Thai Intro & Dive

Landing in Bangkok, we'll meet you at the airport and take you to your guesthouse in the heart of the travellers district, Khao San Road. Meet up with your travel crew and get excited for the adventures to come.

We'll be experiencing Bangkok from a different angle this morning as we explore the city's legendary canals, taking in the local ways of life. We'll then stop by the city's most famous temples, travelling by tuk tuk through the wild and crazy streets, before heading out for some of the best nightlife in the world!

If you love Thai food, you'll be seriously into what comes next. This morning we'll be learning the secrets of Thai cooking with a hands on class, before boarding our overnight train (with fully reclining beds) which will carry us south.

Prepare to feel like you're having a pinch me moment as we make our way to our next stop. Winding through magical limestone cliffs on a traditional long tail boat, we'll reach our floating bungalow home for the night in the dreamy Khao Sok National Park. You'll then spend the rest of the day kayaking, tubing and monkey spotting.

Let the beauty of the Thai Islands work their magic on you as we arrive into Koh Phangan, the island most famous for hosting the legendary full moon parties.

Upon arrival we'll check into Sarana, our exclusive beach side bungalows that come complete with infinity pool, gym and yoga space.

With a full day to yourself, today you can do as much or as little as you like. Chill on the beach, by the pool or explore the island.

This afternoon we'll then be treating you to a traditional Thai massage.

Today's all about exploring the very best of Koh Phangan, including some of the island's best secret spots and lesser known beaches. You'll spend the day sun bathing and snorkelling, then this evening we'll tuck into a tasty beach BBQ.

All that beach time got you feeling a little lazy? We've got just the thing to get you moving - a Muay Thai boxing class or private yoga class.

Tonight's our last on Koh Phangan, so we'll be heading out as a group for one last beach party!

Saying goodbye to your Group Leader today, you'll swap one island paradise for another as we travel to Koh Tao. Your pickup will meet you at the ferry and take you to your beach front resort for check in, then it's back to school (but in a fun way) for a lesson in SCUBA diving theory.

You'll be putting your theory skills to the test this morning as you head out on your first open water dive. Heading to one of the islands many beautiful bays, you'll undertake a shallow dive to go through some essential skills.

Two further dives are on the agenda today, where you'll reach a maximum depth of 12 metres. You'll be concentrating on putting your new found skills into action, but don't forget to also take time to appreciate the brightly coloured coral reefs, tropical fish, and perhaps even spotting a turtle or two.

Diving down to 18 metres, today's dive at the famous Chumpon Pinnacles will offer the opportunity to see bigger schools of fish, reef sharks and perhaps even a whale shark, depending on the season.

Checking out of our beach front resort this morning, you'll have two final fun dives to complete as part of your dive package. Your unforgettable 13 day adventure will then come to an end.
