Delve Deep: Southern Thailand

Up to 10% off selected departures on this trip

Trip overview

TRIP VIBE = iconic sights and in-depth adventures with a local Trip Leader. There’s more to Southern Thailand than paradisical beaches, picturesque temples and droolworthy pad Thai. Wanna go beyond those bucket list attractions? We got you. Delve deeper into the ‘Land of Smiles’ – we’re talking heaps of culture, tonnes of hidden gems and endless *pinch me* moments. Ready for 12 days of action-packed tropical adventures, plus plenty of free time to do you? This is it.

Worth noting…

On day 3, you’ll be staying in an awesome eco treehouse. There’s no single supplement available, so you’ll be sharing a room with a few of your trip mates.

    Keen to kick off the adventure? Meet us in Bangkok: Thailand’s temple-stuffed, neon-lit, food-loving capital. First things first, say hello to your fellow adventurers over an included dinner at a local restaurant. Cue = stuffing your face with allll the spring rolls and spicy curry. Afterwards, you’ve got options. Continue your convos at one of the city’s swanky rooftop bars. Get your souvenir shopping sorted early at a night market. Or have a chilled evening back at the hotel. Your trip = your vibe.

    Our tour guide, Paty, was the most amazing guide we could've had. She taught us so much about the culture and ensured we had the best time. Overall, the experience was great, as the tour included different activities, and there was no boring day. The only thing I didn't like was the first hotel we stayed in. No hot water, and no curtain in the bathroom, the included breakfast was not good at all...

  • Laura Ko October 2024

    Overall the tour was great we were just missing some vital pieces of information that would’ve helped the trip go smoother. Like how much cash we would need as most places wouldn’t have card. Or how most of our hotels didn’t have any hot water. It’s the little things that really make a difference. Other than those things the trip route was great and our tour guide was absolutely fantastic!

    The tour was great and our tour leader Peak was also great always making sure the group was going well and taking us to great local markets and restaurants.
    All the hotels we stayed at were nice having said that maybe would have been nice to stay at some hostels along the way that had a bit more atmosphere.
    Going to Khao Sok and Koh Phangan were definitely my highlights.
    Overall great 2 trips...
