Thailand Diving Tour
by: Tara Alton
Are you ready to take the plunge? Receive your professional PADI dive
certificate while staying at one of the most beautiful and unspoiled
stretches of whitesand beach in all of southern Thailand. We are offering
a package on the dates of June 10 through 20, 2005 that will include:
* 2 nights in Bangkok at a cozy, centrally located
guesthouse with pickup from airport if desired
* 5 nights at beachside resort including meals, accommodation,
4 day dive course certificate, and transport to and from with guide.
* Visit to elephant sanctuary within a national park
* 1 night in Hua Hin
* 2 additional nights in Bangkok
Our stay in the south cannot be rivaled in terms of comfort, quality
and beauty. We will have the white sands and crystal blue waters virtually
to ourselves. When not diving, options abound such as enjoying a relaxing
Thai massage, swimming laps in the Olympic sized pool, playing beach
volleyball, going on a firefly or squid boat tour in the evening or
simply enjoying a good book under the palms. First rate accommodations
include air conditioning, hot water and cable TV in every room.
For nature lovers, the grounds at the resort host the most exotic and
beautiful flora in Thailand. In addition, fruits and vegetables are
grown organically and eggs are raised naturally to supply the restaurant.
The resort also utilizes a water reclamation system to irrigate the
grounds, makes compost using kitchen scraps to fertilize the garden
and uses energy efficient air conditioning in its newer rooms. In the
‘Play + Learn’ garden (Plearn) you can learn about the sustainable
agriculture practiced here.
Our trip will also include a stop at an elephant sanctuary in a National
Park. This is a rare opportunity to get off the beaten track and observe
elephants, an esteemed national symbol, in their natural habitats. With
a one night stop in Hua Hin, known for outstanding food and shopping,
our package includes it all. While in Bangkok, your guide will navigate
you through the sights, sounds and smells of this great city. Temples,
restaurants, shopping and more!! We’ll show you the way.
This paradise has so much to offer, we invite you to come with us!
