It’s quiet, amazingly beautiful, only accessible by boat, and to make it better, we pretty much get the whole place to ourselves, staying in beach huts overlooking the ocean. Relax here for the rest of the afternoon, enjoy a bit of volleyball, sunbathing or swimming. In the evening we can enjoy dinner & some cocktails on the beach next to a campfire with our own private fire show. It doesn’t get much better than this!

It's in the perfect location for our night out when we come back to Bangkok too, you can have every bucket in sight and then stumble home in a minute or two... ideal!

Thailand Adventure - Khao Sok

Welcome to paradise! Sleeping in floating bungalows is everyone's DREAM, right!? Imagine waking up surrounded by calm waters that are crystal clear and an idyllic blue... well, that's what you get at the floating resort in Khao Sok National Park! Each of the 30 bungalows has its own veranda, perfect to lie on and watch the jungle night sky. There's also a bar area to get your beer fix and a chill space for the evenings.

Welcome to Bottle Beach and your own little beach hut overlooking the ocean. That's right, this accommodation is pretty special. Not only do you get to stay in a beach hut, but the beach is secluded and we pretty much get it allll to ourselves. So chill in your hammock and take in the sights, grab a cocktail and wait for the beach bonfire to start!

After our night on Bottle Beach, staring up at the stars as we sleep by a beach bonfire, we move onto our second Koh Phangan destination. What you wouldn't expect is that we move from one secluded beach to the next. Our hotel has its own private beach!! Unreal, right? So you can chill, sip on a cocktail and soak up all the good vibes either in the gorgeous pool, by the bar or on the secluded beach.

Say hello to Koh Phangan's little neighbour - Koh Tao! Our hotel is ideally located on Sairee Beach, which is now lined with cool little restaurants and beach bars and is right next to the town so whether you fancy spending the afternoon by the pool, exploring the town or chilling on the beach, you're sorted!

Whatever you want to do, this hotel has got you covered. It's only a couple of minutes walk to Phi Phi's gorgeous white sand Loh Dalum Beach and maybe 5 minutes to Ton Sai Beach and Laem Hin Beach. So rent a snorkel and get ready to get your tan on! If exploring is more your thing, then the walk to the famous Viewpoint is super close and there are lots of restaurants and shops nearby to mooch around.

Our last stop is Phuket. I'm not crying, you are! It's time for one last blowout with our new BBFs and what better place to do it than Patong Beach. We stay near this lively strip, so it's not too far to stumble back home after one too many buckets on our crazy and amazing last night together in Thailand! This hotel is a stylish and comfortable place to end our trip before you get back to your hostel backpacking lifestyle!

Day 1

Welcome to Thailand!

Host A Sister, welcome to Bangkok! A city with as much history as it has traffic, more sticky rice than you could ever imagine (iykyk) and some of the kindest people you will ever meet! The evening is the real start to the trip, and we have plenty of tricks up our sleeve. First, we will head out to the famous Khao San Road where you will get to know your group over some delicious food and possibly a few drinks.

Day 2

Bangkok Temples & River Cruise

Today, we’ll board a traditional boat to take a ride through Bangkok’s back canals and the main river, the Chao Phraya. Our boat driver will drop us straight at our first temple, Wat Arun, where we’ll climb some steps to get a view of the city. After this, we head to one of Bangkok's biggest and most prestigious temples, which also happens to be the first University in Thailand, Wat Pho. Tonight, whether chilled cocktails overlooking the city or buckets are more your style, there are options for everyone!

Day 3

Massage & Overnight Train

You’ve had the introductions, soaked up some culture, and experienced the nightlife. Now it’s time to head south to Khao Sok National Park. Before we board the train this afternoon, we have a nice surprise for you in the form of a traditional Thai massage. A great way to relax after a big few days and a great way to limber up for the overnight train ride down south.

Day 4

Khao Sok National Park

Picture low clouds floating over the limestone mountains which surround this epic emerald green lake. We are staying on an actual floating resort that looks like something from Jurassic Park. The afternoon is free for you to relax by the lake, float around with a beer, read a book, or explore the lake in kayaks. After sundown, we are treated to a delicious Thai buffet dinner in the floating restaurant and bar.

BOTTLE BEACH EXPERIENCE

One of our favourite beaches in the world is Bottle Beach. It’s a stunningly beautiful little beach that is only accessible by boat, so we pretty much get the place to ourselves and another room with a view! Here you can play volleyball, go for a swim or a kayak, hike to the epic viewpoint or frolic on the beach with one of the friendly resort dogs. In the evening we’ll have dinner on the beach (obviously) followed by some cocktails next to a beach campfire with our very own private fire show.

Day 6

Morning chill & Muay Thai Lesson

The sounds of the waves breaking on the beach will be the first thing you hear when you wake up! Sleep in, enjoy the beach, trek through the jungle or head up to that viewpoint, and generally make the most of your idyllic surroundings and recharge those batteries. In the afternoon, we’ll head to a local gym, where we get an intro lesson to the ancient art of Muay Thai (Thai Boxing), Thailand’s national sport.

Day 7

KOH PHANGAN Island boat trip

Today we’ll sail around the coast of the island, and stop off at one of the small islands off the coast of Phangan for some beach shenanigans and at a snorkelling spot to check out the sea life and cool down. We get back to land around sunset, just in time to refresh for dinner and drinks on our last night in Koh Phangan.

Day 8

KOH TAO BOUND

Wave goodbye to the magical island of Koh Phangan, and say hello to its pretty little neighbour Koh Tao. Until relatively recently Koh Tao was pretty much just coconut farms and fishing villages, so it is still fairly undeveloped and, like Koh Phangan, is bursting with nature. Many people visit Koh Tao for the diving, beautiful beaches and laid-back lifestyle. When we get to the island, we check into our hotel near Sairee Beach, which is now lined with cool little restaurants and beach bars (and plenty of dive schools, of course).

Koh Nang Yuan

Today, we get to see what all the fuss is about with the snorkelling in Koh Tao (It is what the island is famous for, after all), plus we get to visit a beautiful island called Koh Nang Yuan. If you would prefer to work on your tan on the boat rather than exploring the wonders of the ocean below the boat, that's fine too. In the evening, you are free to join the group for dinner at one of the island's best restaurants and a few beers (or cocktails, even waters if you prefer) at one of the many little bars lining Sairee Beach.

GET ACTIVE OR RELAX

It's our last day in this little paradise, and fortunately, we've got loads of options to keep us bussyyyy. We are off to Tanote Bay for anyone who wants to come spend the day at this little gem of a beach. If you would rather keep the adrenaline flowing, we can help you arrange one of Koh Tao’s extreme activities. Or you can stay in bed all day until we check out!

TRAVEL DAY TO PHI PHI ISLANDS

In the afternoon, after an amazing speedboat trip, we will arrive in Phi Phi. When we have arrived and checked in, you have some free time in the early evening before meeting up for a group dinner on this amazing island! The evenings are always fun when in Phi Phi, like Koh Tao, it has a blend of chilled, “islandy” vibes and party vibes!

MAYA BAY “THE BEACH”

After a chilled morning, we'll visit a stunningly beautiful spot called Maya Bay, which was made famous by the film, “The Beach” which was filmed here many moons ago. On top of that, we’ll do some more snorkelling, visit some other cool spots like the Viking Cave and Monkey Beach (yes there are actually monkeys there), as well as having lunch and watching the sun set from the boat.

Phuket

First up this morning is an amazing optional hike to a stunning viewpoint in Phi Phi! It's the ultimate way to end our couple of days here and the ultimate Thailand photo opportunity too! Then we are off to Phuket! We end our trip on this crazy island because you have to experience it once when you come to Thailand. There are lots of things to do, and the last afternoon is free to chill, explore and get ready for the last night out with the group.
