Experience the best of Thailand’s southern islands on this 11-day adventure, where turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and epic nightlife come together for the ultimate tropical escape. Start in Bangkok, soaking in the city’s culture with temple visits before boarding an overnight train south. Wake up in Koh Tao, where stunning viewpoints and crystal clear waters await. From there, we’re heading to Koh Phangan for a mix of relaxation and adventure. Finally, wrap up your trip in Koh Samui, exploring hidden beaches, bustling markets, and the famous Pig Island. Whether you’re seeking adventure, culture, or just a good time with great people, this trip is the perfect way to experience Thailand’s island magic.


Days 1 & 2: Bangkok    

Your adventure begins in Bangkok, where you’ll meet your group and enjoy a welcome dinner before exploring the lively street of Khao San Road. The next day, you’ll have time to soak in the city’s energy before boarding an overnight sleeper train - a true backpacker experience - heading North toward the mountains.

Days 3-6: Koh Tao      

Wake up in paradise as you arrive in Koh Tao, known for its stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters. Our days in Koh Tao will be filled with viewpoints, exploring the town’s charming streets, snorkeling, and relaxing on the beach. Evenings here are all about laid back vibes, delicious food, and optional nights out in some of Thailand’s best beach bars.

Days 6-9: Koh Phangan                                                             

A short ferry ride takes us to Koh Phangan, an island famous for it’s parties but with so much more to offer. You’ll stay in a jungle-style hostel, with activities that balance adventure and relaxation. Enjoy a poolside BBQ, get your heart pumping with a traditional Muay Thai class, and reset with a morning yoga session. You’ll also take part in a traditional cooking class, learning to whip up your own delicious local dishes.

Days 9-11: Koh Samui                                                             

Your final stop is Koh Samui, where we’ll make the most of our days in Thailand. We’ll visit Overlap stone for some of the best views on the island, and wander through the famous Fisherman’s Market to try some of the famous Thai street food. The trip ends on a high note with a visit to Pig Island, where you’ll spend the day snorkeling and soaking up the sun alongside the island’s famous pigs before saying goodbye to your new bff’s.
