This isn't just a
vacation.
This is your permission slip. To step outside of everything familiar and feel what it's like when the world suddenly gets bigger — and so do you.
I'm Tenisha, founder of Pure Essence Travel — and I don't just visit Thailand, I live here. I know the temples worth waking up early for, the spas that actually deliver, and the beach clubs worth every penny. That local knowledge is what you're getting when you travel with me.
We start in the electrifying heart of Bangkok — temples, traditional photoshoots, canal rides, and rooftop cocktails. Then we move south to Phuket where the water is impossibly blue and the days slow down in the best way. Island hopping, elephant sanctuaries, and a farewell dinner to close it all out right.
Everything is handled. All you have to do is show up.
Your Itinerary
Your private airport transfer takes you straight to your luxury accommodation. Settle in, freshen up, and meet your fellow travelers at a welcome dinner at Qulture — Bangkok's newest Black owned American Southern lounge. The perfect way to kick off the trip.
Morning temple tour through some of Bangkok's most stunning sacred sites. Break for a local lunch, then in the afternoon board a long tail boat along the canals of Bangkok — also known as the Venice of the East — to explore the city's hidden waterways and traditional way of life. Dress in traditional Thai dress and enjoy a professional photoshoot at the iconic Wat Arun.
Depart for the famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market — one of Thailand's most iconic experiences. Visit a nearby fruit farm to learn about local fruits and enjoy a fresh local lunch. Then on to the legendary Maeklong Railway Market where trains pass inches from the market stalls. Return to your hotel to freshen up before your evening pickup for cocktails at Tribe Sky Bar with the full Bangkok skyline beneath you.
Your domestic flight to Phuket is fully included and handled. Check into your luxury beachside accommodation, then indulge in a half day spa package designed to restore your body from the outside in — pure relaxation from head to toe.
Full day on the water aboard a private long tail boat through the breathtaking Phang Nga Bay. Visit the iconic James Bond Island and glide through hidden caves and remote lagoons for a truly unforgettable day on the water.
Enjoy the afternoon and evening at Yona Beach Club with private reserved seating for our group and a food and beverage credit included. Ocean views, great music, and the best island energy — the kind of afternoon you never want to end.
A half day at a Thai elephant sanctuary — meet and feed these magnificent animals in one of the most meaningful experiences Thailand has to offer. A professional photographer is with us all day capturing every single moment. Enjoy a traditional local lunch before we gather for our farewell dinner to celebrate the journey, the people, and the version of yourself you found along the way.
Breakfast, final goodbyes, and your private airport transfer. You leave with a full camera roll, new friendships, and a very strong case for never going back to your old routine.
