KHIRI Travel has opened a new office in Phuket and expanded its portfolio of travel itineraries in southern Thailand.
Marc Ruffet, a Swiss national, has been appointed branch manager of the new office, which is situated near the Heroines’ Monument in central Phuket.
According to Khiri Travel Thailand general manager, Andre van der Marck, the new office functions as the company’s customer service hub for southern Thailand, and also serves as the creative and quality control centre for all regional travel itineraries offered by Khiri.
“From our Phuket office, Khiri will develop innovative new programmes such as community based tours for the South. These are being designed to show unique aspects of southern Thailand to our industry partners,” he said.
For example, Khiri is offering homestays in Chaiya, Surat Thani, which was the regional capital of the Srivijayan Empire between the 5th and 13th centuries, as well as exploratory tours to Nakhon Sri Thammarat’s Khao Luang national park – renowned for its thundering waterfalls, deep forests and mountain hikes.
Other southern Thailand itineraries, such as yacht charters, sea canoeing, Phi Phi Island excursions, and trips to the Khao Lak beach resort area and Khao Sok forest park in north Phuket, are also available.
