Ultimate Thailand is aimed towards travellers aged between 18 to 39 years old looking to experience the best of Bangkok and Southern Thailand in a guided tour.
Our local accommodation has been selected to offer a unique experience in Thailand. You’ll be staying in a combination of budget hotels, an overnight sleeper train, a floating bamboo raft house and a beachside hideaway.
Airport transfer is included in your trip! Just make sure you let us know your flight arrival date, time and flight number at least 14 days before your tour is due to start. Two weeks before your tour we will send you an email with detailed information about your arrival in Thailand, airport transfer, accommodation and where to meet your group.
The local currency in Thailand is Thai Baht (THB). The amount of money you should bring will depend upon the total length of your holiday and your spending habits. It’s very easy to get by in Thailand for $300 - $600 a week. This will cover your food, souvenirs and fun! However, try and budget for the higher end of this – it’s a once in a lifetime trip, so make the most of it! We recommend bringing a debit card / travel money card with you with so you can withdraw cash as you go. ATMs are available throughout Thailand. Alternatively, you can bring local currency to exchange when you arrive - your group leader can help you find somewhere, no problem. Try to only get out enough to cover you a few days at a time so you're not carrying around lots of cash.
We like to have a great mixture of some meals included and times for you to experience the local Thai cuisine! For a breakdown of what meals are included check out the trip notes!
Thailand is a great country to visit all year round! As the country is so vast different weather systems spread out across the region. So if you're visiting at a certain time of the year and the weather is due to be hot and dry in Bangkok, you may experience a little rain in the southern islands. Not to worry though, if rain does occur it usually does not last very long and can be a relief from the heat!
All good things must come to end! Your tour will finish in the beautiful island of Koh Phangan. We can help you get back to Bangkok or plan your onward travels around SE Asia. There are a number of ways to get back to Bangkok and you can even add onward travel options to your booking if you’d like. Have a look below at some of the options available to you: 1 - The most common way to get back is to get a ferry/bus to Surat Thani, and then a flight from Surat Thani to Bangkok. The transport to Surat Thani can be organised by us via a ferry / bus. The flight would need to be pre booked to Bangkok and should be booked for after 2pm on the day of travel. 2 - The quickest way is to get a ferry to Koh Samui and a flight from Koh Samui to Bangkok. The ferry again can be booked with us, but the flight will need to be pre booked. This flight can be booked anytime after 10AM on the day of travel. This can usually be the most expensive option. 3 - Get the ferry / bus all the way back to Bangkok. This is can sometimes be the cheapest option but involves a 15hr journey during the day. So you wouldn't be able to fly out of Bangkok until the day after you start travelling. When arranging your onward flights (either home or to more adventures!), we recommend departing the day after your tour finishes to make sure you have enough time to travel to the airport you are departing from. See ‘How do I get back to Bangkok after my tour’ for more details.
Booking is easy! Select your chosen departure Thailand Group tour date, enter your details and we’ll send you a booking confirmation as well as useful information about your tour.
