Itinerary

Touch down in Thailand's capital. After checking into our hotel there'll be time for DIY exploring, a massage or lying by the pool to catch the first of that sweet tropical sunshine.

Later we'll rendezvous back at base so you can hear what's in store for the trip, then the night is yours to enjoy authentic Pad thai & the Khao San road nightlife. Stay: W22 by Burasari (or similar)

This morning why not opt to view the intricacies of the Grand Palace of Bangkok as they are peeled back by a Local Guide, or if that's not your thing, dig into some street food or indulge in a Thai massage. Come evening we'll be riding the comfortable overnight train to Surat Thani. (B) Stay: Overnight Train

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. (L/D) Stay: Riverside Cottages (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. (B/L/D) Stay: Sai Chon Raft House (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. For some of us, cocktails and coconuts poolside will be high priority; for others, a poke around the markets and a swim in the ocean overlooking Thailand's iconic vista of islands will be the call of the day. No matter how you choose to kick it, the good times are guaranteed. (B) Stay: Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort (or similar)

Smiles will be broad over breakfast this morning as we settle in for another day in Krabi. A half day cruise of the islands and Rai Lei beach is up for grabs, if you can drag yourself away from pool hangs at our hotel. Either way, a bit of swimsuit action and water submersion is pretty much a given. (B)

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. (B)
