The Experience
The perfect mix of culture and beach, activities and relaxation, this 15-day adventure hits all the highlights.

Then hit the beach and unwind—Koh Samui and Krabi await with tropical weather, beach barbeques and thrilling nightlife. Through a combination of flights, boats and overnight trains, you can see a lot and still come away feeling rejuvenated.
