Delicious Lunch Served on Board

As the boat glides smoothly over the calm sea, a freshly prepared Thai buffet lunch is served on board. Enjoy a variety of local dishes — perfectly seasoned and made from fresh ingredients — while surrounded by panoramic views of the ocean. The peaceful rhythm of the waves and the warmth of the sun create the perfect setting to unwind and appreciate island life at its best.

After lunch, the adventure continues toward the northern part of Koh Phangan, known for its clear blue waters, coral reefs, and vibrant marine life. This area is home to Koh Ma, a small island connected to Koh Phangan by a sandbar and famous for its excellent snorkeling opportunities.

Snorkeling at Koh Ma – Discover an Underwater Paradise

Upon reaching Koh Ma, you’ll be invited to dive into the crystal-clear water and explore a world beneath the waves. The coral reefs here are teeming with tropical fish, sea anemones, and colorful marine species. With snorkeling masks and life jackets provided, both beginners and experienced swimmers can safely enjoy this underwater paradise.

The calm, shallow waters make it easy to spot clownfish, parrotfish, and even small rays gliding gracefully across the seabed. Don’t forget your underwater camera — every moment here is picture-perfect. This snorkeling stop is often described as the highlight of the Koh Phangan Cruise, offering unforgettable memories of Thailand’s natural beauty.

Relaxation at Thong Nai Pan Beach

After snorkeling, the cruise continues to Thong Nai Pan Beach, one of Koh Phangan’s most scenic and peaceful bays. Known for its soft white sand and emerald water, this beach is a true tropical escape. Here, you’ll have free time to relax under the shade of palm trees, swim in the calm bay, or enjoy a fruit shake or cocktail from the beach bar.

Whether you want to take a nap on a sunbed, stroll along the shoreline, or simply listen to the sound of the waves — this is your moment of total relaxation. Thong Nai Pan is far less crowded than most beaches in Thailand, making it a hidden gem for travelers looking to unwind in a tranquil setting.

Excellent company for airport transfers & excursions

We booked x2 transfers and the hong by starlight tour a few months before our holiday. Communication was quick and informative, and when we arrived to Thailand, kept regulaly informed by whats app. Transfers were alll on time, with clean and very good sized transport. However the highlight of our whole holiday was the John Gray Sea Canoes trip. A full day out with absolutely stunning scenery, we were allocated a private guide per x2 passengers who were so friendly and informative, taking photos and pointing out wildlife when out on the canoes. The food onboard was the best we have ever had on a boat trip, the coconut milk pudding with rainbow tapioca balls was deemed the best dessert ever by the kids! Making the kratong and floating it at sunset was a beautiful event and the lit up bioluminence after dark in the caves was again a memory we will all trwasuee forever. If you're going to book one trip, make it the John Gray Canoes - you wont regret it!

Excellente journée en bateau pour visites les 4 îles, la guide était super sympathique et accueillante. La journée était rythmée mais lorgique avec 4 îles à visiter! Et fin vers 14h30 donc c’est plutôt agréable pour rentrer tranquillement à l’hôtel pas trop tard ! Belle découverte, je recommande!

Ayutthaya

We would like to thank the Phuket Travel Store, especially Sunee for organizing some of our tours in Thailand. The team was really professional and we always had quick replies to our queries. We visited the Palais Royal de Bang Pa-In, in Ayutthaya the Wat Maha That and had a boat tour back to Bangkok with lunch. Our guide was kind and knowledgeable, we had a great day. Everything went well apart from the French guide not being available resulting in last minute changes and the boat/van not being completely wheelchair adapted. With help it was possible. I suggested either a car with a big booth for manual wheelchair users or a van with wheelchair ramp. Thank you for improving accessibility.

Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.
