Itinerary
welcome to thailand!


Touch down in Bangkok! Check-in, drop your bags and let's start exploring. Whether you are craving a Pad Thai or want to dive straight into some culture, Bangkok is the perfect city to wander around when you are feeling a little jet-lagged. This evening you'll meet your group and head out for dinner and drinks to get to know each other better! After our first proper taste of Thailand's incredible food scene, we can explore some markets and see where the night takes us!
temples and boat rides


Rise and shine! Welcome to your first full day in Thailand. We've got a jam-packed day today that's going to fill your cup in SO many ways. We're starting off by heading over to Rhra Pinklao Bridge pier to jump on a long tail boat to explore the city by water. This is the perfect way to travel over to today's awesome temples. In the afternoon we'll visit Wat Arun and Wat Pho (aka The Temple of the Reclining Buddha) and learn all about the local practices. Then it's back to the hotel to chill before heading out to explore Bangkok at night!

It's our final day in Bangkok and it's up to you how you spend it! Whether you fancy hitting up some markets, exploring more of the city's culture or trying some more of Bangkok's specialities (mango sticky rice is calling) this is the day to do as you please! Later this afternoon we will visit the motherland (aka 7/11) to grab some snacks ready for the overnight train! Watch as the bustle of Bangkok melts away and in its place, striking scenes of the tranquil lake of Khao Sok National Park – situated in the Surat Thani province of Thailand.
khao sok floating bungalows


Wakey wakey! This morning we'll arrive at one of our favourite places in the world - Khao Sok National Park. It is one of the Tru Wonders of the World and you'll understand why when you arrive. After a lunch prepared by our amazing hosts, the afternoon is free to spend doing whatever you'd like. Jump into a kayak, take a swim or just sit back and admire the view. Later on, we are off on a boat trip to explore the local area and if we're lucky, we might stop by some of the giant local residents - elephants! Then we'll come back to our floating bungalows and enjoy some dinner surrounded by the beauty of Khao Sok.
khao sok to krabi


Wake up in paradise and enjoy some breakfast whilst you soak in the views. From here we are heading to Krabi, a top tier location in Thailand! Once we arrive you have the afternoon to chill and relax on the beach. The local town is only a 15 minute walk so if you fancy an afternoon wander to the shops and sights you can do that too!
boat trip to railay


After some breakfast, we are out on an awesome day trip by boat! Today we are hitting some of the hotspots including Chicken Island, Thale Waek, Phranang Cave in Railay and Poda Island. If you came here looking for insane beaches and the bluest water you have ever seen...today might just be your favourite! To end the day in style we'll watch a magical sunset from the boat before heading back to dry land. What a day!
ferry to phi phi islands


If you are coming to Thailand the Phi Phi islands are unmissable! This morning we'll wake up and catch the ferry over to these dreamy islands. Once we have arrived we'll spend the afternoon soaking in the local nature and heading up to one of the most iconic spots in Thailand. This viewpoint is something special so get your cameras ready. Then after an afternoon exploring we'll have some dinner, a few sunset beers (of course) and see where the night takes us.
island hopping day trip


More beaches? YES PLEASE! Have you even been to Thailand if you haven't ticked off the iconic Phi Phi beaches? Today we are island hopping and snorkelling our way around. We'll visit Maya Bay, Bamboo island and Monkey beach. With a local lunch prepared on the boat too this day will have you living your best beach babe (or boy) life!
travel to phuket


Phuket is calling! This morning we'll jump aboard a ferry towards Phuket. Once we arrive we'll explore Phuket's markets, bars and Patong Beach. Our hotel here has everything you could want too, a lush pool AND a gym (if you are that way inclined.)
phuket's white buddha and laem phromthep


This morning we'll have a chilled morning so read a book, have a swim or have a nice long lie-in. Then this afternoon we are off to visit the White Buddha and Laem Phromthep. The Laem Phromthep viewpoint is beautiful so get your cameras ready. We'll grab a couple of beers and watch yet another sunset in style - we're living the dream!
travel to chiang mai


The early bird catches...a flight to Chiang Mai! We're headed over to our final destination. We'll catch a short flight (so make sure you have all the plane snacks ready) and check in to our hotel (it's a beauty!) In the evening we'll go for a walking tour of Chiang Mai and of course, hit up some of the famous night markets - mango sticky rice anyone?
chiang mai exploring


Today we're hitting up the old town! Our Tru Leader will take us out for a walking tour around the old town and show us Wat Phra Singh and Wat Chedi Luang temples. In the afternoon you can do as you please, book a massage, visit some of the local shops or something else that you are yet to tick off your bucket list!
hill tribe homestay & trek


Ready to go rural? Today we are headed to a local Hill Tribe! To get there we'll take a trek through some of the most beautiful nature northern Thailand has to offer. We'll have stops along the way to check out some waterfalls and get some snacks too. The trek doesn’t require a high level of fitness, but it is a bit of a challenge SO beers will be very well-deserved afterwards! We’ll spend one night with the hill tribe and find out all about their traditions, daily life and more.
time to see some elephants!


Wakey wakey! It's our final day on tour so we are wasting no time. We'll wake up early and head to see some gentle giants in a local sanctuary. Here we'll see the amazing elephants and learn about how they are looked after by the locals. Then we'll go bamboo rafting and head for some lunch. In the afternoon we will arrive back in the centre of Chiang Mai and enjoy our last day exploring. Then it's time for a final night out...we're not crying you are! There'll be tears, numbers swapped and maybe some emotional speeches over dinner.
chilled checkout


It's check out day. If you are continuing your adventure, then your Tru Leader can help with any onward travel or inspiration for your next steps! It's been the most incredible 15 days and we have made memories to last a lifetime...see you later alligator!
