Itinerary
The heat and hustle of Thailand's capital will hit you the moment you land, with 8 glorious days of coastal exploration stretched out ahead of us. After checking into our hotel you're free to do some DIY exploring, treat your muscles to a soothing massage or just lie ...
Shortly after breakfast we'll be taking our included flight to the beautiful Khao Sok.Welcome to Khao Sok! After arriving in Surat Thani, we'll head to Cheow Larn lake for a day trip. We'll cruise the oldest lake in Southern Thailand, kayaking, swimming & soaking up the sun. From there we'll make our way into the Khao Sok jungle where our riverside accommodation awaits.
Today, you have a full free day to enjoy the lush surroundings. You're free to spend your afternoon swimming and tubing in the river, grabbing a paddle for a river canoe ride, or getting a selfie in front of the limestone cliffs with a fresh juice in hand.
The beach is calling and we know you're ready! We're jumping in a van and taking a ferry to the palm-fringed island of Koh Lanta this morning.Ultimate tropical vibes await us on the charming island of Koh Lanta. Slipping contently into island life, we'll have time to snorkel, swim & bathe in the sun while sipping fresh coconut juice.
Stay on island time with a free day to do whatever makes you happy. If lying in a hammock gets old, you can sign up for a snorkelling cruise exploring the rich marine life in crystal clear waters surrounding the Koh Lanta coast.
It's back on the boat this morning, we're heading to Phuket where we continue to our last stop on your ultimate Thai trip.With a free day in Phuket, you could treat yourself to a traditional Thai massage this afternoon or relax before hitting Bangla Road in the evening, where the bright lights kick things up a level.
Now that we're done bouncing through Bangla Road, you're free to hit the beach again, or brush up on those bartering skills and squeeze in some shopping while marvelling at the Chinese architecture in Phuket Town.
Our trip will wrap up shortly after our last team breakfast. Time to say fond farewells to your new BFFs and leave with a new place in your heart for the Land of Smiles.

Tour Operator
We’re firm believers that life’s greatest experiences are made better by the people you share them with. That’s why Contiki invented group travel for young people in 1962 and we’ve spent the past 53 years perfecting it. You’ll explore amazing destinations with a group of 18-35 year olds from around the world who share your passion for adventure, good times and creating memories that define what it is to be young, wild and free.
No two travellers are the same and we know that, which is why we offer eight unique ways to explore the world. We have a number of options to choose from to create a vacation that’s perfect for you, from budget to accommodation style.
We're all about exploring the world with like-minded people, which is why we only run trips for 18-35 year olds, to celebrate being young, spirited and curious. You can expect to join a group of 18-53 awesome people from around the world on our Europe, Australia, North America and New Zealand trips, and in Asia and Latin America it's all about small group adventures with up to 25 travellers. Don't worry if you're not traveling as a couple or with a friend from home – though there are plenty of pairs, 50% of our travellers set off solo, meaning you'll have a ton of opportunities to make new friends.
With over 270 trips around the world and plenty of departure dates to work into your schedule, you'll never be short of options on where to go for your next great adventure.
About the company:
Contiki are the world leaders in social youth travel. We’ve been providing amazing travel experiences for young travellers, from 18-35 years old, since 1962. Imagine how good you would be at something if you had been doing it for more than 60 years?
Everything about Contiki is deeply rooted in our core values ‘Make Every Moment Count’ and ‘We’re about people’. We don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk and live by our brand philosophy of ‘Travel.Together.’ which means to travel with one another, the destinations we visit, the cultures we enjoy and the environment, too.
