Island Tribe

Once you land in Bangkok, your awesome Travel Tribe tour guide will be waiting at the airport to pick you up and take you straight to meet your new Tribe! We’ll head out for a welcome dinner on us, before kicking off the tour with a fun night out in Khao San Road!

We start the morning in the best way possible – with a cycling tour around Bangkok! We’ll show you the cool backstreets and communities, including Santa Cruz (visiting the descendants of the first Portuguese traders, who’ve been making the Portuguese cupcake for over 5 generations), and some of the city’s most iconic Buddhist temples, including Bangkok’s biggest sitting Buddha statue. We’ll head to Khlong Bang Luang and the Artist’s Village, cycling the laneways and scenic tree-lined canals before arriving at an ancient market, a former trading community whose old wealth can be seen in the elegant architecture and surrounding temples. Check out some cool artwork and vintage crafts before enjoying a delicious local lunch by the Bang Luang Canal – then, we’ll take you to experience a favourite pastime of the Thai’s for hundreds of years: a traditional Thai Puppet Show! After, we’ll stow the bikes and take a long tail boat through the historic canals and down the Chao Phraya River, passing the Grand Palace along the way.

Good things come in threes, right? So it’s only natural that on day 3 Travel Tribe would take you to one of the most beautiful islands in the world: Koh Tao! Get in and explore the town, get a traditional Thai massage, or hit the beach – the choice is yours! Join your Tribe for a beach side dinner later on—a tradition of ours as we welcome you to paradise!

This morning, we’re taking you out on an epic snorkelling trip around Koh Tao, including stops at some of the world’s official Top 10 beaches, including Freedom Beach, Shark Island/Shark Bay, Mango Bay and plenty more. Swim amongst colourful tropical fish and coral, check out some amazing viewpoints on the island, hang out with black-tip reef sharks in crystal-clear waters, and return back with your Tribe before we take you out on a super-fun bar crawl!

Today, we take a catamaran to the island of Koh Phangan, where the day is free and you can do whatever you want (beach vibes, afternoon cocktails, massages – the choice is yours!) before reconvening later in the evening for a group dinner and drinks.

Now, we know that sometimes you want to do things at your own pace: explore the little alleys, discover delicious food, or simply chill-out somewhere to make the day yours with your new-found friends! BUT, if you’re up for more of an adventure, Travel Tribe will arrange to take you on a day trip around Koh Phangan where you’ll tear through the jungle in a 4X4, heading east of the island and stopping off at beautiful viewpoints along the way, before mountain climbing for some epic scenery and vistas across the island. You’ll continue on where Travel Tribe will take you to a secret hidden beach where you can go snorkelling with all kinds of tropical fish, and if you’re animal lovers like us, then you’ll really enjoy visiting the local jungle farm, and feeding cute elephants at a dedicated elephant care sanctuary. The adventure doesn’t stop here, either: the Tribe will then head to Thaan Sadet for some amazing waterfalls and beaches (Instagram goes crazy here, trust us), plus a visit to Thong-Nai-Pan beach, where you’ll enjoy a traditional lunch. We’ll continue on with a visit to a fresh local market, where you can shop around for some one of a kind crafts and other trinkets, before heading back at 5pm where the atmosphere will be sky-high in anticipation of tomorrow….

This is what you came for, right? Well, on top of all the other kick-ass goodies Travel Tribe gives you! Today is the day you’ve all been waiting for: the world-famous Full Moon Party! We’ll kick off the night with some fun drinking games, get your geared-up in neon paint, and head to the party for a wild night unlike anything else in the world. The Tribe is a wild bunch and we’ll be partying until the sun comes up—and then partying some more!

Last night was a blast and you probably have a sore head, so today is a free day where you can soak up the sun on the beach, go for a swim, or continue the party (it’s not unheard of)! Go for a massage in the afternoon if you like, before you join your new friends for a farewell dinner (and naturally, another big night on the town)!

Thai Tribe has sadly come to an end, but not to worry – you’ve come a long way and done some crazy things, and the memories will last a lifetime! You can either join the Tribe and make the journey back to Bangkok, or make your way elsewhere—the choice is yours! Your friendly guide/new drinking buddy will assist you with any ongoing travel you’re curious about. Add everyone on social and meet again on another Travel Tribe adventure!
