Thailand Island Hopper - 12 Day

Arrive in Bangkok and enjoy a hassle-free airport transfer straight to your hotel. Take some time to settle in, freshen up, and meet the rest of the group before heading out for a welcome dinner — the perfect way to break the ice and kick off the trip. Later, dive into Bangkok’s vibrant nightlife, from rooftop bars to hidden local spots, as your first night in Thailand sets the scene for the adventure ahead.

Leave the fast-paced streets of Bangkok behind as you fly south to Phuket and ease into island life. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere changes — think warm ocean air, swaying palms, and laid-back beach vibes. Spend the afternoon however you like, whether that’s relaxing by the water, swimming, or checking out local food spots. In the evening, head out with the group for optional drinks and a night exploring Patong’s famous Bangla Road, packed with neon lights, music, and one of Thailand’s most iconic nightlife scenes.

Journey across the Andaman Sea to Koh Phi Phi, one of Thailand’s most famous island destinations. After checking in, spend the afternoon exploring the lively beachside streets, sipping fresh fruit shakes, relaxing on the sand, or hiking up to the iconic Phi Phi Viewpoint for an unforgettable sunset. As night falls, the island comes alive with beach parties, fire shows, music, and dancing under the stars — the kind of energy that makes Phi Phi a true backpacker favourite.

Spend the day discovering Phi Phi’s stunning bays and towering limestone cliffs on a full-day island-hopping and snorkelling adventure. Swim in crystal-clear lagoons, float through the breathtaking Pi Leh Lagoon, spot monkeys at Monkey Bay, and relax on the white sands of Bamboo Island. With lunch included and plenty of time to swim, snorkel, and soak up the scenery, it’s easily one of the highlights of the trip. In the evening, enjoy some free time for dinner, beach bars, and Phi Phi’s vibrant nightlife.

Say goodbye to Phi Phi as you make your way back to the mainland and into the beautiful region of Krabi. Settle into Ao Nang, a laid-back beach town known for its scenic coastline, great food, and relaxed atmosphere. Spend the afternoon however you like — unwind on the beach, enjoy a Thai massage, or dive into the local street food scene. In the evening, choose to relax or head out with the group for another fun night together.

Explore one of the area’s most breathtaking destinations — Hong Island. Cruise across crystal-clear turquoise waters, snorkel alongside vibrant marine life, and hike up to the island’s stunning viewpoint for incredible panoramic views. Whether you spend the day relaxing on the beach or discovering hidden lagoons and coves, it’s easily one of the most scenic and unforgettable days of the trip.

This marks the end of the 8-day trip, but for those continuing on, the adventure takes a turn into the heart of the jungle. Journey to the breathtaking Khao Sok Lake, a peaceful escape surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and lush rainforest. After lunch at Smiley Lake House, spend the afternoon kayaking, swimming, or simply unwinding from your floating bungalow. Dinner is included, and the evening is all about embracing the tranquillity of this incredible setting — a world away from the buzz of the islands.

Begin the day with an early morning lake safari, gliding across the water as mist lifts and the local wildlife comes to life. After breakfast, continue your journey east toward Koh Samui, passing through lush countryside before crossing the Gulf of Thailand. Once you arrive, check into your accommodation and enjoy a free evening at your own pace. Chaweng, the island’s nightlife hub, offers plenty of beach bars, music, and a lively atmosphere to explore.

Set off for the breathtaking Ang Thong Marine Park for a full-day island adventure. Paddle through hidden coves, snorkel among tropical fish, hike up to panoramic viewpoints, and unwind on secluded beaches. One of Thailand’s most spectacular natural wonders, this day is a true highlight of the trip. Lunch is included, and you’ll return in the evening ready for a relaxed night back at your accommodation.

Enjoy a completely free day to spend exactly how you choose. Unwind on the beach, chase waterfalls, join an optional activity, explore Fisherman’s Village, or treat yourself to a traditional Thai massage. Koh Samui offers the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure, giving you the chance to recharge, explore, or dive deeper into island life at your own pace.

This is the end point for the 12-day trip
