Koh Payam Island

Koh Phayam isn’t just another island on Thailand’s Andaman coast—it’s a hidden realm crafted perfectly for the Adventure-Relax traveler. It’s where nature still holds the pen, sketching out untouched beaches, lush forests, and crystal waters without interference. There are no loud resorts, no concrete clutter—just peace, freedom, and a kind of wild beauty that feels like the world before noise. Here, you can surf gentle waves in the morning, hike through jungle trails by noon, and fall asleep under stars that don’t compete with city lights.

Something happens the moment you set foot on Koh Phayam. It's not dramatic—but it’s deep. The air feels lighter. The silence wraps around you. Nature doesn’t just surround you—it reaches into you. Every traveler who comes here feels it: a subtle awakening, a return to something simple, clean, and real. It’s not a vacation. It’s a quiet transformation.

Ranong - Mountain, Hot spring, River, Forest and Sea.

Tucked quietly between misty mountains and the open sea lies a small town wrapped in nature—Ranong, a hidden gem in Southern Thailand. On one side, towering evergreen mountains cradle lush rainforests, a preserved wilderness teeming with life. On the other, the gentle rhythm of waves kisses the shoreline. The air here flows in a unique cycle, filtered through dense jungle and salty breeze, making every breath feel crisp and alive. Natural hot springs bubble near the base of the hills, while clear streams, waterfalls, and serene lakes scatter the landscape like secrets waiting to be found.

But Ranong isn't just about untouched nature—it hums with history and folklore. Ancient wooden buildings and weathered shrines tell stories passed down through generations. Each corner of the town holds a whisper of legend, from hidden caves to old teak mansions. This travel package takes you beyond the surface, into the heart of Ranong—a place where nature, culture, and quiet wonder exist in perfect balance.

Cheowlan Lake.

Spanning over 500,000 rai of pristine water and forest, the vast expanse of Cheow Lan Lake stretches across three southern provinces, fed by three rivers that converge above the dam. What was once a highland rainforest has transformed into a surreal freshwater archipelago—towering limestone peaks rising from emerald waters, now scattered as islands across the lake. Every angle offers breathtaking scenery: dramatic cliffs, misty hills, and glassy water reflecting the sky. This is more than a reservoir—it's a natural masterpiece. The surrounding forest is a protected wildlife sanctuary, rich in biodiversity and still home to rare animals, giving visitors a rare chance to spot nature in its purest form.

From morning to dusk, the lake stays crystal clear, glowing emerald under the sun. A visit here isn’t just a scenic escape—it’s an immersive experience. Explore iconic landmarks like the Three Brothers Rocks, “Little Guilin,” the Echo Lake, Coral Cave, and the wild jungle of Khlong Saeng. Cheow Lan Dam is not only considered Thailand’s most stunning freshwater lake, but it's also ranked among the top in Asia. If you’re chasing unforgettable beauty and raw nature, this place should be at the top of your list.

Dam, over view.

Ratchaprapha Dam is more than just a gateway to natural wonders—it's a masterpiece of design and landscape. While the emerald freshwater lake below is already a marvel, the view from the top of the dam is something else entirely. It's the kind of beauty that makes you pause, question if it’s even real. The crest of the dam isn’t just functional—it’s a stunning lookout point that feels almost surreal in its perfection.

Every inch is thoughtfully designed: blooming flowers, manicured lawns, and essential structures all blend seamlessly into the surroundings. From this vantage point, you can gaze across the vast reservoir, where jungle-covered limestone peaks rise like islands from a flooded world. The scene is wild, mysterious, and layered—like something straight out of Jurassic Park. It’s a view that stirs the imagination and leaves a lasting impression long after you’ve left.

Rope Bridge - Fruits Garden:

From the town’s edge, the road leads into the countryside—where thick groves of trees, rubber plantations, and lush fruit orchards line the riverbanks. Here, nestled among the hills, nature has carved out a shape unlike any other: two overlapping heart-like mountains, full and round, as if nature itself is echoing the kindness of the people who live here. A rustic suspension bridge crosses the river, leading directly toward this “double heart.” Standing in the middle of the bridge, the view stretches wide in both directions—calm water, rolling hills, and green as far as the eye can see.

At the end of the bridge, the path opens into a vibrant orchard. Rambutan, mangosteen, durian, jackfruit, and bananas grow in abundance. During harvest, the orchard owners lay out baskets of fresh fruit—sold directly, without middlemen, at fair, local prices. This is more than a market—it’s a moment of connection. An honest place where generosity still grows like fruit on trees. Some spend a lifetime searching for this kind of sincerity—a true Heart of Gold. But with this journey, you don’t have to search. You just have to arrive.

Pagoda Hill

Scattered across a cluster of forested peaks, golden stupas rise gracefully into the sky—each perched atop a mountain like a spiritual sentinel. The central pagoda, enshrining sacred relics of the Buddha, stands tallest among them. From its summit, a panoramic view unfolds: surrounding stupas dot the neighboring hills, forming a vision reminiscent of Bagan, but immersed in rich, vibrant green. This isn't a dusty plain—it's a sea of living forest, where every direction radiates the serene power of nature and devotion.

Each mountaintop stupa adds to the layered mystique of what locals call the "Mountain of Pagodas." Ancient Buddhist sanctuaries lie hidden in the trees, wrapped in the quiet strength of the jungle. The atmosphere is thick with reverence. The air itself seems to carry blessings—a gentle breeze touched by centuries of prayer. Visitors often say they feel it the moment they arrive: a calming presence, a subtle shift. It’s not just a place you see—it’s a place you feel.

"You have to visit Hippy Bar once in time.." Yes, I mean.

This beachside bar wasn’t built—it was gathered. Piece by piece, wave-worn driftwood from the sea was collected, chosen not for uniformity, but for soul. The result? A bar with no blueprint, no rules—just pure instinct and emotion. It’s raw, rustic, and effortlessly artistic. Every beam and plank tells a story, shaped by tides and time. It sits quietly by the shore, but when the sun begins to drop, this place transforms. You’ll witness one of the largest, most vivid sunsets you’ve ever seen—its glowing orb sinking into the horizon, lighting the water like fire.

And then there’s the drink in your hand. The cocktail maker here isn’t just mixing drinks—he’s crafting moments. Each sip is perfectly balanced, refreshing, and tuned to the vibe. Whether it’s a tropical twist, a classic favorite, or something off-menu, your first drink is already included in the package. So go ahead—order whatever you like. Sit back. Let the salt breeze, golden light, and rhythm of the waves do the rest.

"Simply, Outstanding"

This is a sanctuary built not from abundance, but from persistence. Isolated in the middle of the sea, the temple on Koh Phayam rose from a place of scarcity—where every beam, every brick had to travel far. Materials were few, but faith was abundant. A simple white bridge stretches out over the water, clean and unadorned, yet full of life beneath. Each pillar is a gathering post for schools of fish, and the shallow reef below bursts with soft coral, alive with color and motion.

At the end of the walkway stands the ubosot—the main ordination hall—floating in quiet dignity. Its beauty doesn’t shout; it whispers. The simplicity of this offshore temple is its power. Tourists often linger here longer than they planned, drawn in by the peace, the view, and the spirit of calm that wraps around the place. Like the island’s name, Phayam, it’s all about quiet effort and enduring grace. How long will you stay, once you’re standing in that stillness, surrounded by sea and sky? Only the moment can decide.

Strange Rock on the beach.

Where powder-white sand meets the clear, glassy blue of the Andaman, and the untouched forest leans in with quiet majesty—something extraordinary stands between them. A volcanic rock, dark and weathered, rises defiantly from the shoreline. It’s neither fully in the sea nor completely on land. No blueprint, no order—it simply is. Shaped by time, wind, and tide, this lone formation seems almost self-aware, as if it knows it doesn’t fit in. And that’s exactly why it matters.

Locals call it “Hin Plaek,” or the “Strange Rock” of Koh Phayam. Its odd placement and raw form draw visitors not just for the photo, but for the feeling. There’s a quiet power in its presence—a kind of natural confidence that comes from being unapologetically different. In a world that praises symmetry and polish, this jagged, ancient monument stands as a reminder: what doesn’t follow the mold often holds the most meaning. Go see it. You’ll know what we mean when you’re standing in front of it.

Kayaking on Payam Island

Paddle your kayak from the soft, white sands of Haad Mae Mai, and begin a journey that lets you see Koh Phayam through nature’s own frame. The route starts calm and open, along the coast, before slipping into a natural canal that winds past the serene Blue Sky Resort, hugging the edge of the island’s quiet lagoon. From there, the path narrows and leads you into one of the most pristine mangrove forests in the region—untouched, unfiltered, and utterly alive.

This is not a thrill ride—it’s a quiet kind of wonder. The kind that makes you slow down. Listen. Notice. The air feels fresher here, the water calmer, the colors brighter. You don’t leave a mark, but you carry everything with you. Just passing through, collecting moments, not altering a thing. It’s a simple activity, but something stirs as you glide along—a quiet love for the natural world that grows with every stroke of the paddle.

Ko Payam Around the Island, Slowly Life.

On Koh Phayam, speed is not part of the experience—and that’s the point. There are no cars here. Instead, exploring the island means hopping on a local “engine-cart”—a rustic, motorized wagon that ambles along narrow roads circling the island. It doesn’t rush. It weaves. Slowly. Thoughtfully. Letting you take in the untouched beauty, the shifting scenery, and the quiet charm hidden in every turn.

This humble ride isn’t just transport—it’s your passport to every corner of the island. It glides across beaches without disturbing the sand, wades through shallow water, navigates the forest, and rolls into orchards with ease. You’ll see everything—every viewpoint, every secret spot—without missing a beat. It’s proof that sometimes, the joy of the journey really does match the magic of the destination.

Chumphon City Tour

In Chumphon, sacred meets scenic in ways that leave a lasting impression. Phra That Chawi, a revered religious site, draws worshippers from across the province. Nearby, the Prince of Chumphon Shrine stands as both a place of tribute and a must-visit landmark. But it’s at Khao Matsee Viewpoint where the magic of Chumphon truly reveals itself—one spot, two sweeping views: the vast Gulf of Thailand on one side, and the Chumphon estuary with its bustling fishing village on the other. It’s contrast and harmony, all in a single glance.

From there, head to the Chumphon Archipelago National Park, where the daring can test their nerve on the park’s iconic suspension bridge—a favorite for thrill-seekers and photo lovers alike. Yes, Chumphon is known for its underwater beauty, but the stories above sea level are just as rich. Along the coast, the mainland is lined with hidden gems, cultural sites, and natural wonders. And with JC Tour, you won’t miss a thing—except the spots that don’t make the cut. Because here, only the best is on the map.

Bridge and Wild

This long bridge stretches across a serene lake, where the air is clean, the breeze gentle, and every step brings a new scene to take in. Beneath the walkway, schools of fish in every shape and color dart through the water. As you continue, the bridge leads into a thriving mangrove forest—home to dusky leaf monkeys, wild junglefowl, and brilliantly colored birds calling from the treetops. The air surrounds you from all sides, cool and alive with the scent of trees and salt.

Then comes the challenge—a heart-pounding suspension bridge. Cross it, and you're rewarded with something rare: a clearing where wild deer roam freely, unbothered by your presence. This entire stretch of the journey is designed for stillness and wonder. No rushing. No crowds. Just time to breathe, to observe, to feel completely immersed in the natural world. This is a moment you’ll want to keep all to yourself—and we’ll make sure you get it.

Phromthep Cape

Phra Phrom, the four-faced god, stands as the supreme creator in the Trimurti—a deity of compassion, wisdom, and boundless imagination. As the divine force behind all things, Phra Phrom is believed to shape beauty itself, from the cosmos to the tiniest detail on earth. It’s no wonder, then, that when people found this extraordinary meeting point of sky, sun, sea, and land, they felt only one name could match its majesty: Laem Phromthep—The Cape of Brahma.

Here, nature feels intentional, as if sculpted by a divine artist. The sun melts into the horizon in gold and fire, casting reflections across the sea that stretch endlessly. Hills roll down to the rocky edge where land meets ocean, and the breeze carries a stillness that feels sacred. It’s more than a viewpoint. It’s a place where creation speaks—and everyone who visits understands why it bears the name of a god.

Old Phuket Town.

Thalang Road in Phuket’s Old Town isn’t just a street—it’s a state of mind. Lined with old Sino-Portuguese buildings, it might look like the historic quarters of Penang or Singapore’s Chinatown at first glance. But that would be a mistake. What you feel here is something else entirely.

Each house has presence. Each façade holds silence, even as the street buzzes with life. It’s a place where opposites meet: elegant yet grounded, classic yet full of creative energy. You’ll walk through and feel a mix that’s hard to explain but impossible to forget—joy, calm, depth, charm, and a certain stillness of spirit. Somehow, it all fits together. Somehow, it only happens here. Phuket Old Town isn’t just historic—it’s unrepeatable. A vibe, a rhythm, a soul that no other place can fake.

Bamboo Rafting:

How long has it been—since the world raced ahead in a frenzy of development, and we quietly forgot what it means to feel? We forgot that Nature Happiness is food for the soul. But here, the water hasn’t forgotten. It flows without question, without destination, without explanation. Always moving, always clear, always cool. You can see the stones beneath, the fish gliding quietly—each doing their part without ever needing recognition.

On both sides of the stream, the forest leans in thick and green, alive with birdsong and wild creatures. The breeze slips through the trees, gentle and honest. It’s in this quiet, unfiltered beauty that something stirs in you—a rush, a stillness, a pull. Is this what falling in love feels like? Maybe. Or maybe it’s just remembering what happiness really is: pure, unprocessed, and whole. The kind of joy we don’t talk about much anymore. But here, it doesn't need words. You’ll know it when it hits.

Movie James Bond 007 Island

That signature celebration by Son Heung-min—arms wide, framing the scene like a director—that’s more than a goal celebration. It’s also the go-to gesture of location scouts in the film industry, used to frame potential shots and assess their cinematic impact. They use it to ask: How much does this place offer within the frame? What mood does it create? When the James Bond 007 team did it dozens of times across Thailand, one place stood out above all—Phang Nga Bay.

It wasn’t just beautiful. It was mysterious. Layered. Teeming with natural drama in every angle. Shell beaches that shimmer in the light. Towering cliffs split in two, like some giant sawed through solid rock. Hidden caves that open into rooms-within-rooms, just waiting to be discovered. Just offshore, the iconic James Bond Island—Koh Tapu—rises like a nail driven into the sea. And beyond that, a floating village appears, impossibly balanced on stilts above the water. The moment you see it, your mind races: How do people live like this? What stories unfold here?

That’s what made Phang Nga irresistible for Bond—and unforgettable for anyone who visits. Every frame tells a story.

Chalong Temple

He had no weapons. No army. Just the saffron robes of a humble monk. And yet Luang Por Chaem, a revered Buddhist master in Phuket’s history, accomplished what law enforcement had failed to do for decades—he brought peace to a region plagued by ruthless Chinese gangs. Where soldiers and police had tried and failed for over ten years, this quiet monk succeeded through sheer presence, moral strength, and the unshakable force of faith.

Your tour guide will take you to Wat Chalong, Phuket’s most sacred temple, to pay respects to this legendary figure. Here, you’ll hear the almost-unbelievable tale—equal parts history and miracle—of how Luang Por Chaem became a symbol of hope, power, and the unexplainable. You’ll also come face-to-face with a lifelike wax figure of the monk, so real it feels like he’s still watching over the temple. Over 100 years since his time, his spirit still lingers—and many say, so does his protective grace. It’s not just a visit. It’s a step into something sacred.

Floating Village

The Floating Village of Koh Panyee is more than a stop—it’s an experience. Built entirely on stilts above the sea, this village offers you the chance to explore, wander, and discover the lives of true fishing families who’ve lived here for generations. It’s not a model or a replica—this is real life, rooted in history that began with the founding of Koh Panyee itself. This trip brings you right into the heart of it.

The village also features a floating bazaar, where you can stroll through stalls and browse locally made products, crafts, and fresh seafood from the community. As you walk through the narrow paths, you’ll pass a small school, signs of daily life, and the village’s Islamic mosque, where residents still gather for prayer—offering a window into their culture, faith, and quiet resilience.

And then there’s the floating football pitch—built by the village’s children out of scraps, driven by nothing more than passion. It’s not just a playground—it’s a symbol of creativity and refusal to accept limits. This humble platform became the birthplace of one of Thailand’s most inspiring sports stories, showing that true power doesn’t come from resources—it comes from will.

Turtle Point

With JC Tour, you’re not just visiting Koh Tao—you’re going with someone who knows every single square meter of the island, above and below the water. Our expert tour guide will take you straight to the best turtle-spotting locations, where sightings are practically guaranteed. These aren’t lucky chances—they’re trusted spots known for welcoming both giant sea turtles and smaller, playful ones that glide effortlessly through crystal-clear water.

You'll get closer than you ever imagined (without touching, of course—respect comes first). Even better, our guide is a skilled underwater photographer, ready to capture unforgettable shots of you swimming alongside these gentle giants, surrounded by colorful coral reefs and swarms of tropical fish. This isn’t just snorkeling—it’s an underwater encounter, a moment shared in the same frame as nature’s most graceful marine residents.

5 Bays Around Ko Tao: Coral and Marine Life.

Every coral spot on this trip is untouched, hidden, and wild—tucked away between volcanic rock formations that cradle the bay like nature’s own private vault. The water? So clear it looks bottled. And within it, swarms of fish by the thousands, tens of thousands, maybe even a million, dart in and out between rock, reef, and shoreline. No deep dives needed—just a few steps in and the underwater world explodes into color.

Soft corals, anemones, staghorn fields, and brain corals blanket the seafloor, swaying with life. The biodiversity here is off the charts—each square meter a new scene, each glance a new discovery. It’s so breathtaking you’ll forget to come up for air. And when you finally do? An ice-cold drink in hand, the sun on your back, and the silence of no schedules, no pressure. Just rest, recharge, and dive right back in. This isn’t a tour. It’s your own corner of the world—your own full-color, full-time underwater dream.

Nang Yuan Island

Koh Nang Yuan sits so close to Koh Tao, they’re practically one and the same in conversation—and often in memory. When you hear “Koh Tao,” Nang Yuan is right there with it, a natural extension of the experience. But this little paradise has a magic all its own. Made up of three small islands connected by a shimmering white sandbar, it forms one of the most unique land formations in Thailand—a natural "sea split" you can walk across, surrounded by glass-clear water on both sides.

The island invites you to do it all, at your own pace. Stroll the wooden walkway up to the stunning viewpoint for a panoramic shot you'll never forget. Swim in the shallow turquoise waters of the sandbar. Then dive into the twin snorkeling zones on either side, where colorful coral gardens and tropical fish burst to life just below the surface. This package gives you all the time you need—no rush, no pressure—just sun, sea, and the kind of joy you can’t fake. On Koh Nang Yuan, it’s all about play, peace, and the pure fun of being here.

Purple Bay

The magic of Ao Muang (Mango Bay) lies in the light. Sunbeams pierce through the crystal-clear water and strike the marine life below—creating a surreal, almost shimmering purple hue that gives the bay its signature look. It’s not just clear—it’s violet-clear, and it feels like you’re swimming inside a dream. The house reef here is massive, stretching across the entire bay and teeming with coral and fish in every direction. It’s easily one of the top highlight spots—the kind of place that needs no selling, no explanation. You just have to see it.

The water is shallow, calm, and welcoming—perfect for all ages and swimming abilities. Whether you're a confident swimmer, a child seeing the ocean for the first time, or someone who's never floated with a snorkel before, this spot makes it easy. Just dip in, float gently, and the underwater world reveals itself all around you—vibrant fish, living coral, and that unforgettable purple glow. Ao Muang doesn’t just impress—it includes everyone in its beauty.
