope you've enjoyed every minute. I guess it's time to start planning your next trip, same time next year in Bali everyone?
