TRIP ITINERARY: 8-Day Thailand Experience
Discover the best parts of Thailand on our eight day Thailand Experience tour. This group adventure is the ideal way to make the most of your first week in Thailand. All the worries you may have at the beginning of your travels will be taken care of by us. You’ll be greeted at the airport by one of our awesome western group leaders who will introduce you to the rest of the group, and be with you all week to ensure you have an amazing and trouble free trip! We take care of all accommodation, transport and activities so you can just relax and enjoy the experience of a lifetime!
DAY 1
THAI-LAND!
When you land, we pick you up at the airport, and take you directly to your hotel. You have a free day to get to know your group and get settled. In the evening we go out on the infamous Khao San Road for drinks.
DAY 2
CRUISE BANGKOK
See the capital by the water as we travel by longtail boat along the Chao Phraya River, you’ll explore Bangkok and experience some of Thailand’s heritage. We visit two prestigious temples – Wat Arun and Wat Pho, to see the very impressive giant, gold reclining Buddha statue. The rest of the day is free for exploring, you may want to try some of the famous shopping in Bangkok as its known for being notoriously cheap. Then in the evening we meet again for dinner, drinks and more group bonding.
DAY 3
MIDNIGHT SPECIAL
Try a traditional Thai massage before we travel overnight on the train down south, and swap the hustle and bustle of Bangkok for the tranquil lakes of Khao Sok National Park – situated in the Surat Thani province of Thailand.
DAY 4
KHAO SOK FLOATING BUNGLOWS
Head to our floating bungalows on a longtail boat whilst stopping along the way for a quick dip and dive. Try your hand at some kayaking or chill with a beer in a tube in front of the stunning backdrop of this limestone mountain range. We’ll be staying in floating bungalows on a fresh-water lake surrounded by rainforest which looks like something out of Jurassic Park!
DAY 5
ARRIVE IN KOH PHANGAN, BOTTLE BEACH
Wake up early on the lake and enjoy a spot of breakfast before we head to Koh Phangan. When we arrive we go straight to a secluded paradise beach, Bottle Beach. Our favourite beach in the world. It is quiet, amazingly beautiful, only accessible by boat and to make it better, we pretty much get the whole place to ourselves and stay 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 and some cocktails on the beach next to a camp fire with our own private fire show.
DAY 6
MUAY THAI LESSON
A nice chilled wake up to the sound of waves rolling on the beach. You will have a free morning to make the most of your surroundings. You can go kayaking, play volleyball, top up the tan, go trekking to view points or catch up on some sleep. We are picked up early afternoon and taken to a local gym to try your hand at a bit of Muay Thai boxing, Thailand’s national sport. After we head to our awesome accommodation at Echo Beach backpackers where we will spend the final two nights. We will arrange a time to meet for dinner and jump in a taxi to Haad Rinn where you will discover more beach bars for those who fancy a few drinks.
DAY 7
ISLAND BOAT TRIP
Today we embark on a voyage around Koh Phangan. We spend the day taking in the amazing tropical island scenery, stop for some snorkelling at the coolest hotspots and visit Than Sadet waterfall (seasonal). You might think it couldn’t get any better but it does, we have free drinks and food throughout the day with music. The last night we take you to the best restaurant in town for a slap up meal on us. Its here where we prepare to say our goodbyes to our newest friends as our adventure draws to a close so we hit the beach bars for one last boogie to cap a great week.
DAY 8
CHILLED CHECKOUT
Check out is at 11am and our awesome staff are on hand to help you plan your next footsteps, whether it is continuing your adventure or heading back to Bangkok to catch a flight, we will make sure you get to where you need to be.

TruTravels
We love to travel for all the same reasons as everyone else and one of the best parts of our job is when people tell us at the end of a trip that we have given them some of the best weeks of their lives. This really is one of the best feelings in the world and indeed why we got into the business in the first place. To give people the time of their lives has been our number one goal and indeed part of our mission statement since day one.We firmly believe that travel can not only change peoples lives for the better, but it also has the potential to change the world. Countless times we have seen people change for the better in many ways after a travel adventure, be it: opening their eyes and minds to new cultures and ways of thinking, curing previously incurable shyness, developing new social skills, discovering hidden talents, picking up new hobbies or even seeing the world in a more positive and happy light. Travel is without doubt, the university of life. But it’s not just the travellers who’s lives have the potential to be changed; the local people, the communities we travel within, the environment and the world at large can also benefit from the travel industry if the people and companies involved do it right.

Refund Policy
- In order to book this experience, you will need to pay a refundable deposit.
- The deposit remains in a ‘pending state’ – i.e. will not be taken out of your bank account until you hear from the organiser and have confirmed that there is availability and that they can meet all of your requirements.
- If you are unable to agree on a date or the organiser cannot meet your requirements, your deposit is automatically returned to you in full.
- Once you have agreed on a date and you are happy to go ahead with the trip/retreat/course as planned, your deposit will be accepted.
- At this point, your deposit is still refundable, however, there will be a small cancellation fee applied (which is what Paypal charge us to accept your payment in the first place) which is around 5% of the total amount that you paid to us.
- The rest of the payment for the experience is payable to the organiser, either upon arrival at the destination or before in some cases, if the organiser requires it. The organiser will arrange this with you.
- The refund of the second payment, which goes directly to the trip organiser, is based on their own Terms and Conditions, and we have no control over this.
