Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive At Bangkok
Location: Bangkok
We’ll be there to pick you up from either of Bangkok’s airports and then bring you back to our hotel where the trip begins. Settle in, and opt to either relax by the pool or go for a stroll and explore your local surroundings. We’ll all meet in the evening where you’ll be able to get to know the rest of your group, over dinner and drinks on the infamous Khao San Road.
TRANSPORT: You will be met at the airport and transferred to the hotel to start your adventure.
Day 2: Cruise Bangkok
Location: Bangkok
Time for some culture! Today we’ll see the city’s impressive temples and the giant reclining Buddha statue by tuk-tuk, and enjoy a cruise along the Chao Phraya River on a traditional longtail boat. The rest of the day is yours to explore, try some local Thai cuisine, or have a go at bartering at some of the street markets in the city - you might bag a bargain! In the evening, we’ll all meet up again for dinner, drinks and more group bonding.
ACTIVITY:
Day 3: Massage & Overnight Train
Location: Bangkok
In the morning, enjoy a nice and relaxing massage, chill by the pool, or explore more of your surroundings. In the afternoon, we’ll all board a sleeper train south for the night, as we swap the hustle & bustle of the city, for the peace and tranquility of Khao Sok national park. Don’t worry, everyone gets their own berth, and fresh linen on the train - it’s an authentic Thai experience, watching the scenery change as you head south.
TRANSPORT: Stretch out and get some well-earned rest en route to the next stop.
Day 4: Khao Sok National Park
Location: Surat Thani
Arrive into the station in the early morning, and jump into private minivans, as we make our way out to Khao Sok National Park, a TruTravels favourite. Journey out to our floating bungalows on a longtail boat, stopping for a quick dip at a couple of Instagram-worthy locations on the way. Take a kayak out for a paddle, or chill out with a beer in a tube. The backdrop here is something that needs to be seen to be believed. We’ll be staying in floating bungalows on a freshwater lake surrounded by rainforest; it doesn’t get more relaxing.
ACTIVITY:
TRANSPORT: Settle in and enjoy the ride aboard one of these always-unique riverboats.
Day 5: Travel To Koh Phangan
Location: Khao Sok
Meals Included: BREAKFAST
Enjoy a freshly prepared breakfast, after a morning dip in the lake; before we board a ferry & head across to Koh Phangan. When we get there, we head straight to the secluded paradise of Bottle Beach; another TruTravels favourite. It’s quiet, beautiful, only accessible by boat; and to make it better, we get pretty much the whole place to ourselves, staying in beach bungalows overlooking the ocean. Relax here for the rest of the afternoon, enjoy some volleyball, sunbathing on the beach or swimming in the ocean. In the evening we’ll enjoy dinner & some cocktails on the beach, complete with a campfire with our own private fire show. Paradise.
ACTIVITY:
Day 6: Muay Thai Lesson
Location: Koh Phangan
Wake up to the sound of waves lapping up on the beach merely metres from your bungalow. The morning is free for you to spend as you like; top up the tan, go kayaking, play volleyball, or just enjoy a lay in. In the afternoon we head to a local gym for some Muay Thai boxing training, Thailand’s national sport. After working up a sweat, we head to our awesome accommodation to freshen up. It’s got a great bar, and atmosphere; the ideal location to spend the the last nights of the trip.
ACTIVITY:
Day 7: Island Boat Trip
Location: Koh Phangan
Head out on a cruise around Koh Phangan, taking in the scenery and enjoying some snorkelling at the best spots around the island. It gets better though, we throw in a free bucket & lunch; and awesome day out. In the evening, head back to our accommodation for a dip, dinner and drinks.
ACTIVITY:
Day 8: The Challenge & Full Moon Party
Location: Koh Phangan
Enjoy a day party at one of the biggest and craziest waterslides in Southeast Asia! We will meet in our hostel that night for a UV painting session to get us ready for the Full Moon Experience. We will take you to the best pre-drinking spots before hitting the Full Moon party in TruTravels style! Those of you hardcore enough to make it to sunrise (the best bit); may even get to join us at the after-party which starts at 6am! No rest for the wicked.
ACTIVITY:
Day 9: Recovery Day
Location: Koh Phangan
Meals Included: DINNER
Depending on what time you stumble in from the party, you will probably need some of today to sleep & recover, which is why the only planned activity today is a nice relaxing massage and possibly a film at a local bar. Who doesn’t love spending some time relaxing in a hammock by the beach?
ACTIVITY:
Day 10: Chilled Check Out
Location: Koh Phangan
Today you will have to check out by midday. If you have not booked any onward travel then we are on hand to help plan your next step. We can help you stay longer in Phangan, transport back to Bangkok or almost anywhere else in Asia. The world is your oyster!
ACTIVITY: Your trusty travel ninja is on hand to assist you.
