8 days of exotic lands and much hyped Thai beaches await us. The high-on-life vibes will be inevitable once we join forces in Phuket for the first of our stays. We’ll get acquainted and slip into island time. Stylish stays and a banging evening party will be on the agenda.
Day 2: Phuket
Location: Phuket
Accommodation Name: Novotel Phuket Resort (or similar)

Well good morning explorers, it's your first full day so time to get movin' and shakin'.

After a day of relaxing, its time for an evening of partying! Let’s hit the bright lights and wild antics of Bangla Road and really take things up a notch.
Day 3: Phuket To Koh Phi Phi
Location: Phi Phi Islands
Accommodation Name: Chaokoh Phi Phi Hotel And Resort (or similar)
Meals Included: Breakfast
It's day three and 'mai pen rai - don't worry, be happy' is now pretty much the group mentality. Enjoy a lazy breakfast and catch some rays before we hit the Andaman Sea in search of one very famous beach... Arriving in Koh Phi Phi will leave you in a daze of love and happiness. More scenic than your wildest dreams, this island is home for the next few days. Glorious long salty days, balmy nights and endless ocean explorations are calling. Dine on the herb-filled rice salad with grated coconut that is khao yam, watch the sunset from Koh Phi Phi's highest vantage point, or stroll postcard beaches alongside playful monkeys. Definitely an evening you won't be forgetting in a hurry.
Day 4: Koh Phi Phi
Location: Phi Phi Islands
Accommodation Name: Chaokoh Phi Phi Hotel And Resort (or similar)
Meals Included: Breakfast
The island is your playground and the day is yours to do whatever your heart desires. We're recommending our Day on the Bay Free Time Add-On - the perfect mix of island hopping, swimming and chillaxing. Afterwards, squeeze in one last beachside stroll with the flickering island lights as your backdrop, soaking up the island sounds and Pad Thai smells... this is what we call living.
Day 5: Koh Phi Phi To Krabi
Location: Krabi
Accommodation Name: Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort (or similar)

Although we're leaving Koh Phi Phi and heading to mainland Thailand today, our salty seadog spirit won't change a bit.

Friendly locals, massage haunts, local markets and seaside cocktails can perfect your day like kaffir lime to a mojito.
Day 6: Krabi
Location: Krabi
Accommodation Name: Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort (or similar)

Day 7: Krabi
Location: Krabi
Accommodation Name: Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort (or similar)
Meals Included: Breakfast
Rise and shine, we have a full free day to make the most of everything Krabi has to offer! Maybe you’ll chillax on Railay beach, or maybe you’ll get a sweat on during the optional rock climbing activity. Tonight, you're free to grab your crew for a sunset dinner and end the trip in style.
Day 8: Krabi To Phuket
Location: Phuket
Meals Included: Breakfast
After one final morning in paradise it's back on the coach to Phuket where you'll have the option to visit some gentle giants before letting our adventure come to an end.
