SEA YOU GROUP × ELENA MARIA SAFFIOTTI:

THAILAND: WILD & HIPPIE

Who is leading this initiative?

Elena Maria Saffiotti will take you into the green and wild heart of Thailand: an expert environmental hiking guide, explorer and lover of the land’s authentic rhythms, will accompany you on treks through the rainforests and the most unspoilt natural landscapes.

Riccardo Bassoli, a skipper with in-depth knowledge of these waters, will sail alongside you amongst idyllic islands and bays. No need to worry: the trip is completely safe, taking in the most spectacular cliffs, and there’s no chance of seasickness (in Phang Nga Bay, the water is as smooth as glass!).

What sort of trip is it?

Forget luxury cruises, run-of-the-mill package holidays and all the fuss. This is a journey hippie, colourful, free-spirited and unconventional.

It’s a sailing boat, a close-knit group of people who share your thirst for exploration, the scent of oriental spices and sea salt, music at sunset, and your feet on the ground (or on the rocks!). It’s the perfect blend of the power of the rainforest and the magic of the sea.

You wake up to the sounds of the jungle, then set off for the legendary cliffs of Railay e Phi Phi Island, you can go trekking through lush vegetation and take in breathtaking views, then take a dip in turquoise waters to wash away the day’s fatigue. In the evening? Authentic dinners, a laid-back atmosphere and wild nights on the beach under the stars, amidst bonfires, music and local colours.

Who is this adventure for?

  • Climbing for everyone: From the crags for those wanting to take their first steps in vertical climbing on the world’s most famous limestone walls, right through to the most technical routes for experts looking for a proper challenge.

  • Excursions & Jungle: Suitable both for those who enjoy a leisurely walk amidst the colours and sounds of the rainforest, and for those seeking the highest vantage point to take in unique views.

  • A desire to share: You sleep on the boat, eat from the galley, and share life on board and on the beach. No snobbery, just a great desire to have fun and let your hair down.

HIGHLIGHTS & INCLUDED EXPERIENCES

  • Climbing on legendary crags: The cliffs overlooking the sea at Railay Beach, Phi Phi Island and Ko Yao Noi.

  • Rainforest Trekking: Guided walking tours led by Elena through lush jungle, past waterfalls and to breathtaking viewpoints.

  • Dream Beaches & Hidden Bays: Snorkelling and relaxation at exceptional hidden gems such as Pileh Lagoon, Yung Island and Ko Poda.

  • Culture & Authentic Flavours: The local markets, the magic of the floating town of Ko Panyi and the explosion of flavours in Thai cuisine.

  • Hippie Nightlife: Beach parties, music, fire shows and unforgettable nights under the stars in Railay and Phi Phi.

The rhythm of the day

  • Morning: Breakfast on board, a sailing briefing and departure for the day’s destination (a jungle trek or rock climbing), or simply relaxing on the beach

  • Afternoon: Diving off the boat, exploring the bays on a SUP, relaxing on the beach and enjoying local snacks.

  • Evening & Night: A sunset aperitif on a boat, dinner on shore amongst the markets or in the little beachside restaurants, and then off to the islands’ wild, hippie-style nightlife.

Tour Plan

Day 01 Phuket – Marina – Koh Yao Noi

We’ll set sail from Phuket Marina Haven to officially kick off our adventure. After a mandatory safety briefing on board, we’ll cast off and set course for the extraordinary Koh Panyee, an entire fishing village built entirely on floating stilts.

Day 02 Railay

After a morning boat trip, we’ll reach the legendary Railay Bay. As soon as we set foot ashore, we’ll be ready for our first climbing session at one of the world’s most famous rock climbing spots. The routes, suitable for all levels of experience, offer breathtaking views overlooking the sea. In the afternoon, relax on the beach. In the evening, you can immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of Railay, amongst its bars and restaurants, for an unforgettable night out.

Day 03 Krabi

A day dedicated to rock climbing in Railay. Whether you want to tackle a more challenging route or hone your technique, the options are endless. Once the adrenaline rush on the rock is over, we’ll head to a hidden cove for a spot of stand-up paddleboarding and to enjoy an aperitif at sunset: a moment of pure magic as the sky takes on shades of pink and orange.

Day 04 Ko poda - Phi Phi Island

We’ll set sail from Railay, heading for the Phi Phi archipelago. Along the way, we’ll stop off at the stunning island of Ko Poda, famous for its fine white sand and crystal-clear waters—ideal for snorkelling. In the late afternoon, we’ll arrive at Phi Phi Island, where we’ll drop anchor for the night in a sheltered bay. We’ll round off the day with an excursion around the island and decide whether to go for an hour of adrenaline-fuelled rock climbing or head into the village to enjoy the ‘extreme’ nightlife.

Day 05 Phi Leh – Monkey Bay

A day immersed in the most iconic beauty. We’ll sail amongst the majestic cliffs of Phi Leh Bay to explore its secret lagoon, a true natural gem. We’ll then set course for the famous Monkey Bay, where we’ll be able to spot the little monkeys that inhabit the beach. Before the evening really gets going, we’ll take a moment to enjoy these bays. In the evening, it’s time for some fun: you can dive into the legendary nightlife of Phi Phi Island, with beach parties and music.

Day 06 Monkey Bay – Phuket

After the celebrations the night before, a morning of total relaxation and unwinding is a must. You can enjoy the sun, take one last dip in the crystal-clear waters or, for those who wish, treat yourself to one last gentle climb on accessible rock faces. The afternoon will be spent sailing, enjoying the wind in our sails and the endless horizon, before we reach a quiet bay for our final group dinner..
