Itinerary

Day 1  Bangkok        
Arrive in the hubbub of Bangkok and jump in a transfer to your first hotel. Once you’re settled in, get to know your TruTravels crew with an evening out on the famous Khao San Road for some delicious street food and drinks.        

Day 2  Bangkok        
After a leisurely morning by the pool, board a traditional longtail boat to ride through Bangkok’s canals. Visit some of the city’s most ornate temples with your guide, then explore like a local in a tuk-tuk, weaving through the colourful city streets.      
Day 3  Bangkok to Surat Thani        
It’s been a busy few days, so treat yourself to an included Thai massage to rest your weary muscles. Later on, board an overnight train to the south and let the gentle swaying of the carriage rock you to sleep.        

Day 4  Surat Thani to Khao Sok National Park        
Pull into the station early this morning and board a longtail boat into the national park. Cruise through breathtaking scenery of limestone karst mountains rising from the emerald lake – and feel free to jump out for a swim! Your accommodation tonight is an incredible floating lodge. Check in and wile away the afternoon relaxing in a tube or exploring in a kayak. Dinner is in the resort’s floating restaurant – obviously!        

Day 5  Khao Sok National Park to Koh Phangan    
Once you’ve torn yourself away from your floating home in the jungle, today has another exclusive destination in store. Only accessible by boat and 4WD, journey to the stunningly beautiful Bottle Beach. You and the group have it to yourselves for the night, so spend the day frolicking in the sea, hiking, or lazing on the shore. As the sun goes down, enjoy some cocktails around the campfire.        

Day 6  Koh Phangan        
Wake up to the sound of the waves breaking on the beach and have a chilled out morning recharging your batteries. In the afternoon, head to a local gym for an introductory lesson in the ancient art of Muay Thai boxing, then check into your next resort with the best bars in Koh Phangan on your doorstep.    

Day 7  Koh Phangan        
Set off on a full day boat tour around the magical island of Koh Phangan. Cruise around the tropical coastline, stopping off at tiny islets and snorkelling spots along the way. Lunch is provided on board while you soak up some rays on the deck. Return in time for sunset and get ready for another big night out.  

Day 8  Koh Phangan Full Moon Party        
It’s halfway through your Thai adventure, and an unbelievable day lies ahead. First, head down to ‘The Challenge’, a huge obstacle course floating in the ocean where you can bounce off huge slides and inflatable balls, or just watch everyone else fall in. This evening, the legendary Full Moon Party beckons! Get kitted out in UV paint and dance until sunrise, and beyond…        

Day 9  Koh Phangan  
Today is set aside for recovery and relaxation. Catch up on some sleep, wind down with a massage, and prepare for a new destination tomorrow.      

Day 10  Koh Phangan to Koh Tao      
Say hello to Koh Tao, home to the best diving in Thailand. Check into your hotel near Sairee Beach and spend the afternoon exploring the town or beach.      

Day 11  Koh Tao      
Today experience the underwater world that has made Koh Tao world renowned. Take your snorkelling gear out to beautiful Koh Nang Yuan and see if you can find Nemo amongst the array of incredible marine life. If you would like to arrange a scuba diving lesson, speak to your friendly guide!

Day 12  Koh Tao to Koh Phi Phi      
It’s up to you how to spend your final day in Koh Tao – you could scale limestone cliffs on a rock climbing excursion, return to the deep for another dive, or simply read a book under a palm tree. This evening, set out on an overnight boat journey across the gulf to stunning Koh Phi Phi Don.

Day 13  Koh Phi Phi      
Enjoy a free day to explore this chilled out island. Trek up to the viewpoint for some oh so insta-worthy vistas, kick back on the beach or roam around town on a souvenir hunt; the choice is yours.    

Day 14  Koh Phi Phi  
Today you will visit one of the most recognisable places in Thailand, or perhaps the world. Maya Bay was made famous by Leo Dicaprio’s film ‘The Beach’, and for good reason – it is jaw-droppingly beautiful. With a full day here, you can do some more snorkelling, visit Viking Cave and Monkey Beach, then watch the crimson sunset from your boat.        

Day 15  Koh Phi Phi to Phuket      
The final stop on your amazing journey is the island of Phuket. Check into your hotel near lively Patong Beach and get ready for a big celebratory last night out with your new travel family.        

Day 16  Phuket  
Check out after breakfast and depart at any time.
