Voluntourism - Taste of Thailand in Style - Thailand
Operator
Hands Up Holidays
Description
A condensed adventure for those short on time, this trip combines the finest food and accommodation and can even be completed with only six days off work.
This trip begins in Bangkok and then takes you to the ancient capital of Ayuthaya and the infamous Bridge over the River Kwai. We then fly to Phuket to assist in nearby Khao Lak province for three days. You can be involved in beach clean ups, or helping at an orphanage.
You then have a well earned break in Phuket at a luxury resort for three days relaxing by the pool or at the beach, with optional activities such as diving, snorkelling or visiting islands such as Ko Phi Phi. Or, if you still feel somewhat energetic, you could opt for Thailand’s first ever luxury jungle camp, Elephant Hills, in nearby Krabi Province. This option includes canoe trips, lake rides aboard long-tail boats, elephant riding and conservation talks. Sleeping is in one of 20 luxurious safari tents.
Your trip ends back in Bangkok for your flight home.
