Thai Intro

Landing in Bangkok, we'll meet you at the airport and take you to your guesthouse in the heart of the travellers district, Khao San Road. Meet up with your travel crew and get excited for the adventures to come.

Today we'll explore the city's legendary canals by long-tail boat. We'll then stop by some of Bangkok's most sacred and famous temples, travelling by tuk tuk through the wild and crazy streets, before heading out for some of the best nightlife in the world! If you love Thai food, you'll be seriously into what comes the next day as we learn the secrets of Thai cooking with a hands on class.

Feel like you're having a 'pinch me' moment as we wind through magical limestone cliffs on a traditional long tail boat, reaching our floating bungalow home for the night in the dreamy Khao Sok National Park. Then spend the rest of the day kayaking, tubing and monkey spotting.

Next we'll head to Koh Phangan and check into our beachside accom.

Today you can do as much or as little as you like. Chill on the beach, by the pool or explore the island. We'll also treat you to a traditional Thai massage. The next day is all about exploring the very best of Koh Phangan, including some of the island's best secret spots and lesser known beaches. You'll spend the day sun bathing and snorkelling, then this evening we'll tuck into a tasty beach BBQ.

All that beach time got you feeling a little lazy? We've got just the thing to get you moving - a Muay Thai boxing class or a private yoga class.

Tonight's our last on Koh Phangan, so we'll be heading out as a group for some after dark fun. Swapping one island paradise for another, we'll then wave goodbye to Koh Phangan and say ‘sawasdee' to Phi Phi. Arriving late afternoon, we'll check in to our beautiful resort then head out for dinner, drinks and a beach party.

Don't forget your snorkel and sunscreen today as we'll be heading off on a boat trip around the impossibly beautiful Phi Phi Leh. Snorkelling, kayaking and even an after dark underwater light show are all on the cards, and we'll top the day off with dinner and drinks under the stars. *There is a possibility we may not be able to enter right into Maya Bay at certain times of year due to government closures

We'll kick things off with a hike to one of Phi Phi's best viewpoints, followed by a private boat trip to some of the most beautiful islands surrounding ours. At dinner tonight you'll feel salty and satisfied from a day of sun, sea and fun. The next morning we'll be taking a boat to Phuket, where we will spend a chilled afternoon, finishing the night with a sunset dinner and drinks!

This morning, we'll make our way to the culturally diverse capital of northern Thailand - Chiang Mai, checking in to our traditional guesthouse in the old city. We will explore the city, chill or do some shopping, then head out for a night out in the town! The next day is a full day trip exploring the culture and natural wonders of Chiang Mai.

First up is the iconic Doi Suthep Temple followed by buffet lunch on local fish farm before visiting the fascinating ‘sticky' waterfalls.

Waking up to the sounds of the jungle, we'll continue our trek this before bamboo rafting down the river! This evening either chill out or experience more of Chiang Mai's nightlife.

Saving one of the best experiences till last, today we'll be getting up close and personal with Thailand's most sacred animal - elephants. Visiting a sanctuary focused on protecting elephants rescued from hard lives, we'll learn about their history and important connection to rural communities, and see them interact in their natural environment. Your unforgettable 18 day adventure comes to an end the following day.
