Best of Thailand

You will meet your Bucket List Leaders at the airport and fly out as a group for Bucket Lister + Trips. If you have booked a Bucket Lister Trip we will see you in Thailand soon!

On arrival in Bangkok you will be transferred to your hotel located close to the hustle and bustle of the Khao San Road – one of Bangkok’s liveliest areas and the perfect place to kick-off your adventure.

Following orientation by your local expert guide, you will begin a fun and fascinating Electric Scooter tour of the city, taking in many of the incredible locations that make Bangkok one of the most visited cities on the planet!

The tour will include a stop for a traditional street food lunch; a perfect way to watch daily life go by and see how the locals do it.

After breakfast, we transfer to the airport for our flight north to Chiang Mai.

On arrival in Chiang Mai, you’ll be transported straight into the jungle where you’ll be spending your afternoon meeting & getting to know the story behind the national animal of Thailand: the elephant!

Wake up to a hot coffee and relax to the jungle sounds that surround you; this morning you’ll be helping out around the sanctuary experiencing some amazing insights into the daily lives of the resident elephants and the team of volunteers that live by their side.

After a delicious local lunch, it’s time to get your walking boots on, as your Two Day, One Night Jungle Trek begins here.

This afternoon’s trek is roughly 4.5 hours. Although mainly on level ground, you’ll be up and down the countless hills that wind their way through the valleys.

Today’s full-day trek will take roughly 6 hours, spread throughout the day. You’ll visit a local hill-tribe community and learn about their deeply invested cultures and traditions.

Your expert guides will ensure that you see and experience all of the incredible flora, fauna and wildlife that is in abundance. The trek is not overly strenuous and you certainly don’t need to be an Olympic athlete to make the most of this beautiful part of the world.

As we depart the hill tribe we have a short morning of trekking as we make our way to the waiting vehicles to transfer us to our lunch spot.

After lunch, we’ll have the opportunity to try another traditional mode of transport as we take a gentle float down the local river aboard a handmade bamboo raft.

We then return to Chiang Mai. Make the most of a free evening; check out the famous selection of night markets and bazaars, or catch up on sleep, the choice is yours.

Today we’re heading to yet another beautiful jungle location – the oldest evergreen rainforest on the planet. Khao Sok National Park surrounds the man-made Cheow Lan Lake and is a sight to behold.

You’ll be flying south to the town of Surat Thani from where it’s a 60-minute transfer to the park and to the excellent Khao Sok Discovery Resort where you can check in and freshen up.

This evening you’ll be taking an equally fascinating and spooky night safari! As the sun goes down the jungle really comes alive.

Following breakfast and check-out you’ll be chauffeured further south and across the Sarasin Bridge, onto the island of Phuket and to the wonderful La Vintage resort located in the bustling beach town of Patong.

The rest of the day is yours to relax at one of the two swimming pools, head to the beach for some fun in the sun, or check out the numerous bars, restaurants or markets on offer.

To really understand the mix of cultures here in Phuket, you need to get underneath the skin and past the tourism. So today you’ll be taking a guided tour that we lovingly call the FAT tour! This stands for Food, Art, Town as these are what you’ll be experiencing today on this eclectic island. 

From the largest island in Thailand, today you head further south to the more traditional island of Koh Lanta; a mecca for sun worshippers and water lovers alike.

Using a selection of different transport today, you’ll make the journey from Phuket, to the beautiful island of Koh Lanta.
Enjoy a free afternoon.

You have three days here on Koh Lanta Island.

You might want to sign up for a 3-day open water dive qualification course or, if you are already qualified, join a few fun dives within the Koh Lanta National Park area.

If diving’s not your thing, Lanta Island has many other activities to keep you busy.

It’s a free morning for you to finish off your island stay. Top up your tan, hit the beach, or join that last-minute adventure you’ve discovered.

Following check-out you’ll depart the island for the quick boat crossing to the mainland where your drivers will be waiting to drive you north to Krabi International Airport, where you’ll catch an evening flight back to Bangkok

Once landed you’ll be transferred to your hotel for your final night in Bangkok, perfectly located to allow easy access to shopping restaurants and bars.

Sadly, today is the end of the adventure. Depending on your departure flight you may have time for some final sight-seeing or shopping before you say goodbye to the Land of Smiles.
