Today marks the start of your Thailand adventure. You’ll be flying from your chosen airport, with connecting flights along the way.

You will land in Thailand’s bustling capital, Bangkok. As you pass through immigration, collect your luggage, and head to the arrival hall. Your guide will be there with a TourCompass sign. From here, you’ll be driven to your hotel in central Bangkok, and along the way, you’ll quickly sense the grandeur and vibrant atmosphere of Bangkok.

Late in the afternoon, there will be a welcome meeting at the hotel where your guide will discuss Thailand and how to be respectful and mindful during your visit. The itinerary for your tour will also be reviewed, and there will be an opportunity to ask any questions you might have. Afterwards, enjoy a short walk around the hotel area where the guide will point out ATMs, pharmacies, and more.

After the meeting, take the chance to wander around Bangkok’s bustling streets and soak up the chaotic charm. You can look forward to unique culinary experiences ranging from small local food stalls to sophisticated fusion restaurants. We recommend a visit to the neon-lit Chinatown, Soi 38 in Sukhumvit, the street food stalls at Victory Monument, or the shopping district Asiatique The Riverfront, which also features shops and entertainment.

If you’re not ready to turn in for the night, pop into one of the city’s numerous sky bars, the perfect place to enjoy a cold drink whilst taking in the view over the illuminated metropolis.

Wake up to Bangkok, a city of contrasts where futuristic skyscrapers stand alongside historic temples, modern sky trains weave several metres above the ground, and traditional river taxis ferry passengers between attractions.

You have the day free until later in the afternoon, offering a chance to relax by the pool and soak up the sun, explore the city, or join one of our optional tours, which you can learn more about below.

Later in the afternoon, you’ll be picked up from the hotel and driven to the starting point of your excursion. Here, a tuk-tuk awaits, ready to whisk you through Bangkok’s lively streets to some of the city’s hidden culinary gems.

Along the way, you’ll glimpse some of Bangkok’s famous landmarks, beautifully illuminated at night. You’ll see the Democracy Monument, marking Thailand’s abolition of absolute monarchy and the introduction of constitutional monarchy. This sits along the busy Ratchadamnoen Avenue near the Grand Palace.

You’ll arrive at a popular Pad Thai restaurant, recognised with a Bib Gourmand award by the Michelin Guide for excellent yet affordable cuisine. Savour Thailand’s beloved national dish served on banana leaves, and gain insight into its preparation in the kitchen.

Back in the tuk-tuk, you’ll pass by the 27-metre Giant Swing, a historic and cultural landmark near the Wat Suthat Thepwararam temple.

The next destination is a local night market, giving you time to browse stalls that sell local delicacies like braised pork leg (khao kha mu), coconut pudding, and sticky rice with egg (bua loi khai waan).

Continue to Thailand’s largest flower market, Pak Klong Talat, which is only open in the evening. Stroll past the many flower stalls and have the chance to fold your own lotus flower, which is deeply significant, especially to Buddhists.

At the next stop, discover Thai wedding traditions with a visit to a patisserie that specialises in wedding cakes.

The evening concludes at a relaxed rooftop bar situated by the Chao Phraya River, boasting views of the illuminated Wat Arun temple. The view is unbeatable!

After a delightful evening, you’ll be driven back to the hotel.

Today, you will bid farewell to the mainland and embark on the first part of your island hopping adventure on the scenic island of Koh Kood.

Early in the morning, you’ll be picked up from your hotel and driven to Laem Sok pier, a journey of about 5 hours. Upon arrival, you will board the local ferry, which will take you on a one-hour journey to Koh Kood. Along the way, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the coastline and the many small islands that appear on the horizon. When you arrive at Koh Kood, you will be greeted by a traditional songthaew taxi, which will take you the final stretch to your hotel.

Koh Kood, also known as Ko Kut, is an idyllic island with powder-like sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush landscapes. It is less visited than the southern Thai islands, making it one of Thailand’s most unspoiled and scenic destinations. Koh Kood is renowned for its relaxed atmosphere and slow pace. Here, there are no nightclubs or bustling city life, but rather small beach bars where you can enjoy a cocktail as you watch the mesmerising sunset. The island is also perfect for kayaking, as well as hiking and cycling through its verdant landscapes.

Upon arrival at the hotel, you will check in, and the rest of the day is at your leisure – perfect for relaxing and soaking in the first impressions of this island paradise.

The days on Koh Kood are marked by peace and relaxation. There are no scheduled activities, so you set the pace and enjoy the island’s untouched beauty at your own rhythm.

Koh Kood epitomises an idyllic beach holiday with stunning sandy beaches where palm trees cast shadows on the soft sand, crystal-clear water, and gentle lapping waves. Beaches such as Ao Tapao, Bang Bao, and Klong Chao rank among the island’s best, inviting long, lazy days in the sun and refreshing dips in the calm sea.

If you wish to combine relaxation with adventure, you can visit the roaring Khlong Chao waterfall, where you can take a dip in a cool, natural pool at the waterfall’s base. Another unforgettable experience is a kayaking trip through the mangrove forest by Klong Yai Kee or Klong Chao river. Here, you can silently glide through lush landscapes, experiencing the island’s unique ecosystem and wildlife up close.

If you want to experience more of the island’s local charm, you can rent a bicycle and cycle through rubber plantations and small villages, gaining an authentic insight into daily life on Koh Kood. In the fishing villages, Ao Salad and Ao Yai, you can also savour freshly caught seafood.

As evening falls, it’s time to enjoy the spectacular sunset with a cocktail in hand before settling into one of the cosy beachside restaurants. Here, you can indulge in freshly caught fish, shellfish, and delicious Thai dishes – a perfect end to a day in paradise.

Today, it’s time to leave the tranquil paradise life of Koh Kood for the second and final part of your island hopping adventure.

After a relaxed morning at the hotel, a songthaew taxi will pick you up and drive you to the pier, where you’ll take a ferry to Koh Chang – a beautiful journey of approximately 1.5 hours. During the sailing, you can enjoy the fresh sea breeze while gazing across the stunning sea and lush, green-clad islets rising from the water. As you approach Koh Chang, the island’s impressive, mountainous landscape emerges on the horizon. The steep, forest-covered hills give the island a dramatic appearance, and you can spot some of the island’s beautiful beaches right from the ferry. Upon arrival, a driver will be ready to take you to your hotel.

Koh Chang, known as the ‘Elephant Island’ in Thai, is Thailand’s third-largest island. Although it’s not home to wild elephants, the island hosts rich wildlife, including macaques, monitor lizards, wild boar, deer, and snakes. The island is covered in lush rainforest, and its dramatic terrain creates a magnificent contrast with palm-fringed sandy beaches and tranquil bays. Beaches like Klong Prao Beach, White Sand Beach, and Lonely Beach are among the island’s finest, with White Sand Beach and Lonely Beach also offering a vibrant nightlife.

Upon arrival at the hotel, you will check in, after which the rest of the day is yours to enjoy. You can relax on the beach, swim in the sea, or explore the scenic surroundings as you set your mind to new experiences on this beautiful island.

On Koh Chang, you have the freedom to shape your own days in the tropical surroundings. There’s plenty of time to follow your desires and discover what the island has to offer.

The island is home to several wonderful beaches, including Klong Prao Beach, which is within walking distance from your hotel. If you’re curious about marine life, you can explore the nearby islands in Koh Rang National Marine Park, where you can swim among colourful fish and corals – and maybe even spot the famous clownfish, Nemo.

For land adventures, you can discover Koh Chang’s impressive rainforests, which host rich wildlife. The island has a wealth of hiking trails of varying difficulty, and one of the most popular experiences is a visit to the beautiful waterfalls Klong Plu and Than Mayom. Alternatively, you can embark on a kayaking trip through the peaceful mangrove forests.

Besides its scenic beauty, Koh Chang offers an authentic local culture. In the fishing villages of Bang Bao and Salak Phet, you can experience traditional island life, savour freshly caught seafood, and explore charming stilt houses over the water and the surrounding shops.

As the day comes to an end, it’s time to enjoy a spectacular sunset. Along the west coast, you’ll find beach bars and restaurants with a cosy atmosphere, where you can enjoy a drink or a meal as the sun slowly sets on the horizon. Especially from Kai Bae Viewpoint, you have a fantastic panoramic view of the coast and the surrounding islets in the golden sunset glow.
