Itinerary

Bangkok baby, your adventure begins! So you’ve made it to this busy city, and you’ll have the first day to settle in and relax, meet your TruFam, go explore the local area, whatever ya fancy. In the evening, it’s time for our welcome dinner at one of our favourite res...
So you know the film Bridge Over River Kwai? Well, today we are going to see the bridge over River Kwai (surprise)! Before we head off to the river, we hop off to do some shopping and not at just any regular market, but a FLOATING one! Sick right? Once we’ve done our ...
Imagine, a 7 tier, crystal clear blue waterfall surrounded by lush greenery, sounds unreal right! Erawan falls, just an hour away from Kanchanaburi, is basically what you imagine paradise to look like. Something you would expect to see on the television and not in rea...
Today you have the morning free before we hit the road again! So choose to spend this morning how you please, whether that’s by the pool or exploring the town some more. Next, we are off to Ayutthaya, an ancient capital city, that is dripping with culture and history!...
We check into our guesthouse, which is ideally situated between the old & new areas of Chiang Mai (winning). You’ll have some time to relax by the pool or do some exploring and check out the oldest temple in Chiang Mai, which is literally right opposite our accomm...
Did someone say TruExclusive? Hell yeah, we did! You won’t find this experience anywhere else. We are off to do one of the most popular activities in Northern Thailand, a trek through the jungle. The trek doesn’t require a high level of fitness, but it is a bit of a c...
Rise and shine! Enjoy your morning in the jungle before it’s time we head back to Chiang Mai, but of course, we have a trick up our sleeve, and we are using a much better mode of transport, bamboo rafts! Sick right? We’ll float down the river with a cheeky stop at a w...
The adventure capital of Thailand (some may say), Chiang Mai! Today is one of our favourite activities, that is very popular with tourists, and that’s ziplining through the jungle! This is going to get your heart racing and adrenaline pumping, you’ll practically be fl...
After an excting few days this morning you'll have the chance to chill, read a book, grab a cocktail, do whatever floats your boat! In the afternoon, grab your bags because we will be hopping on a bus to the hippie town of Pai! Just 3 hours outside of Chiang Mai, a ve...
Day trippin’ time! Today we’ll head out to see some of Pai’s highlights, and it’s surrounding areas! Starting at the biggest cave in Thailand, Lod cave, we’ll hike through the main chambers and then take a bamboo raft along the river which runs through the cave (depen...
Chill day lets goooo! After a bit of a lie-in, spend your day lounging, swimming, playing a few games, reading a good book or having a snooze in the sun. The choice is yours (don’t forget to sun cream up though). Once we’ve had our relaxation fill, we'll head for dinner and drinks and see where the night takes us.
This morning it’s time to head back to Chiang Mai! We hope you’re ready to become the new Thai Masterchef as we are off to a cooking school to learn about some of Thailand's traditional dishes and then have a go at making them ourselves! Most of Thailand's delicious f...
So we all know the Grand Canyon but do you know of Chiang Mai’s very own Grand Canyon? Well, if not, don’t worry as you’ll get to know! This is an old excavation site, where they would dig out sand for building etc. However, now it is a man-made lagoon which has turne...
After checking out of our hotel in Chiang Mai, you’ll have some free time to explore Chiang Mai, hit up the markets one last time or spend time relaxing by the pool. It’s now time to head onto the overnight train, cos we’re going back to Bangkok baby!
We are back in Bangkok, and it’s time to explore the capital further! We’ll hop into a tuk-tuk and head to Bangkok’s most prestigious temples, Wat Arun and Wat Pho, which is home to the infamous gold reclining Buddha. We will then ditch the tuks tuks for long-tail boa...
Alexa, play Don’t Stop Believing by Journey. Yes, you are taking the midnight train but not just to anywhere! Goodbye Bangkok and hello Khao Sok national park. So we arrive into Surat Thani, but we are off to the floating bungalows and serene lakes which are situated in the national park. Get those sleeping masks on as it’s time to catch some Zzzz’s.
Okay, so we know everyone says this, but we actually mean it because this place is PARADISE (Coldplay were right). It’s like something out of a movie, but it’s all real! Imagine clear turquoise lakes, unreal surrounding landscapes and then the best bit, floating bunga...
Get ready for a TruExclusive, an experience that you won’t find anywhere else. Rise and shine, we are up bright and early to enjoy breakfast by the lake before we head to the island of Koh Phangan. When we arrive at the island, it’s straight to Bottle beach which is s...
Ahh, wake up to the sound of the waves and an unreal view, chilled vibes only. You’ll have some free time before we leave Bottle Beach in the afternoon, so you can choose how you would like to spend this time. Whether it be some kayaking, topping up your tan and loung...
You are in for a treat today because we are going on a boat trip around Koh Phangan! We will be stopping off at the best snorkelling spots around the island, so dive in (if you can dive, if not jumping is fine too) and see what exotic sea life you can find. The day is...
Today we say goodbye to Northern Thailand and Beaches, but don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened! You’ll be leaving with some amazing memories, to cherish forever, and also a pretty amazing bunch of friends you’ve just made or shall we say, an amazing TruFamily. If you are continuing your adventure, then our TruNinjas will be more than happy to help. Until then, stay epic Trufam
