The Thailand Bucket List 18 Day Tour

Day 1 Arrival in Bangkok

You will be met on arrival in Bangkok by your group leader and taken to our

guesthouse near the famous Khao San Road where you will spend the first two

nights. There you will meet the rest of the group and have a free day to chill out

or explore. It's all about getting to know everyone settling in and taking in the

craziness that is Bangkok. In the evening we will arrange to meet for dinner so

you can get to know your group. It also means that you can arrive at any time

on day one. Afterwards you can go on for a few drinks on Khao San or recharge

the batteries ready for tomorrow's activities.

DAY 1-8

Day 2 Secrets of Ancient Bangkok

The best way to see Bangkok is from a boat on the Chao Phraya River. Hop on hop off public ferry this ain't. We comendeer a longtail boat and take you on a

whirlwind tour through the back canals and waterways of the old centre of Bangkok. This is the best way to see the city and certainly not a perspective that most

backpackers get.

You will be able to see some amazing sights before stopping to see two of the most important temples in Thailand.

You will get a Thai tour guide at one of the temples and learn a bit about Thai history and culture. You may also get to be blessed by the monks. And let's face it

on this trip you're going to need all the luck you can get.You will then get to ride a Tuk Tuk back though Bangkok to Khao San Road where we will have lunch

(Scorpion buckets optional).

In the evening your Group Leader can show you the best places to eat and drink in Bangkok if you want to experience some of the nightlife.

Day 3 Overnight Train & Massage

In the morning we will go to a local spa for a traditional Thai Massage. This is the perfect way to relax before the overnight train and an awesome experience for anyone who has not tried it before.

You have a free afternoon to explore Bangkok, do some shopping or have a beer

by the pool with your new buddies. We meet in the evening to catch the over-

night train where you can chill with the group, catch up on sleep or take in the

views of both Bangkok and the Thai countryside as we travel south to our next

destination.

Day 4 Khao Sok National Park

This is one of the most incredible places in Thailand. Often overlooked by backpackers and travellers to Thailand as most have never heard of it and certainly

wouldn’t know how to find it, even those who know about it generally miss it as it generally costs around £150-£200 just to get there and stay for one night! Not

with our connections! If you come with us it’s all included in the tour price, plus we even chuck in all your meals whilst we are there!... We stay in unique and

very cool floating bamboo raft houses and spend the day chilling on the lake, tubing, rafting cliff jumping, swimming and generally enjoying an unbelievable desti-

nation which has barely been touched by tourism.

Day 5 To Koh Phanang & Bottle Beach

We leave Khao Sok by long tail boat then catch a ferry to the awesome island of

Koh Phangan! Our destination is Bottle Beach.

This secluded and magical stretch of sand Is legendary among backpackers. This is

where the whole backpacking scene started, amongst these islands and bottle

beach has always been one of the ultimate places to reach. Not but it's always

been easy it is very secluded and was only accessible by boat . That meant back-

packers would turn up here stay for days until their food supplies ran out (which

they had to bring in themselves). These days it is still quite remote but a little bit

more accessible and we will take you hear the the ultimate chilled afternoon.

Swap stories with people from all over the world and spend a very special eve-

ning here under the stars where we can have our own private beach party around

a camp fire. Tonight you will be staying in beach front bungalows and this will

probably be a night you will never forget.

Day 6 Elephant Trekking & Haad Rin Home Of The Full Moon Party.

Today you will have the morning to laze around on Bottle Beach or make use of the resort facilities if you choose.

Whether you want to play beach volleyball, kayak or chill by the pool, the choice is yours. In the afternoon we will get

a taxi boat over to the next town where you will get to go Elephant Trekking and play with the resident monkey before

going to check out the waterfall (seasonal). Late afternoon we head back to our resort in Haad Rin where you can

again relax before getting ready for dinner (on us!). We will take you to one of the best restaurants on the island and

then head down to the beach for some farewell fun and perhaps a bucket or two with your new friends to celebrate an

awesome week!

Day 7 Haad Rin: Elephant trekking & Luxury Guesthouse

Its an action packed day today: Exploring Phangan island by boat. Snorkelling

checking out viewpoints, beaches and waterfalls.

Free lunch & drinks on the boat then back to Haad Rin for farewell dinner (on us)

and party on the beach.

We arrive in the early evening and have some free time before heading out for a

bite to eat and to check out the world famous Haad Rinn Beach, home of the Full

Moon Party! If you would rather stay in and relax you can, the resort has all the

mod cons (aircon, cable tv, ensuite bathrooms, swimming pool, bar etc...)

Day 8 : This is where the Thailand Backpacker 8 days stops. More time? Read on.

DAY 8-12

Living it up on Koh Tao

The next four days will be spent on the beautiful Koh Tao Island enjoying a range of epic activities, with lots of down time in between the ad-ventures. During the four days, we’ll also take you over to Koh Nangyuan for some extra activities such as snorkelling, cliff jumping and trek-king. There’ll even be a beach BBQ and fun pub-crawl to keep you entertained if sports activities are not really your thing.

Staying on the gorgeous Sairee beach, you can relax into laid-back island life, choosing how you spend each day and what types of activities

you would like to do. If you want to experience the best adrenaline-pumping adventure, you can opt in to do some extra activities like scuba

Day 12-15: Heading West

You’ve come to the end of your stay on Koh Tao, but don’t worry; there

are lots more beautiful beaches and islands waiting to be explored in

Thailand. One of those beaches is Railay on the west coast of Thailand;

one of the most remarkably beautiful beaches on earth.

Although Railay is on the mainland, it is only accessible by boat so you’ll

still feel like you’re on a remote tropical island, surrounded by scenery

that looks like it’s been taken straight from a postcard.

Here you can relax, play, drink, eat and enjoy your surroundings, in bet-

ween more intensive activities such as snorkelling, sea kayaking and

rock climbing. Make sure to climb up to the lagoon viewpoint for some

of the most fantastic views in the country.

The nightlife in Railay is always buzzing, with fire shows a regular fixture

of the nightly entertainment around the many bars and restaurants.

DAY 12-18

Day 15-17: Island Bliss

We’re sure you’ve heard about your next location; the absolutely beautiful Maya Bay; so good it even stole the limelight from Leonardo DiCaprio in the film The Beach!

You’ll get to spend two glorious days on Phi Phi Island, taking a sunset boat trip around the other islands including Maya Bay, Monkey Island and the Viking Caves. Free lunch will be served on the boat before continuing on for more snorkelling and swimming back in the emerald waters of Phi Phi Island.

In the evenings, hang out with the group, enjoy some drinks and the nightlife, or do some amazing night swimming among the ‘glow in the dark’ plankton.

Day 17-18: Final Days in the Land of Smiles

In the morning, we take a trip to Thailand’s largest island; Phuket. Phuket is as you would ex-

pect of any of the Thai islands; beautiful and laid-back with lots of things to do. It’s the per-

fect place to spend your final night in Thailand before leaving the next day for home, or the

next part of your journey.

Party all night in Patong town, the party capital of Phuket, experiencing the nightlife through

amazing Party Tuk Tuks; the ultimate crazy way to end your epic 18-day trip through the most

beautiful country on earth!

On day 18, we’ll help you organize everything you need to make it back to Bangkok for home-

ward bound flights, or whether you’re continuing your journey through Thailand and Sout-

heast Asia.
