About this trip
Keeping up with our tradition of spending Thanksgiving in a tropical place, this year we are going to beautiful and exotic Thailand!
For the scuba group, CLICK HERE
As always, we are taking advantage of the holiday and weekends, so that you only have to take three days off work, but go on a nine-day vacation to one of the most beautiful places on earth.
We are going to be based in Phuket, one of the most beautiful places in Thailand. November is one of the best times to go: clear skies, calm and clear waters, but still not in the thick of the high season.
Here are some of the highlights:
- Visit Phi Phi Island (yes, from Leonardo Di Caprio's movie The Beach).
- Snorkeling at the Racha Yai islands.
- Visit James Bond Island
- Go on Hong by Starlight, one of the most amazing tours in Phuket.
- Visit an elephant sanctuary and a tiger sanctuary!
- Seeing The Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, Bangla Road, Phuket Old
Town, Night Markets, and other unique things to Phuket.
- Watch a gorgeous sunset from Promthep Cape
- Have a day to do super fun activities such as ziplining, ATV, GoKart, Wakeboarding and even FlowRider Surfing!
- Go to unique Thai night shows such as Siam Niarit, and Simon Cabaret Show .

IMPORTANT MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
- Trip Physical Level: 3
- All trips are governed by our comprehensive contract. You should familiarize yourself with it prior to signing up for any of our trips. You can access it by clicking HERE or visiting https://www.1000treks.com/contract/. A link to the contract can also be found at the bottom of all our web pages under CONTRACT.
- Travel insurance is required. You will need to provide a copy of your insurance policy to 1000 Leagues Travel at the latest seven (7) days after the final payment for the Trip.
- Some countries impose taxes such as VAT, hotel taxes, city taxes, etc. It is impossible to predict every tax for every city in every country, so, every now and then, we run into additional taxes that travelers need pay on-the-spot. They are usually very small, but be aware that it sometimes happens, and when it does, those taxes are your responsibility.
- Because of the adventurous nature of our trips, from time to time, we need to make changes to the itinerary, schedule, accommodations, amenities, and mode of transportation. Those changes are rare, but do happen. Whenever they happen, we will do our best to maintain the integrity of the trip.
- VISA: As of the time of this posting American citizens don’t need a visa for Thailand, so long as your stay is under 30 days. If you have a foreign passport, you may need a visa. Here's the Thailand Official Webpage on Visas so you can look into that:
We also recommend that everyone, regardless of citizenship, periodically check to make sure visa requirements have not changed as 1000 Treks is not responsible for any changes.
