Travel House
Getting there should be the easy part.
Private yachts and aircraft, ground and everything in between, arranged across Thailand and wherever you are going next.
What the Travel House arranges.
One team and one number, from the yacht in Phang Nga Bay to the car waiting on the far side of the world.
Both coasts, not just Samui.
This is the thing people get wrong about us. Because we sit on Koh Samui, they assume our boats stop at the edge of the Gulf. They do not. We arrange private yacht charter on both of Thailand's coasts, and when the Gulf turns choppy through the autumn, the Andaman is usually calm, so we move you to the other side of the country and put a boat under you there instead.
In the Gulf that means Samui, the quiet coves of Koh Phangan, the dive water around Koh Tao and the limestone of Ang Thong marine park. On the Andaman it means Phuket as the base, then Phang Nga Bay with its karst towers and tidal sea caves, the Phi Phi islands and Krabi. Sailing yacht, catamaran, or a crewed motor yacht with a chef aboard. Our Koh Samui guide lays out a proper day on the water.
Over the map, not around it.
Samui's airport is small, privately run and slot-controlled, which is exactly why a chartered aircraft earns its keep here. We arrange private jets into Samui, Phuket and Bangkok, helicopter transfers for when the road or the tide would otherwise cost you half a day, and fast-track through immigration so the first and last hour does not quietly undo the rest of the trip.
Where they operate, we also arrange seaplane and amphibious transfers, which turn a long haul out to a remote island into a short and genuinely lovely flight. Where a floatplane does not yet reach, a helicopter does the same job. Either way you step past the ferry queue and land where you are actually staying.
Not the edge of what we do.
A fair number of the journeys we plan begin or end somewhere else entirely. We book the flights, in whichever cabin or on whichever private aircraft suits, and we hold the whole itinerary together so nothing slips between two agents in two countries. The villa in Tuscany, the ryokan in Kyoto, the safari camp with the airstrip you have never heard of. The same people who handle your week in Samui handle all of it.
The unglamorous end matters just as much. The driver already at the kerb, the meet-and-assist who finds you before passport control, the second vehicle so nobody rides with a case on their knees. We keep proper chauffeurs across the islands and the mainland, the sort who know which roads flood and which shortcut is a bad idea in the wet, and we plan the crossings between islands so a complicated day becomes a series of doors that simply open.
Anantara Lawana, Koh Samui.
We work with a small circle of houses and operators we would happily send our own family to. Anantara Lawana, on the calm northern reach of Chaweng, is one of them, and a favourite first or last night close to the airport.
