EXPERIENCES — Krabi

A private tour of Thailand's gorgeous islands does not get more exclusive, intimate, or luxurious than this overnight sailing experience. Imagine being able to explore the azure waters of Phuket or Pattaya at your leisure, diving into pristine waters, drinking bubbly on the deck as you watch the  sunset over the horizon. If an exclusive luxury sailing trip is what you desire, then this package is  perfect for you.

Often the joy of exploring the specific locations we have chosen for this experience can be restricted by loads of tourists, crammed speedboats, and overbooked island activities that spend more time rushing from spot to spot, than swimming, snorkeling or relaxing on a beach. The locations are simply perfect, but the experience often lacks intimacy and serenity.

We want to counter that rush caused by commercial travel, by curating this overnight yachting experience. We want to provide you with space, private quarters filled with luxury, and time to take in all the beauty that surrounds you; moving at your chosen pace- placing you at the center of the quiet, natural beauty of Southern Thailand. The Andaman Sea is your playground- let us help you explore it in an unspoiled way, surrounded by luxury and serenity. 

Sailing through The Heart of Tropical Islands: 

Phuket and Pattaya are two of the most beautiful locations on the planet. When sailing through the  waters of these beautiful locations, you will quite literally be surrounded by staggering cliffs protruding from lush, overgrown islets crested by soft-sandy bays.   

Phuket needs no introduction. Its closest islands, Koh Phi Phi, Bamboo Island, Koh Khai Nok, and the breathtaking Phang Nga Bay will be calling you to dive into their clear waters and explore their coral-lined floors through snorkeling. When sailing through the waters of the Andaman Sea, you will experience serenity and calm as limestone cliffs jut out from the blue waters, letting you glide  through a maze of the most exclusive islands on earth-while drinking bubble from the deck of your private yacht. 

Pattaya, known by the rich and famous for its luxury resorts, is the perfect location for either a relaxing cruise or a cruise filled with water activities that will get your heart pumping. When setting  up your trip, do include the famous Monkey Island. We also highly recommend Koh Khram Yai for snorkeling or free-diving. It is part of the local marine protection zone, so water conditions are superb, with high visibility for the underwater enthusiast. 

Whichever location you choose, you can be sure your experience will be intimate and exclusive and your Bespoke Intimate Travel representative will help you pick the best island routes and yachts. For your personal needs. Here is what you can expect: 

Day 1 : All Aboard! Sailing Out on The Andaman Sea

Once you arrive at your destination, you will be escorted to your chosen private yacht. Because of the exclusivity of this experience, you can expect lavish interiors and comfortable lounging options for yourself and your partner, or yourself and your party.

A personal butler will be at your service and you can be sure your  dining will be of the highest quality, as our chefs can cater to any diet specifications or cuisine  preferences.   

If you need to treat your sun-touched skin with some love or simply feel like some spa pampering, The onboard spa room provides relaxing treatments- a perfect addition to your exclusive sailing trip. 

As the sunset takes you into twilight, feel free to enjoy some sun-downers on the deck, and get  ready for an evening beneath the starry sky- dancing or swimming or both. Once you have enjoyed a lavish dinner, you can relax onboard or retire early as the soft rocking motion of the Andaman lulls you off to sleep.

Because we know that time is too precious to waste on mundane holiday trips, we found these hidden gems and created a three-day plan placing you in the middle of this hidden world. Get ready for an unforgettable, Thai-experience!

Day 1: Cultural Immersion

After arriving at Phuket or Krabi Airport, you will figuratively dive right into the soul of Krabi, by visiting a  local fishing village. This fishing village, accessible by a bamboo bridge, is surrounded by the local trees-on-legs, better known as mangrove trees. These natural wonders combined with the unique stilted fishing houses provide a picturesque destination, quite different from fishing villages in other countries.

This experience will combine in-depth knowledge about the local’s unique way of life, and a mouth-watering seafood lunch will crown the morning's activities. 

Bellies filled with delicious food, you will be heading to an eco-friendly community that lives in tune with nature. During your afternoon, your guide will introduce you to the many artistic skills this community is well known for, including local batik crafting and painting.

As the sun sets you will be left to explore the area at leisure, taking in the glowing sunset beauty Krabi is so well known for. 

Your dinner will be prepared at the homestay you will be welcomed for the evening. This increasingly popular sleep experience allows you the rare opportunity of truly immersing yourself in another culture, with a local family, creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience to end your day.

Day 2: Visiting Must See Location: The Separated Sea

Before breakfast, your guide will meet you at the homestay, and guide you to the beach, where a unique morning-mud-mask treatment awaits you.

This natural mud, native to this secret beach, is rich in natural nutrients, ready to feed your skin with mineral goodness. This treatment will relax your mind, and soul and nourish your skin, increasing your appetite for the delicious breakfast that will follow this morning ritual.

Once you have enjoyed your breakfast and coffee, you will start your journey to the famous Separated Sea which put Krabi on the map.

A day of snorkeling and swimming within crystal waters will commence. Be ready to feast your eyes on the beauty of the Andaman Sea. You will experience the freedom of exploring these gorgeous waters, becoming familiar with the abundance of sea life and coral found within its depths.

Depending on the weather and course of the moon, your guide might take you to see a very unique phenomenon found only in this area. This phenomenon happens when low-tide conditions are so perfect, that it draws back enough to reveal a gorgeous white sandbank, connecting two of the islands. This experience is unique, and though we cannot promise this sighting, we will try our best to make it part of your trip.

After a day of sun, sand, and sea, you will be transferred to Phra Nang Inn, Krabi, and given time to prepare your salty, sun-kissed body for dinner.

A home-style Thai dinner will be served at a lovely local restaurant. Here you will enjoy an array of delicious Thai dishes, all prepared with fresh, local ingredients, according to traditional recipes.

A day spent in the blue waters of Krabi will surely exhaust even the most energetic travelers, and after dinner, you will retire to your selected accommodation for some rest .

Day 3: Farewell Wishes:

Before leaving Krabi, it is important to spend a few hours exploring by yourself. There is so much to see and do, so make sure to find some coconut ice cream, or visit the local flea markets. 

Spending a few last moments at any of the sandy beaches can also promise a memorable goodbye. 

Once departure time has arrived, you will be safely transferred to the airport, in time to catch your flight.
