Our Thailand Beaches trip does not include any internal flights, the transportation that we use throughout the trip will consist of Overnight sleeper train, Private minivan, Taxi, Speed boat, and Songtheaw. If you are looking for a mixture of culture, and beaches this is a great itinerary as if really focuses on local communities and villages while also allowing time to take in the beautiful scenery and enjoy the beaches.
