Itinerary Overview: 12 Nights of Sun, Sea & Safari
Night 1–5: Phuket Family Fun at Sunwing Kamala Beach
Begin your Thailand family holiday in vibrant Phuket. Your home from home is Sunwing Kamala Beach, a premier family resort perched above Kamala Bay. With eight sparkling pools, a superb kids’ club, and beachfront access, Sunwing redefines “family-friendly luxury.” Each spacious Studio room has kitchenette facilities, ensuring early mornings with pancakes or midnight snack runs are a breeze.
Daily entertainment caters to every age group: toddlers enjoy splash-pad play, kids aged 6–12 dive into supervised crafts and games, and teens have dedicated chill zones with foosball tables and movie nights. Parents can unwind in the over-18s pool, treat themselves to Thai massages in the on-site spa, or enjoy sunset cocktails at the beach bar. Babysitting services let you sneak away for a private dinner or an evening stroll through Kamala’s night markets, where local street food, souvenirs, and cultural performances await.
Nature lovers can explore nearby Phuket Elephant Sanctuary, an ethical retirement home for rescued elephants. Alternatively, join a family cooking class where you’ll learn to chop, stir, and taste classic Thai dishes—from pad Thai to green curry—using fresh herbs from the resort’s organic garden. Sunwing Kamala Beach balances relaxation and adventure, so your family is recharged and ready for the next leg of your Thailand adventure.
Night 6–7: Elephant Hills Jungle Camp – Glamping & Gentle Giants
Switch gears as you travel north to Khao Sok National Park and check into Elephant Hills Jungle Camp. This two-night safari glamping experience immerses you in the heart of one of Thailand’s oldest rainforests. With towering limestone cliffs, meandering rivers, and lush canopy, Khao Sok is home to gibbons, hornbills, and most famously, Asian elephants.
Your luxury safari tent is spacious, fully furnished, and nestled on raised platforms to let you sleep to the symphony of the jungle. At mealtimes, feast on authentic Southern Thai cuisine prepared fresh by on-site chefs. All dietary preferences are catered for, making it an ideal full board experience for families with varying tastes.
Days begin with an eco-friendly paddling excursion along the Sok River. Keep an eye out for macaques swinging through the trees and kingfishers dipping into the water. Later, the Mahouts (elephant keepers) welcome you for a hands-on experience: prepare feed baskets, observe herd dynamics, and help wash the elephants in their natural bathing pools. This is an ethical encounter—Elephant Hills is a leading example of responsible tourism, ensuring no riding and maximum animal welfare.
Your final morning in the jungle includes a guided trek under a canopy of wild orchids and tropical hardwoods. Watch for tree-climbing palm civets and learn about the park’s micro-ecosystem from your expert naturalist guide. This is wildlife immersion at its finest—an educational, memorable experience that your family will treasure forever.
Night 8–12: Coastal Calm at The Sands Khao Lak
Conclude your Thailand journey in the serene coastal town of Khao Lak. The Sands Khao Lak welcomes families with a dedicated wing of modern rooms overlooking a koi-filled lagoon. Fringed by golden sands and coconut palms, the resort blends Thai architectural charm with contemporary comforts.
Mornings start with breakfast buffets featuring fresh tropical fruit, local pastries, and made-to-order omelettes. Spend days lounging on Nang Thong Beach or alternating between nine pools, including an adults-only infinity pool and a water playground for children. For active families, tennis courts, Thai boxing classes, and daily guided health walks keep everyone engaged.
Khao Lak village is steps away, offering colourful markets, family-run eateries, and authentic street food. Browse stalls of handcrafted sarongs, carved wooden masks, and spices—perfect souvenirs to remember your adventure. For a day-trip excursion, consider a boat tour to nearby Similan Islands for world-class snorkeling, or a visit to the Tsunami Memorial Park to learn about local resilience and community spirit.
As the sun sets, gather for beachside sunset yoga or enjoy a seafood feast at the resort’s beachfront grill. Your final evening is capped with a glow-in-the-dark firefly cruise along a nearby mangrove—an intimate wildlife spectacle you’ll recount for years to come.
