Overview

This is the Thailand trip you'd plan yourself if you had the patience: Bangkok first, then down the Andaman side, across the jungle, and up the Gulf islands, with the group and the transfers already arranged.

Bangkok gives you a welcome dinner, a night out, Wat Arun and Wat Pho by canal and a tuk-tuk home. Then it's a flight to Phuket and a night on Bangla Road, the ferry to Phi Phi for viewpoint sunsets and a full day island hopping through Pi Leh Lagoon, Monkey Bay and Bamboo Island, and on to Ao Nang for the Hong Island day with its new viewpoint.

The second week slows down and goes green: a floating bungalow on Khao Sok Lake with kayaks and a dawn lake safari, then Koh Samui for the Ang Thong Marine Park day and a free day, and finally the catamaran to Koh Tao for a snorkelling tour around Nang Yuan's sandbar and a last free day before it all ends on day fifteen.
