Floating Bungalows Thailand: Phuket to Khao Sok
A private 7-day journey from Phuket’s beaches to Old Town street eats, through jungle safaris and a long-tail boat ride to floating bungalows in Khao Sok National Park.
Overview
The lowdown
Start in Phuket, where the days are lazy and the nights are wild. Wander Old Town’s faded shophouses and neon shrines, snack your way through a street food tour (we’re salivating already), then take your seat for a sunset dinner overlooking the sea. There’s space to roam on your own terms before the tempo drops. Then it’s inland to Khao Sok – where the chaos gives way to stillness. For three days you’ll live on the lake in overwater bungalows, with breakfast, lunch and dinner included each day. Wake to gibbon calls echoing through the mist, spend your days paddling past limestone karsts, swimming straight off your deck, or drifting through the jungle by canoe. It's a soft adventure with the edges smoothed – every transfer, every detail sorted, and a local on hand 24/7 if you need them. This is a private trip just for you, whilst joining others on the wildlife safari excursion.
