Thai Intro — 18 Day

From the moment you land in Bangkok, this 18-day Thailand trip is all about jumping straight into the good stuff with a group leader to guide the way and a crew of like-minded travellers beside you. You’ll weave through the capital by boat and tuk tuk, wander through ancient temples, and settle in with your first taste of Thai street life before heading off to the country’s wild side.

As the journey unfolds, you’ll cook local dishes, learn Muay Thai, unwind with a traditional massage, and sleep in floating bungalows surrounded by rainforest. Then it’s on to tropical islands, the famous Full Moon beach scene, the limestone seascapes of Phi Phi, and the jungles around Chiang Mai, where you’ll visit hill tribes and spend a day at an elephant sanctuary. It’s the kind of trip that keeps changing pace in the best possible way — and by the end, you’ll have seen Thailand from top to tail, with plenty of stories to bring home.

Know before you go: - Your group leader will meet you when you arrive, so be sure to keep your arrival details handy and follow the pre-departure instructions. - Pack light, breathable clothing for hot and humid weather, plus respectful attire for temple visits that covers shoulders and knees. - Bring comfortable walking shoes, swimwear, a reusable water bottle and a small day bag for boat trips and excursions. - You may want cash on hand for snacks, drinks, tips and personal shopping along the way. - This trip is 100% carbon neutral, so you can travel with a lighter footprint while still seeing the best of Thailand.
