Their adventure began with a stay at the luxurious Banyan Tree in Bangkok, where they explored the city’s vibrant streets and magnificent temples on guided tours.

Next, they flew to Krabi for the ultimate beachside relaxation at the Dusit Thani. While in Krabi, they visited bustling local markets, enjoyed a scenic boat trip, and experienced the unforgettable highlight of their holiday – a visit to an elephant sanctuary 🐘🌴

This was their first time visiting Asia, and they absolutely LOVED it – so much so that they’re already planning their return!
