What's this trip about?

    Looking for the ultimate Thai experience? Look no further! Here we combine 2 of our most popular tours Northern Thailand Adventure and Full Moon Experience for the most EPIC 23 days of your life! Starting in Bangkok and finishing in Koh Phangan, we’re bringing you to some of the most famous places to visit in Thailand and a few hidden gems and TruExclusives of course. We visit local temples in Bangkok, trek the jungle and stay with a hill tribe in Chiang Mai, visit an elephant sanctuary and that’s before we’ve even head South! Spend our days kayaking around the tranquil lake in Khao Sok National Park and sleeping under the stars in floating bungalows (yep, you heard us right), snorkelling out on our longtail boat trips in Koh Phangan before partying till the sun comes up at the world-famous Full Moon Party! Is this a bucket list trip? Hell, yeah! Are you ready to go? Obv.
