It's day 1 and the first day of your EPIC 16-day trip! Our TruNinja, as we call our tour guides, go above and beyond, are super cool and eccentric and can solve most problems in a flash. We'll take you straight to our hotel, and the afternoon is free for you to explore and settle in. Get some good wifi and update your Instagram story that you've made it to one of the greatest cities in the world. It's the first night, so we'll take you to the infamous Khao San Road, one of the best places in Bangkok! Grab a beer, meet your new TruCrew, it's going to be a crazy 16 days.

Activity: Welcome Dinner

Day 2 and we are UNDERWAY... You see me rolling... We explore the capital by water! We take a longtail boat along the Chao Phraya River. The best way to explore Bangkok and experience some of Thailand's cultural heritage. We go to two prestigious temples - Wat Arun and Wat Pho! You'll see the famous, super impressive giant golden reclining Buddha statue. Wat Pho really?! You got that right! The rest of the day is yours to explore, treat yourself to a massage, indulge in some delicious street food or visit the markets for a spot of shopping. Have you even visited Thailand if you don't own elephant trousers? In the evening, meet up for dinner and drinks and see where the night takes us!

River cruise through Bangkok, temple visits to Wat Arun & Wat Pho, tuk tuk ride

Breakfast

Relax this morning, nurse that hangover. How? You ask. Well, we're going to indulge in a traditional Thai massage! Relax, release all the knots from sleeping uncomfortably on the plane and let all the worries of life disappear. We'll be travelling overnight by train to the south, where we'll swap the hustle and bustle of the big city of Bangkok for the tranquil lakes of the stunning Khao Sok National Park - located in the Surat Thani province of Thailand. Spending the night on the train is one of the best ways to travel in Thailand and is an experience in itself!

Breakfast

Massage & night train

Today we are up and about; we take a longtail boat to our incredible floating bungalows. Khao Sok is renowned for its beauty, and our accommodation will not disappoint! On the way, we cool off with a short dive. When we arrive, we'll try out some kayaking, relax, you're in paradise. Sit back with a beer in a giant rubber tube. You're in the middle of a limestone mountain range, swimming in a freshwater lake surrounded by rainforest. Are we in Jurassic Park? It definitely looks like it. Minus the crazy dinosaurs, of course.

We're up and enjoying a little breakfast before heading off to Koh Phangan. And boy, do we have an exciting day planned for you! The ultimate TruExclusive! You won't get this anywhere else. We're taking you to Bottle Beach where we'll be spending the night! A hidden gem in Thailand, quiet, beautiful and only accessible by boat. The beach is quite secluded, so don't be surprised if we have the place to ourselves! We stay in beach huts with the sea on our doorstep. Relax here for the rest of the afternoon, splash around in the sea or challenge the rest of the TruCrew to an ultimate game of beach volleyball. Whatever you want to do, it's your day. In the evening, we enjoy dinner together. The cocktails are flowing and the sun is setting as we sit around the campfire on the beach. Can it get any better? Yes! We have our own private fire show!

Breakfast

Wake up to the soothing sounds of waves rolling on the beach. Are you dreaming? No! This is your reality. Wake up in paradise and the morning is yours to spend as you wish. Grab a kayak and hit the water to top up your already golden tan, or take a trip to the local viewpoint. Hey, if you want a leisurely morning and a bit of a sleep in, do that instead and catch up on some zzz's. In the afternoon, we'll be picked up and taken to a local gym to try our luck at Muay Thai boxing, Thailand's national sport. You may not be a natural, but you'll definitely learn a thing or two! Afterwards, we head to our next accommodation. A beach hostel where we will spend the next 2 nights. If you fancy a few evening drinks, your Travel Ninja is ready to take you out and show you the coolest bars in Haad Rin. You know the drill... You know?

Outlook Trek & Muay Tahi lessons

Time to set off on a trip around Koh Phangan! Grab a welcome drink as we board the boat and the music starts to play as we explore the island. We know, we know, we're travelling in style. As the day progresses, we'll stop, grab the snorkels and mask and dive in! Thailand's marine life is incredible, so snorkelling is a must! We'll explore some of the best beaches on the island. Play our favourite beach game of volleyball, take a dip in the sea or build a human pyramid on the sand with your TruFam. Whatever you prefer. In the evening, we return to our hotel to relax by the pool before freshening up for a fun night out. Yes, we said it, we're going out AUS!

Island boat trip & snorkelling

Lunch

Today we're going on an epic road trip where you'll see waterfalls, beaches and beautiful viewpoints! In the evening, we'll meet up at our hostel for the ultimate UV painting session to get ready for the Full Moon Party. It's legendary, spectacular and you couldn't be with a better group. We'll take you to the best places to pre-glow before we head to the Full Moon Party. If you're tough enough to last until sunrise (it's the best part), join us at the after-party, which starts at 6am. You know the old saying. No rest for the wicked, right?

*Please note that the Full Moon Party takes place on a specific date each month, so our activities can sometimes be postponed. But don't worry, you won't miss anything!)

Island road trip and full moon party

It's been a wild few days, and today is all about recovery. Relax, recharge, hydrate. It's been a long night, so the only thing planned for today is a relaxing Thai massage and possibly a cosy evening watching a film at a local bar. If you're one of those crazy top-scoring party animals who turned up just in time for breakfast, spend the day in bed, catch up on some sleep or grab a fantastic toastie from 7/11. The ultimate hangover cure.

Free day, massage

Today we board a short ferry and travel to Koh Tao. Some call it the 'turtle island'. We call it paradise on earth. We will spend the next 2 nights here. Koh Tao was recently voted 'Best Island in South East Asia', so trust us when we say we'll take you to the best of the BEST. Our hotel is located just 5 minutes away from the beautiful Sairee beach. Oh yes, we love a beach. After checking in, get cosy before we meet up for dinner and a few drinks.

Koh Tao

Ferry to Koh Tao

Today we grab a boat from Koh Tao and head to the neighbouring island of Koh Nang Yuan. It's postcard-worthy, even worth a video call to your mum from the top of the viewpoint. It's one of the best places in all of Thailand! Snorkelling in the Japanese Garden before venturing up! The view from the top is spectacular, overlooking the neighbouring beaches and bays. Go on, get the ultimate insta photo here, hey, our travelling ninja is pretty much a professional and vogue photographer by now anyway. We then head back to Koh Tao where we have a couple of hours before we meet up for dinner and join the famous KOH TAO PUB CRAWL! Who loves a pub crawl? WE DO! Sing along with us! Koh - Tao! Koh - Tao!!! We head out to the bars in our matching Koh Tao t-shirts. You know, "been there, done that, got the t-shirt"!

Koh Nang Yuan Day Trip & Pub Tour

Lunch

Today is a day off! So, if you went a little too crazy on the cocktails last night and your head hurts a little.... Relax. If you're feeling fresher than a daisy on a summer morning, get out and explore. Tanote Bay is one of our favourite places on the island, and if you can get enough energy together to go there, you won't regret it! In the evening we hop on the overnight ferry to the mainland where we are picked up by our private minibus, equipped with music & DVD player. We're travelling in style, baby. We head to the west coast and on to our next destination. The world famous Phi Phi Islands!!!

Overnight boat

Free day

We're on Phi Phi, you bastards! Checking into our accommodation before heading to the island's viewpoint. Phi Phi may be small, but once you're here, you'll never want to leave! You'll be crazy about this place! P.S. try the coconuts, they are delicious. It's a bit of a hike to get to the viewpoint, so grab some water, that terrible R'n'B playlist from the 2000s you made at home and off you go! In the evening, we head out into the island's vibrant nightlife. Ready to dance your socks off? Joking aside, in Thailand we only wear flip-flops, of course!

Viewpoint trek & nightlife

Are you in love yet? Imagine seeing this place where Leonardo DiCaprio filmed "The Beach". Leonardo DiCaprio entered this place in person. Ok, we're drooling already. Today we're taking you on a boat trip to explore the surrounding islands! First, we'll stop at Monkey Beach! We get up close to the cheeky monkeys, but not too close of course, and visit the beach they inhabit. We stop at the Viking Caves before dropping by the entrance to Maya Bay, also known as the filming location for our heartbreaker of old, DiCaprio. Lunch is included on the boat, and we end the day enjoying the sunset, ice cold beer in hand. Perfection... the day or DiCaprio? You decide.

Lunch

It's our last night. We're not crying... Maybe you are. We have to go out with a bang! We hop on the island boat and head to Phuket, the largest of the Thai islands and where we will end our magical journey. In the evening we head out to explore and experience the wonders of Phuket & Patong. Is it going to be a bit crazy? PHUKET! WHY NOT! After all, you're on holiday ;)

Phuket Nightlife

Today is the day we have to say goodbye, we are not ready, we know that. It's been an epic, crazy, groundbreaking 16 days, the best experience of our lives. Your Travel Ninja aka BFF after this trip is on hand to help you with your future plans. If you stay longer, we can give you recommendations on where to go next! Whatever you need, be it a ride to the airport, a huge group hug or just one last breakfast beer. We've got your back. Until next time, TruFam, we'll miss you.
