Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival in Bangkok

Welcome to Thailand! Arrive in BKK and meet your guide and driver for a smooth transfer to your hotel. Spend the rest of the day at your leisure, exploring the bustling city or unwinding at the hotel.

Begin your day with breakfast before heading out to explore Bangkok’s iconic landmarks.

Explore the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew before gliding along the Chao Phraya River by boat. Enjoy a late hotel check-out before boarding the overnight sleeper train south.

Arrive at Surat Thani, transfer to Khao Sok, and enjoy canoeing/tubing (weather dependent) on arrival! Take some time to relax today and embrace jungle life.

Today we will cruise across Cheow Lan Lake in a longtail boat, before arriving in paradise for our floating bungalow experience surrounded by limestone cliffs.

In the morning we will get a chance to trek in the jungle and visit Coral Cave! Followed by the transfer to Donsak Pier for the ferry to Koh Tao, where we can spend the evening relaxing in paradise

Dive into adventure with a full-day snorkelling tour around Koh Tao and the postcard-perfect island of Koh Nang Yuan. Discover vibrant coral reefs, swim alongside tropical fish, and enjoy a beachside lunch before unwinding with some sun and sea views. Return to your cosy resort for a relaxed evening.

Wave goodbye to Koh Tao as you sail across sparkling waters to the island gem of Koh Samui. Settle into your hotel and enjoy a free evening to explore the lively streets, dine by the beach, or simply relax into island time.

Spend the morning discovering Koh Samui’s highlights — marvel at the iconic Big Buddha, soak in the beauty of Wat Plai Laem, and snap photos at the famous Hin Ta & Hin Yai rocks. In the afternoon we will learn Thai cooking secrets in an authentic Thai Cooking Class!

Your last full day is yours to design. Bask on golden beaches, indulge in a spa treatment, shop for keepsakes, or chase one more island sunset. A perfect chance to savour Samui at your own pace.

After a final tropical breakfast, a private transfer takes you to the airport for your onward flight. Depart with sandy feet, sun-kissed skin, and memories of Thailand that will stay with you long after you’ve left.

Frequently Asked Questions

A lot of our trips have an average age of 25-35. However, ANYONE with a sense of adventure is welcome (though must be 18+).

We primarily stay in twin rooms, sharing with other members of the trip, in  3-4 star hotels. While we strive to provide the best quality, clean, comfortable accommodation available in each location, please keep in mind that Craic On Travels is a budget-friendly adventure holiday provider.

If you’re looking for an ‘active’ holiday full of daily adventures and new experiences, then this trip is for you (there will be time allotted to relax also so don’t worry!). Our itineraries are designed to make the most of your time, offering unique experiences you might not consider on a typical trip, meaning there will be long travel days in certain parts. If you’re ready to explore, stay active, and step outside your comfort zone, then you’ll love traveling with us!

The trip will begin in Bangkok. We recommend booking return flights to Bangkok. You can return to Bangkok for your flight home with a cheap, short internal flight from Koh Samui.

Craic On Travels does not organise flights, it is the responsibility of the customer to organise their own flights. We do make a group chat 60 days before the trip so people can co-ordinate their travels together if they like!

Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some of our incredible guests have had to say:
