Atemberaubendes Süd-Thailand

Sunday: Departure from Germany to Phuket
Day 1 (Monday) ARRIVAL PHUKET
Arrival in Phuket and transfer to the hotel (transfers according to booking system). The rest of the day is at your leisure.
Overnight stay at the Proud Phuket Hotel or similar.
Day 2 (Tuesday) PHUKET-KHAO SOK
Early morning departure to Khao Sok National Park, an untouched rainforest surrounded by limestone mountains spanning an area of approximately 646 km². The national park is home to wild animals such as elephants, leopards, serows, langurs, tigers, and bears. Rare plants can also be discovered here. On the way to the national park, there will be a stop at the Sarasin Bridge, connecting the mainland with Phuket Island, where you can enjoy the wonderful view. Always worth a visit is Wat Tha Sai, a beautiful teak chapel by the beach surrounded by pine trees. A side trip to the Lamphi Waterfalls in Khao Lampi-Hat Thai Mueang National Park is also a must.
Lunch is served in a local restaurant. Afterwards, return to the hotel.
At 3:00 PM, there is an opportunity to take part in a small canoe tour. On the canoe trip, you will experience the gently flowing Sok River and the magnificent nature of Khao Sok National Park. Become one with nature as steep limestone cliffs glide past you. With a little luck, you may spot sleeping snakes or a few monkeys in the dense green of the jungle. Each canoe holds two people plus a local guide from the surrounding villages. The guide paddles and steers the canoe. Halfway through, there will be a short landing for a small hike along the riverbank, where tea or coffee will be prepared over an open fire (depending on the season and accessibility of the bank).
Overnight stay at the Anurak Community Lodge or similar.
Day 3 (Wednesday) KHAO SOK – KOH SAMUI
Cheow Lan Lake is a reservoir within Khao Sok National Park, created by the construction of the Rajjaprabha Dam. The lake offers a breathtaking view of impressive limestone mountains and over 200 islands. A long-tail boat will take you to a viewpoint amidst the cliff-lined landscape.
Afterwards, continue to the ferry terminal and cross to Koh Samui. After arrival, transfer to the hotel.
Overnight stay at the Coral Cliff Beach Resort or similar.
Day 4 (Thursday) KOH SAMUI

Day 5 (Friday) KOH SAMUI-KRABI
Early morning drive to the ferry terminal and crossing back to the mainland. On the way to Krabi, visit a palm oil plantation and the Pa Phru Tha Pom Khlong Song Nam Nature Park.
