Land Rover Adventures in Thailand; An island adventure for the adrenaline junkie

Thailand is a popular tourist destination as it caters to both the traveller looking for relaxation time at the beach, and at spa’s, whereas it caters to the adrenaline junkies who want to explore jungles and go mountain biking through thick foliage. A number of hotels offer services to the latter group of visitors and, for example, when looking to book a hotel in Samui, contact the hotel in advance to book these excursions. Some hotels, such as the Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort & Spa advertise the excursions they offer on their website and this will save you a lot of time and effort.

The all-terrain, off roading capacity of the Land Rover ensures that no terrain is a problem, and so virtually any part of Thailand can be explored. Whether it be chasing exotic wildlife such as elephants or monkeys, through the thick rainforest, or exploring ancient temples, this excursion is sure to satisfy even the most adventurous of visitors. Explore pristine areas of jungle all in the comfort of the luxurious Land Rover and let the well trained drivers take you to areas that you would never have dreamed of visiting before.

A number of routes can take you past deserted beaches, or even to otherwise inaccessible mountain peaks to witness the majestic views on offer. Visitors can arrange for a picnic in areas teeming with wildlife, to fully immerse themselves in the wilderness, for an experience of a life time. And when you get tired after a long day of exploring, there is no need to worry as you will be whisked back to your hotel, without having to move a muscle.

This kind of excursion is the perfect marriage of relaxation and adrenaline, which are two characteristics that describe Thailand perfectly.
