⬇️Just booked this amazing Thailand Multi- Centre for family next summer 🇹🇭

Together with my Asia Specialist Soozie we have tailored a tour which meets my customers requirements:

𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗞𝗢𝗞 - 𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗔𝗡𝗚 𝗠𝗔𝗜 - 𝗞𝗢𝗛 𝗦𝗔𝗠𝗨𝗜

❥Thailand is hugely popular for 2025 with lots of our customers already booked for next year and coming to us for various tailor made itineraries from 2-3 centre, active to families to couples alike looking to combine beaches with city and jungle, encounting elephants and boat tours to some of the smaller islands .. Thailand is a great country to do a beach only with a couple of tours or a more adventurous itinerary what ever your travel style is we can put something together and find some of those hidden gems 💎

❥Why Thailand …?
Thailand is reasonably priced, has great food, rich in culture and history with ancient Buddhist Temples ..
Food you can delve into regional delicacies …
With tropical beaches, rainforests and lots of smaller islands to discover .

Also great for families..

༄ So this is what the family has booked and will experience in 2025 🫶🏻

✔First they will arrive into Bangkok staying central .. I have planned in some free time then day 2 will be a tour of the temples taking in some of the remarkable landmarks such as wat phra kaew & The Grande Palace then onto wat pho which is home to the lying Buddha ..

✔ Take clients over to Damnoen Saduak floating Market which has been drawing curious customers for centuries due to the remarkable practice of buying & selling goods taking place entirely on water… here they will jump in a canoe and gently glide down the canals amongst hundreds of small boats loaded with all kinds of goods from food to colourful fabric.. this is a great cultural experience to see first hand how the locals go about their business ..
Then we will take customers to talaad rom hoob, better known as the train market, market is located along the railway tracks.. if lucky you even get to see the train pass within inches of the goods on sale ..

From here customers will then board the train from Bangkok overnight to Chiang Mai

Once in Chiang mai transfer to the hotel for a day of free time ..

Day 2 in Chiang mai takes them on a full day in Doi Inthanon National Park, here is a cool climate, lush nature & numerous waterfalls and the famous hill tribe villages and home to thailands highest point (2,565 metres) this is a paradise for nature lovers & for those who like to stroll with stunning views of misty mountains 🏔️… here you will see epic waterfalls and scenic temples are also a highlight along with meeting some of the Karen hill tribes who live in the mountain ..

Day 3 will see the customers heading off to the lush countryside and the elephant rescue park, this is where elephants have been collected where they have been distressed, exploited or injured, to provide them with a shelter attention and respect they deserve! So here forget about jumping on top of these animals as this is prohibited here instead you can enjoy meeting them, feed them observe and interact before going down to the river and watching and seeing them enjoy a bath !

Next day customers catch their flight to Koh Samui where they will be staying in their 5* hotel for 7 nights and enjoying the island some well earned rest and some touring of the neighbouring smaller islands such as Koh Tao or angthong marine park, and a snorkeling trip to pig island .. 🏝️

If you’re thinking about Thailand then get in touch.

My Thailand specialist and myself can put something special together for you .. 💜

Take a look at some of the places this family will be seeing …

🇬🇷 Asterias Village Resort in Crete - always nice to receive images from customers from there summer holiday I booked on a cold autumnal day....

If your looking for a small Greek relaxed, modern complex then this will fit the bill

My customers had a lovely time whilst in Crete, the choice's of traditional restaurants and bars was excellent with Piskopiano, Koutouloufari and Old Hersonissos all within a few minutes of each other.

There's lots to do and they enjoyed the local water park 'Watercity' ,went on a boat trip to Spinalonga Island and also did a 4 wheel drive trip with Safari Club. There are many ancient ruins for you to experience and of course the 'Caves of Zeus' for you to visit in this fabulous area of Crete.

Have you thought of your 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ holiday yet?? If not why not try Crete?
