Plans for Thailand


While researching Thailand, I found an amazing tour group for those who are between the ages of 18 and 29 years old. I used the link above to gather all of the information that is below. In my experience, tour groups give a more in depth trip and provide opportunities that planning a trip on your own would not. Below I included top highlights, what is included in the trip, accommodations, flights, and the itinerary.


Top Highlights

  • Get your fill of Thai street food as you wander through famous night markets

  • Dance the nights away on the beaches of Phuket

  • Lounge in the sun on white sand beaches and snorkel in crystal-clear waters

Itinerary

Day 1: Fly to Bangkok

  • Board your overnight flight, bound for Thailand

Day 2: Arrive in Bangkok

  • Welcome to the other City of Angels—Bangkok

  • Home to ancient temples, nonstop nightlife, and stunning architecture

  • Thailand’s capital city has it all, including a dinosaur theme park in the middle of the city

  • While you’re coming in at night, you’ll have plenty of time throughout your trip to treat yourself to a Thai massage, and as much street food and Thai iced tea as humanly possible

Day 3: Tour Bangkok

  • Bangkok is one of the world’s top travel destinations, and you’ll soon understand why

  • Explore the city with your Tour Director the way it was meant to be seen: by river

  • This city isn’t called the “Venice of the East” for nothing

  • Today, you’ll visit some of the most important Buddhist temples in Thailand, including the Grand Palace

Day 4: Explore the Damnoen Saduak Floating Markets

  • Travel outside of Bangkok to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Markets

  • It’s like a mall, but everything is floating and must be accessed by longboats

  • You can find locally-crafted goods and fresh fruit

Day 5: Fly to Chiang Mai + Visi Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Temple

  • You’re headed to Chiang Mai for three days of…everything.

  • First up: Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. This temple is the most holy and opulent Buddhist site in Thailand

  • One of the top experiences in Thailand.

Day 6: Visit an Elephant Sanctuary + Wat Suan Dok Temple + Optional Home Hosted Dinner

  • Elephants are the grandpas of the animal kingdom, with their adorableness and little hairs atop their head, and you get to spend the morning with them

  • Hang with them in their natural habit before heading to the Wat Suan Dok temple and monastery

  • While you’re there, talk to a Buddhist monk—about your time with the gentle giants, the meaning of life, or anything else

  • In the evening enjoy dinner on your own or participate in an optional Lanna dinner

Day 7: Fly to Phuket + Free Time

  • You’re headed to Phuket, where there's an abundance of white sand beaches and palm trees

  • Phang Nga Bay, this bay is home to the James Bond Island, named because it’s where Man with the Golden Gun was filmed

  • This teetering limestone island is one very iconic rock in one insanely beautiful place

Free Time Suggestions

  • Bangla Road Nightlife

    • When the sun goes down, and the roads close to vehicle traffic, Bangla Road is the place to be

    • Loud music

    • Cheap beer

    • Neon lights

    • It’s like an outdoor club, except the drinks are ridiculously cheap

Day 8: Free Day in Phuket + Nga Hong Phang National Park

  • There’s more to Phuket than incredible beaches and views for days

  • This place is steeped in ancient history, rich culture, and endless nature

Extra Cost

  • Hong by Starlight

    • Cruise through 42 islands in the Phang Nga Bay in Nga Hong Phang National Park

    • Marvel at the limestone cliffs and turquoise water, kayak through secret tidal caves, and see some of Thailand’s hidden wonders

Day 9: Enjoy a Free Day in Phuket

  • Another day in paradise

  • Another day to do what you want. What’s that you say? You want to sit on the beach with a drink in hand and laugh at all your friends and family back home who are busy working, or going to school, or getting into an argument over the season finale of some show? Trust your gut. Laugh away. And then, sunscreen up!

Free Time Suggestions:

  • Triple Threat

    • Walk to Kho Sam Head, AKA “Hill of the Three Beaches,” for stunning views of three picturesque bays

Day 10: Travel to Bangkok + Farewell Dinner

  • We’re taking you back to the beginning, where this whole adventure began: Bangkok. Sort of poetic, isn’t it?

Farewell Dinner

  • Share some last laughs (and maybe shed a few tears) at an included farewell dinner with the group

Day 11: Fly Home

  • Goodbye friends, your next destination awaits—home. Before you head to the airport, enjoy your last few moments together. Take one more group photo. Grab that final drink. But this isn’t goodbye. It’s “See you later.” The only question is, where?

  • OR extend your trip! During checkout, you'll have the option to fly to (or from) the gateway of your choice for an additional fee. We'll adjust your flights accordingly, but you'll be responsible to take care of your transportation, hotels, and other logistics outside of tour


EXTENDED TRIP

  • I am hoping to extend my trip a few days extra to go and see the Taj Mahal

  • This extension is going to add another $200 for the tour I plan on going with which does not include my flight (approximately another $100)
