About this trip

This is a 13-day guided group trip through Thailand with a step up in comfort — think floating bungalows and jungle tree houses rather than basic hostels. It moves from Bangkok's temples and canals to the islands, mixing culture, food and beach time with a set group and leader throughout.

The pace covers a lot of ground — city, jungle, coast and islands — so you get a proper spread of what Thailand offers without having to plan any of it yourself.

What you'll do

  • Explore Bangkok by boat and tuk tuk
  • Visit ancient temples
  • Take a Thai cooking class
  • Sleep in floating bungalows and jungle tree houses
  • Snorkel the waters around the Phi Phi Islands
  • Visit an elephant sanctuary and try a Muay Thai session
Good to know
  • Easy-paced but covers a lot of different settings, so you're moving between city, jungle and islands regularly
  • Accommodation is a step above basic — a fair bit of this trip's appeal is the upgraded stays
  • Group-based throughout, with a leader accompanying you the whole way
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want a stress-free, well-paced first Thailand trip with standout guides. Think twice if you're older than mid-20s or dislike mixed-age groups splitting at different tour endpoints.

  • Guides like Emma P and Paula genuinely elevate the trip—organised, kind, and create effortless group bonding.
  • 12–18 day tours perfectly balanced rest days with activities; no sense of being rushed or overloaded.
  • Website doesn't clearly flag that intro tours mix 9/12/18-day groups, so you lose people mid-trip and leave others behind.
  • Bring your own toiletries; shampoo and shower gel not provided at all accommodation.
