Accommodations here suit all pockets…from spare to super-swanky! Suited for everyone, Koh Lanta runs the gamut of activities like world-class diving, mangrove forest kayaking, beach bar fun, savoring seafood delights with locals, etc.

Koh Yao Yai
Koh Yao Yai is a hidden jewel in Thailand’s Ko Yao archipelago. Unlike many of the country’s islands, Koh Yao Yai has retained its aura of an unspoilt paradise with virtually no traces of commercialization. Verdant rainforests, lush paddy fields, rubber plantations, provide a welcoming backdrop to this sleepy town, while gentle waves add a soothing soundtrack to the pristine, white sandy beach. Lauded for its eco-friendly homestay options, Koh Yao Yai houses only a few resorts and hotels. You can enjoy swimming, snorkelling and kayaking, and go hiking along beautiful winding forested paths. Kindly note that alcohol is only served inside the island’s resorts.

Phuket
Phuket, in Thailand, has emerged as one of the most popular destinations in the world! Azure blue oceans, verdant rainforests and golden beaches are characteristic of the largest island in Thailand. While beachgoers and party-hoppers line the sunny streets, the laid back south and quiet north provide you with solace. Formerly a trading post, Phuket now offers a myriad dining and shopping experiences, as well as great opportunities for trekking the mountainous terrain, diving in the Andaman Sea or simply relaxing. And of course, a variety of beaches that you can choose to spend time, depending on the resort you stay at.

What Our Guests Say
Enchanting Travels exquisitely prepared our excursion from top-to-bottom based on our initial discussions regarding our desires for our trip. From cities, sites, tours, hotels, & activities, we were immersed in our favorite style of travel: get involved in activities [culinary class, organic farming, yes – and of course care of the elephants], great knowledgeable guides, local food tasting as one priority, and trying different modes of local transport [from car, boat, bicycle, Cyclo-cross, Tuk-Tuk, Long Boat, gondola, canoe, Vespa scooter, and even a bamboo raft]. The hotels were specifically selected for their local style, and the sites were all well represented and included off-the-beaten path historical and natural treasures. The oversight of our trip via the App as well as 24/7 coordinator involvement made it totally hassle-free.

Enchanting Travels and their staff put together a trip of a lifetime. We hadn’t traveled to Asia before and were nervous about what to expect or how to navigate once we were there. We also really didn’t know what we wanted to do other than a few expectations. We went to four countries with multiple hotels, flights and boat excursions. I cannot believe that the 5 week trip went off with out any hitches! Everything was so smooth and effortless. We did not worry about anything the whole time we were there. It was comforting to know that our trip coordinator was there for us if we needed her and she certainly responded quickly if we did have a need or question. The choices for hotels that Enchanting Travels recommended were superb and the guides and driver were knowledgeable and fun. I can not speak more highly of all of their services and plan on using them again for another big trip.

Wonderful overall experience with Enchanting Travels! They created a customized itinerary and took care of all of the details and provided fantastic accommodations and guides as well, so that we could have an amazing experience in Thailand. I would definitely recommend to others and will use again.

We had a wonderful trip to South East Asia organized by Enchanting Travels. The organization was seamless with no mishaps. Guides were very pleasant and informative and activities and sights seen were incredible. We hope to book another trip with enchanted travel in the future.

I am writing to sing the praises of Anita Sahi at Enchanting Travels who curated THE MOST INCREDIBLE trip to Thailand for us. Anita really took the time to get to know exactly what my husband and I were looking for in this trip and she delivered 100% on what she promised. Anita spent a lot of time putting together options for hotels and excursions. She chose incredible hotels with top-notch services. The local guides/agencies with whom she worked in Thailand took wonderful care of us. Everyone was very professional, fun, prompt, and really wanted us to experience the culture and the excitement of their country. I could not have been happier with every moment of this trip from start to finish and I have Anita to thank for it all! Thank you, Erica Goldberger

Enchanting Travels planned the trip of a lifetime for my husband and I to Thailand and Cambodia. I normally plan my trips on my own and I was a bit hesitant to use a travel company. There is no question that I would use Enchanting Travels again in the future. Everything from the accommodations to the logistics of travel between locations to the tours and tour guides were top notch. We felt secure and relaxed throughout our trip because we knew that the experts at Enchanting Travels were handling our plans. We have made so many amazing memories from all of our wonderful experiences and would not hesitate to use Enchanting Travels again for future destinations.
