Thailand 2026 Calendar of Events

I had a fantastic experience on this Tuk Tuk tour! Tony, our tour host, was incredibly engaging. He kept us laughing throughout the tour and had a wealth of knowledge about Bangkok that he was more than happy to share. The tour took us to parts of Bangkok that, as tourists, we otherwise would never have seen. The flower market was truly amazing to witness, with so many beautiful flowers being prepared and purchased. We also travelled in a convoy of Tuk Tuks to a street-side food market, where we were offered some delicious traditional Thai street food. As a tourist, I probably wouldn’t normally have tried some of the food on offer, but I’m so glad I did — it was delicious and a real highlight of the experience.

We had an absolute blast on our James Bond Island tour! Everything was well organized, the scenery was incredible, and we had such a great time from start to finish. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Thailand! Nana our guide was the best!

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Thailand! Thoroughly enjoyed our day, good tour guide. I am extremely nervous around the sea and not being able to see what is in the water, but the excitement took over and the experience was amazing!

Fantastic night tour visiting flower markets, temples and lots of food by Tuk-Tuk! We variety and choice of different foods at the market was fantastic, followed by a more substantial meal towards the end of the night at an extremely popular noodle restaurant! There was a huge line and we walked right in, perks of being on a tour. Our guide was highly knowledgeable and friendly and overall a lot of fun!!

Pick up was right on time. Took us to the jetty where we were given complimentary tea/coffee and soft drinks as well as snacks. Though the snacks were not to my taste and the tea was really weak, I thought they did well on the hospitality.The boat left on time, and the crew were very well organised, friendly and helpful. The stops were managed very well, and the boat ran relatively smoothly all day. We had six stops total, which broke up the day nicely. Nothing felt rushed or overly laboured.The places we went were phenomenal! I am very jealous of these guys getting to go there every day. My partner said the snorkelling stop was the best snorkelling he had ever done: loads of fish and lots of different kinds.Lunch was lovely: a really good selection of local dishes. I could have done without the cold BBQ skewers near the end of the trip, which was overly worked-up by the crew, but it was a nice gesture.There were plenty of soft drinks available all day, and the towels and snorkels were of really good quality.

Fantastic tour very informative and stunning scenery

Guide was warm, polite and very knowledgeable. As well as his young man colleague, setting everything up ahead of time for us. We were lucky. A group of 3 customers. Got personal attention. Lots of great food, and places only seasoned locals know about. The length is the tour is perfect. Lot’s of food.

A lovely day at the top of Thailand. Our guide Poon was knowledgeable and friendly, chatting freely about cultural and natural sights as well as more personal topics like recent changes in the Thai royal family, or the lives of Karen peoples (hill tribes) in modern Thailand. The short, beautiful trek past several dramatic waterfalls was the highlight of the day, and Poon was proactive in taking our photos and slo-motion videos at every stop. The summit of Doi Inthanon (highest point in Thailand) is not so impressive since it's amid a thick jungle. But culturally significant. The twin pagodas dedicated to King Rama IX and his wife are a better lookout point, although visibility in September can be poor.

Amazing food tour! Excellent value for money! Great guides.

Second Private Tour & Absolutely Flawless Again! 🥂✨ ​After an incredible first trip, we booked our second private "Captain’s Choice" tour with 5 Star Marine, and once again, it exceeded all our expectations! ​Having our favorite crew back made it even more special. They took the four of us to the most idyllic, hidden spots away from the crowds. We spent the day snorkeling in crystal-clear water, having fun on the paddleboard, and sipping Prosecco right in the sea! Lunch at a breathtaking location made the day complete. Everything was organized to perfection from start to finish. Huge thanks to the amazing crew for making our time in Phuket truly unforgettable. If you are in Phuket, do not hesitate—book with 5 Star Marine! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful private tour! My guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire day easy and enjoyable. He explained each stop really well, gave me plenty of time to explore, and was a great driver throughout the day.

A beautiful trip and definitely worth visiting. We chose the catamaran option and really enjoyed the whole tour.The scenery around Phi Phi Islands and Maya Bay is absolutely stunning. Everything went smoothly, and we had a great day. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Phuket:)

My wife and I came to Phuket for our honeymoon from the USA and choose to do a private boat rental with scuba diving in the Phi Phi islandsThey picked us up at our hotel right on time in a spacious van - and brought us to the dock. The staff and team on board were great and helped create a great day based on conditions out including 4 sight seeing spots, lunch, a swimming lagoon and 2 dive sights.The diving was super fun - we did 2 seperate 40 minute dives and saw tons of wildlife/ reefs.Great experience all around - professional - fun - and so beautiful 100% recommend.

We had an amazing day exploring the Phi Phi Islands. Everything was well organized from hotel (Selina Serenity) pickup to the speedboatboat trip, and the crew were friendly and helpful throughout the day. The scenery was incredible, especially Pileh Lagoon, and we had plenty of opportunities to swim, snorkel and take photos. The water was beautiful and the lunch was good too. It’s a full day trip that is definitely worth it if you’re visiting Phuket.

We booked a private boat tour with 5 Star Marine for the four of us, and it completely exceeded all our expectations! ​From start to finish, everything was organized to perfection. The taxi transfer was seamless and right on time. Onboard, the crew took such good care of us — they were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the entire day. ​Even though we traveled during the rainy season, we were blessed with a glorious, warm, and sunny day on the water. We visited so many breathtaking places, enjoyed a delicious lunch, and made memories that will last a lifetime. ​If you are visiting Phuket, do not hesitate to book with 5 Star Marine.
