Itinerary

Bangkok
Day 1
Duration: 1
Accommodation: W22 by Burasari (or similar)
Touch down in Thailand's capital. After checking into our hotel there'll be time for DIY exploring and maybe even a massage. Later we'll rendezvous back at base so you can hear what's in store for the trip, then the night is yours to do just whatever you please.
Bangkok to Surat Thani
Day 2
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Overnight Train
If you're looking for ways to fill your free time today, the Royal Palace with it's 61 acres of incredible buildings is one to add to the list. The Palace is one of the symbols of Thailand, with its golden temples gleaming in the sunshine and giving you a peep into Thailand's Royal past. You can take it all in with a local guide leading the charge. Or if local history ain't your thing, you're free to gear up for some shopping, grab a massage, or discover local street eats on a hidden food culture tour this afternoon. The word's 'one night in Bangkok' ring true, and what a night it was. We make tracks south today to Surat Thani via our local overnight train - where you'll wake up in our next destination and ready to explore it all.
Surat Thani to Khao Sok
Day 3
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Riverside Cottages (or similar)
Good morning train goers! While you were catching up on your beauty sleep, we were transporting you to Surat Thani, less than 2 hours from the paradise that is Khao Sok. Grab some breakfast before we hit the road – you’re going to need the fuel for the fun and frolics that lay ahead. Lush accommodation set amidst the jungle of Khao Sok - don't mind if we do! After you’ve settled into this dreamy new life, the day is yours to explore the lush Khao Sok National Park. Swim, take a canoe tour or just max relax under a canopy of swaying trees. It’s a tough life.NOTE: Your Khao Sok visit may start at Cheow Larn Lake before the township. All activities are still included - just in a different order. Check the hotel list for the confirmed details.
Khao Sok
Day 4
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Sai Chon Raft House (or similar)
Hopefully the birds wake you nice and early this morning - we've got a solid day of exploring coming up. First on the agenda is a long tail boat ride across Cheow Larn Lake where we'll lose ourselves in the beauty of the limestone cliffs and surrounding wilderness. After lunch we'll stay on the watercraft theme, hopping on a bamboo raft that will take us to the incredible views of Pakarang Caves. Later you can choose to go kayaking, hiking or swimming then we’ll seal off the day with a squad dinner.
Khao Sok to Krabi
Day 5
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort (or similar)
Today we transit from one paradise found to another. Waving goodbye to our jungle setting, we head off in search of the ocean-side village of Krabi. By early afternoon we’ll be slipping into the island lifestyle of Krabi. Cocktails and coconuts your priority? Go for it. Wandering through the markets? Or an ocean dip overlooking Thailand’s iconic island scenery more your vibe? Go ahead. And for those keen, this is where our Krabi Sunset Cruise kicks off — an afternoon-into-sunset adventure of island hopping, snorkelling, dinner onboard and a magical bioluminescent plankton swim after dark.
Krabi
Day 6
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort (or similar)
Smiles will be broad over breakfast this morning as we settle in for another chilled day in Krabi. Whether you’re vibing with pool hangs at the hotel, hitting the beach, or exploring the local markets, today is all about taking it easy. Swimsuit time is basically guaranteed.
End Krabi
Day 7
Duration: 1
Our trip finishes today. Saying goodbye to Thailand won't be easy, but these memories of beautiful beaches, adventures and delicious Thai food will stay in our hearts and memories forever.
