Wake up with the sounds of the jungle as the sun rises over the lake. If you're up early, why not take an early boat safari to see wild elephants and maybe the elusive sun bear?

Day 20: Koh Samui to Koh Tao

Today we'll hop from one island to the next! As Thailand's top destination for snorkelling and scuba diving, Koh Tao is where travellers can encounter a stunning variety of marine life - especially turtles! Once we're settled into our place of stay, our only plan is to chill out and maybe explore Tao's secluded stretches of sand.

Day 21: Koh Tao free day

It's your last few days on the Thai islands, so soak it up! Take one of the island's world-class diving courses, hike into the lush coastal jungles, or simply hang out on the lovely beach. After dark, hit the beachside bars for a few drinks with your mates.

Day 22: Koh Tao snorkelling trip

Today we'll take a brilliant boat trip that loops around the entire island, with stops at all the best snorkelling spots in the area as well as the eye-catching island of Koh Nang Yuan. Sail back after the most amazing adventure, ready for a night in the beach bars.

Day 23: Koh Tao to Bangkok

We're leaving Koh Tao behind today and travelling back to our old friend, Bangkok. Sit back and relax as the ferry and bus speed you back to the city. Check into your hostel before throwing yourself into the bustling streets for a wild night out.

Day 24: Bangkok

Enjoy a free day exploring the capital at your leisure, before joining a street food crawl this evening through Yaowarat Road: Bangkok's own Chinatown! Sample a variety of different street food which is a melting pot of local Thai and Chinese flavours. As it's the last night, let's cheers to an epic trip!

Please note: on some departures, you may visit Jodd Fair Market instead of ChinaTown street food tour. Please speak with a travel advisor for more information.

Day 25: Trip end

It's time to pack your bags, swap numbers and hug your new friends goodbye - your amazing Thai Adventure has come to an end. See you next time!

Please note activities and itineraries are subject to change.

Free Time

On this trip you will have some free time to explore on your own or with others in your group. During your free time, you decide how to spend your time. Some travellers like to go out in the evenings for a meal and then carry on the party but there is no expectation to do so. If you prefer to chill and wake up with a clear head, then there are plenty of great options too!

Moon Parties in Koh Phangan

Visit Samui's neighbouring island of Koh Phangan on one of your free days (as a day trip from Samui) at the right time and you can experience the legendary moon parties, like the Full Moon Party. Check out our guides and make sure they line up with your travel dates or speak to one of our expert travel advisors for help:

Arrival Information:

Arrival
Arrive at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) where you’ll be met and taken to your starting accommodation in the city. There are no activities planned for today, apart from a welcome meeting this evening, so arrive whenever suits you best. However, please note that airport transfers are only available between 6am and 10pm on day 1. If you arrive outside these hours, or at Bangkok’s smaller airport (Don Muang), you will need to take a taxi to your hotel, which is very easy to arrange.

Departure
If you’re on the 25-day trip, your itinerary takes you on a full loop and ends in Bangkok, so the departure airport is the same as arrival. You can depart at any time on your end date. Return transfer from your Bangkok accommodation to the airport is not included however your guide can organise this for you if you like.

If you’ve taken the 18-day option, your trip ends on Koh Samui. You can fly direct from Samui to Bangkok, and this is easy to arrange. Ask one of our travel advisors for more information. If you’re staying on in Asia, we can also help with any onward travel.
