Not many people consider combining somewhere like Oman and Thailand in a single trip but we think it's a fascinating combination for those who like a trip that packs quite a punch.
This is an itinerary full of variety and contrast, from the dramatic mountains of Oman to the jungles of Thailand, from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok to sleepy Omani coastal villages.
This is a trip which ranges from mountain and desert to jungle, city and coast offering such a variety in a single trip.
In Thailand enjoy getting up close to elephants in Khao Sok National Park and in Oman see giant turtles coming up on to the beach to lay their eggs.
Begin in Chiang Mai, Thailand’s second city and gateway to the hilltribe region. Meet the monks and discover Chiang Mai like a local.
From Chiang Mai fly south to Bangkok, Thailand’s lively capital city with it’s exotic temples and busy street markets before spending 2 nights in one of Thailand’s most scenic National Parks at Khao Sok.
From Thailand fly to Muscat and enjoy a 6 night self-drive itinerary including Muscat, Nizwa, Jebel Akhtar, Wahiba Sands, Sur and the coast.

A Self Drive Holiday in Oman is a popular option for several reasons.
Roads are generally excellent throughout Oman and Self Drive holiday-makers normally don’t require a 4 by 4. Most attractions in Oman are accessible with a normal saloon car.
A popular route for a Self Drive holiday in Oman is from Muscat along the scenic Route 15 West into the Hajar Mountains through the Sumail Gap.
This two-lane highway is the main route through the mountains from the coast into the interior of Oman and is normally very quiet. The drive from Muscat to Nizwa is around 1.5 hours.
This makes it possible to easily make a day trip to Nizwa from Muscat and see some of the attractions en-route, although a one or two night stay is much more preferable to really experience the region properly.
To get off into the Jebels (mountains) either side of the highway is a different matter as most require a 4 x 4. Signposting is excellent for all the major sights along the route.
One option for those looking to explore the mountains by car is to rent a normal car for the journey to and from Nizwa but switch to a 4 x 4 for one day from Nizwa in order to explore the mountains.
Alternatively many of our clients choose to take an organized excursion into the mountains or the Wahiba Sands, in a 4 x 4 accompanied by a driver guide. This ensures seeing the best of these areas and is recommended especially for those with no 4 x 4 driving experience.
Driving in Oman is on the right hand side of the road, in left-hand drive vehicles, and once out of Muscat, highways are usually very quiet.
Signs are always in English in addition to Arabic. Petrol is cheap in comparison to the UK and petrol stations are plentiful, often open 24-hours and always with an attendant to fill up your car.
It is possible to drive between Oman and the UAE but vehicles cannot be collected in one country and dropped off in the other. For those going cross-country, pre-authorization is required to cross the border, as insurance needs to be valid for both countries.
South from Muscat to Sur a relatively new highway makes travel between the two destinations a breeze and one of the most scenic drives in Oman is the coastal route between Sur and Muscat.
Driving within Muscat can be very confusing due to a complex highway and roundabout system.
Hazards of driving in Oman include goats and camels crossing the road and bear in mind that it is an offense to be in charge of an unclean car whilst driving in Oman!
