Travel Map

Day 1: Start Bangkok

Hey there travellers! Let’s hope you’re ready for 9 days of Thai island thrills. We’ll store our bags for the day and guess what? You’re free to spend today however you please. We highly recommend catching up on the best of Bangkok’s food scene with our optional lunch...

Day 2: Surat Thani to Koh Pha Ngan

Are you ready? Today’s the day we hop to our first island. We’ll arrive at Surat Thani at the crack of dawn, and head straight to Koh Pha Ngan. (Already getting some insane ocean views too!) Welcome to the land of flawless beaches and perfect aquamarine water. Get som...

Day 3: Koh Pha Ngan

Mornin' travellers! Today's agenda? Doing anything & everything you like! Chillin' on the beach. Relaxing with a massage. Exploring the island. You do you. Oh, and if you want some free time recs, your Trip Manager will point you in the right direction.

Shiralea Backpackers Resort (or similar)

Breakfast

Day 4: Koh Pha Ngan to Koh Tao

Will we be sad to leave Koh Pha Ngan today? Maybe slightly. But with another swaying palm tree destination calling our names, we're hardly sobbing into our backpacks. Today, we’ll take a ferry to Koh Tao. And the island vibes are just getting better! Drop your bags of...

Day 5: Koh Tao

Getting under water should be a high priority today. Abounding in coral beauty and (wait for it) sea turtles, Koh Tao's diving reputation makes even the aquaphobes jump right in! Grab a snorkel for an island cruise and adventure, right under the waves! Above land, the...

Day 6: Koh Tao

Explore the narrow streets. Chill in the pool. Or dive deep into the ocean. Today you’re free to explore however you like. But if you’re feeling particularly adventurous, you could do some Koh Tao Diving! Explore the Gulf of Thailand, and get a guided tour of the vibr...

Day 7: Koh Tao to Koh Samui

Today we swap one ocean paradise for another, departing Koh Tao and cruising the turquoise waters to reach Koh Samui. Can snorkelling, swimming, soaking up the rays and sipping on fresh coconuts ever get boring? Hmm...no. Our first night in Koh Samui will see us takin...

Day 8: Koh Samui

If you've got a taste for adventure, this glorious island offers plenty to keep hungry explorers enthralled. Take a tour on a Jeep Safari to visit the highlights of Samui. Admire the mighty Wat Phra Yai temple with its 15-metre golden Buddha statue, or see the super o...

Day 9: Koh Samui

Armed with a totally zen outlook and a backpack full of incredible new memories,it’s time to say your teary goodbyes to your new wolf-pack. Don’t forget to exchange deets. There’s another collection of Thai islands just waiting to be explored.
