About your trip

Our 11-day Thailand adventure with Leah (Offtheclocknurse) and Sahily (Travel_Nurse_Wanderer) takes us on an unforgettable journey through the vibrant streets of Bangkok, the cultural charm of Chiang Mai, and the turquoise island paradise of Phi Phi Islands and Phuket. We’ll begin with Bangkok’s dazzling skyline, golden temples, buzzing markets, and world-famous street food before heading north to Chiang Mai for serene mountain views, ancient temples, and unforgettable lantern-lit evenings. Then, we’ll trade city lights for crystal-clear waters as we explore Phuket’s stunning beaches and set off on a longtail boat to the breathtaking Phi Phi Islands, where limestone cliffs rise above emerald seas.
