Pack your backpack and let's discover the magic of the Thai islands together! 🎒🏝️ In 10 days we will explore my absolute favorite islands in the Gulf of Thailand, dive/snorkel with turtles 🐢🤿 and turn night into day on the hippest island. You also have the unique option ✳️ to extend the trip by 3 nights (1 night Bangkok, 2 nights Koh Lanta) individually! Our itinerary: Route: Bangkok 🛕 -> Koh Tao 🤿 -> Koh Phangan 🏝️ -> Krabi 🍜 -> (Koh Lanta 🌅 -> Krabi) ✈️ ⬇️⬇️⬇️ More information ⬇️⬇️⬇️ _____________________________________________ 🔢 TRAVEL GROUP: 1️⃣ Timo 🙋🏼‍♂️ 🇩🇪 - Tripleader 2️⃣ Katrin 🙋‍♀️ 🇩🇪 - Tripmate 3️⃣ ??? 4️⃣ ??? ℹ️ OVERVIEW: Day 1: Arrival in Bangkok 🏙️ We meet up in Bangkok during the day, get to know each other and discuss the next few days. There is still plenty of time until the evening for some last-minute shopping or a short sightseeing tour of Bangkok. In the evening, we will take the night train south, where our adventure in Thailand's south will begin the next morning. ✳️ Upgrade 1: You have the option of arriving in Bangkok on March 7, giving you one more night in Bangkok and allowing us to explore more of the city. Day 2-5: Koh Tao 🏝️🤿 The island of Koh Tao is much smaller than the other islands in the Gulf of Thailand and is perfect for a relaxed start to our island hopping. Koh Tao is best known for its underwater world. 🐠 We will therefore go on a full-day snorkeling trip to see as much of the underwater world as possible. If you really want to dive, Koh Tao is also the perfect place to get your diving license! The range of diving schools is very large, the prices are therefore low and the underwater world offers first-class conditions for your first diving experience! (Costs: approx. 250-280€, 3 days, 6 dives, ❌ not included). Day 5-8: Koh Phangan - dream beaches & action 🏝️ After 3 nights on Koh Tao, we continue to the neighboring island of Koh Phangan. The island used to be an insider tip many years ago, when backpackers and hippies from all over the world celebrated a big party once a month on the beach of Haad Rin. Nowadays, the Full Moon Party attracts thousands of visitors every month to drink cocktails from beach buckets in colorful neon shirts and dance in the sand to electronic music. Unfortunately, we will miss the Full Moon Party, but the island has much more to offer than just this one night of partying. We will explore the island on our own on a rented scooter and relax on secluded beaches under coconut palms. 🌿 Day 8-10: Krabi, Ao Nang and the surrounding area 🏝️ From Koh Phangan, continue by ferry and bus to the provincial town of Krabi. In addition to great night markets, mangrove forests and spiritual temples, the neighboring town of Ao Nang has shaped the image of Thailand like no other stretch of beach. We hire a scooter on day 2 and take a close-up look at the typical postcard karst rock dream beach panorama. ✳️ Upgrade 2: Day 10-12: Koh Lanta 🌅 If you want to see even more islands, you have the option of extending your trip by 2 nights on Koh Lanta (incl. transportation + scooter). The island has a very relaxed flair and offers views of Thailand's most beautiful sunsets from one of the many laid-back beach bars. We can either plan relaxed beach days here or take a scooter across the elongated island in one day and visit old fishing villages, enjoy the view from great viewpoints, visit an elephant camp (❌ not included) or discover almost deserted beaches. 🏖️ Day 10/12: Conclusion of the trip ⛴️✈️ Unfortunately, the next morning marks the end of this part of our trip together and I'm heading back from Krabi to Bangkok ✈️. You are now spoiled for choice and can also take a cheap flight back to Bangkok from Krabi (KBV) (❌ not included) or add a few more beach days on Koh Lanta, Koh Phi Phi or Phuket. There are also a relatively large number of international connections from Phuket (HKT) to Europe and the UAE, so you wouldn't have to fly back to Bangkok if you have an open jaw flight. 🛫 _____________________________________________ What can you expect on this trip? ➕ 100% backpacking feeling 🎒 ➕ Explore three of Thailand's most beautiful islands 🏖️ ➕ Spontaneously get your diving license and dive with the turtles of Koh Tao 🐢🐟 ➕ Try your hand at kitesurfing on Koh Phangan! ➕ A cool international travel group that's up for islands, partying and traveling 🤗 ➕ Enough time in between to explore the islands on your own or chill out in a hammock 🌿420🌿 ➕ Customize your trip: ✳️ Upgrade your trip to 13 days -> for more time in Bangkok (+45€) and Koh Lanta (+90€).

There is still a lot going on at this time, but we can avoid the really big crowds. The weather is perfect, maybe a little too warm at times, but there are only a few rainy days a month (and when there are, it's just a shower). Temperatures are around 30° during the day on the coast, and it usually cools down to 23-26° at night. _____________________________________________

🙋🏼‍♂️ ABOUT YOUR TRIPLEADER: I've been exploring the world for 10 years now and have lost my heart to Thai culture. In 2024, I moved from Germany to Bangkok with my girlfriend Hannah. From here, I regularly travel to new and old regions in Southeast Asia. Since Hannah can only travel with me during the vacations, I look forward to meeting cool tripmates from all over the world so that I don't have to discover the most amazing places in Asia alone. I know from my own experience how big a hurdle it can be to set off alone to a foreign country. To make this step easier, I share my own backpacking and individual trips on JoinMyTrip. I want to inspire others to discover new countries and cultures, to feel the joy of traveling and to reduce the fear of the unknown. _____________________________________________ ❓ HOW DO I TRAVEL? I am a frugalist and a fan of the simple life with the best possible independence. I live a vegetarian lifestyle and prefer a cheap and sustainable backpacking travel style. That means: - (hand luggage) backpack 🎒 instead of suitcase 🧳🚫 - Rarely longer than 3 nights in one place - the journey is the destination! 📍📍📍 - Simple, clean rooms in local guesthouses 🏡 or sociable hostels 🏠 instead of international hotel chains. - Good and cheap local food on the roadside 🍲 - Beer 🍺 and cocktails 🍹 at happy hour instead of fancy drinks at the rooftop bar 🍸 - Travel like the locals, slower but 100% authentic 🚂 - Sightseeing on your own 🛵 instead of organized tourist groups with a guide 🚐 _____________________________________________ MY EXPECTATIONS: My ideal tripmates share part of my passion for simple and authentic backpacking in Southeast Asia by the end of our trip at the latest. On our Thailand island trip, we discover very different areas: from lively, sometimes very touristy places to idyllic, quiet little beaches where you would like to stay for weeks. IMPORTANT❗We are going on a BACKPACKING trip. 😉 On this trip, we are traveling with many different means of transport and suitcases are sometimes really impractical. I therefore prefer tripmates who swap their suitcase for a backpack. 🧳🚫 _____________________________________________

ℹ️ ACCOMODATION: On our trip, we will stay in simple but clean and well-kept hostels 🏠 or in family-run homestays and bungalow resorts 🏡. The accommodation is basic but in a good location, there may even be a pool, but don't expect 4* all-inclusive hotel facilities ;) As a rule, 2 people always stay in one room (separate beds, of course), usually with their own bathroom, sometimes with a shared bathroom if necessary (depending on the size of the group). The accommodation in the cities (Bangkok, Krabi) will have air conditioning. Bungalows on the islands (usually close to the beach) often manage with a fan, as it cools down quickly at night. It is almost always possible to upgrade to a private room or a better room with air conditioning. The costs must then be paid locally (€15-30 extra per night, not included ❌). _____________________________________________ ℹ️ Travel safely as a woman ♀ and LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈: I know that it can be a big decision to start an adventure with unknown travel partners from different cultural backgrounds. To help you feel safe and respected right from the start, I offer you these options: 1) Separate rooms 🚪 If no other woman is traveling with you, you can request a single room or a bed in a same-sex dormitory - at no extra charge. So you always have a private retreat and a personal safe space. 2) Female contact person 🙋🏻‍♀️ On all trips starting in Bangkok, you can meet my partner Hannah at the first dinner together. If you prefer to talk to a woman on the road, you can contact Hannah or my co-tripleader Lama (JoinMyTrip) for confidential discussions. 3) Freedom of choice - even after the trip has started ⛔ If you notice in the first few days that the chemistry is unexpectedly not right and the situation cannot be improved despite talking, you can cancel the trip without any major financial risk. 💵 You will be refunded the full travel price in local currency, minus any costs already incurred: ➖ Costs already incurred (accommodation, activities, transportation) ➖ JoinMyTrip fee (15% - can be refunded by JMT if necessary) bookings that can no longer be canceled (e.g. flights, train/bus) You can usually get up to 70% of your travel price back. Your gut feeling always takes precedence - money should never be an obstacle if you feel unwell. _____________________________________________ ❓ For questions, suggestions and ideas -> save trip + ask question. I'll be happy to open a private chat and we can discuss all the details in peace. :)

5/5

Timo is very interessted that everybody who joins the trip, can make the best out of it. When there was a problem (for example with an accomodation) Timo helped out the best he can to make the trip good again. I had always the option to have free time and do what ever I want. But it was also always possible to be with the group. Timo also involved the group concerning for example the time of transportation. As a woman I felt very save and welcomed. Timo even asked in the end what to improve or to think about for the next time, expecially as a woman.

Bangkok

Day 1-2

Welcome to Thailand! 🇹🇭✌️ We start together in the evening in Bangkok by night bus or night train towards the Gulf of Thailand. We can tour Bangkok during the day and I'll show you my favorite spots away from the typical tourist strongholds. The night buses & trains are very comfortable, but you still won't get the most restful sleep. After an exciting night, we arrive on Koh Tao in the morning.

Ko Tao

Day 2-5

To recover from the long journey, it's time to relax on the beach. If you are interested in a diving course (or a trial dive), we will be happy to look for a suitable diving school together. It is important to pay attention to criteria such as course language, PADI/SSI certification, diving instructor, group size, pool and condition of the equipment. As an experienced diver, I am happy to help you choose the right diving school and try to negotiate a group discount. In the evening, we get in the mood for the coming days at a pub crawl or in one of the beach bars (❌drinks not included). The next day, a boat tour to the best snorkeling spots and bays around the island awaits those who don't want to dive (✅ included in the tour price). Here, too, there are many opportunities for solo travelers to meet other solo travelers. If you want to experience even more action, there are numerous other activities that can be booked spontaneously on site (❌ not included in the tour price). The most popular activities include - Island exploration by scooter - (Trial) diving - Muai Thai boxing - Thai cooking class etc.

Ko Pha-ngan District

Day 5-8

After a few relaxing days on Koh Tao, we move on to the larger neighboring island of Koh Phangan. The biggest beach party in Southeast Asia takes place here every month, but we will miss it. But there are plenty of other half-moon, black moon, jungle and beach parties here, so don't worry ;) We will rent a scooter here (✅ included) to discover the various beaches, waterfalls, view points, coconut plantations and hidden spots. Riding a scooter is the key to staying mobile in Southeast Asia. You don't need a driver's license on this island (or let's say it's not checked 😃) and if you don't have any experience with scooters or motorcycles, I can teach you the basics on a quiet part of the island. Nevertheless, use is of course up to you and at your own risk.

Krabi

Day 8-10

After just under a week on the islands, we will leave the Gulf of Thailand and travel by ferry and bus to the west coast. The journey will take at least half a day. Once we arrive in Krabi, we will use the late afternoon and evening to explore the relaxed city and eat together at the local street food night market. On the second day, we will hire another scooter (🛵 ✅ included) and explore the beautiful karst landscape and the fantastic (but crowded) beaches of Ao Nang. After an eventful day, we can feast on our favorite Thai dishes at the night markets in the evening and enjoy our last evening together. The next morning we still have time for a hike through the mangrove forests or a short stroll through the town before part of the group heads to the airport and on to northern Thailand. ✈️ Krabi offers you the ideal starting point for further island days on Koh Lanta (quiet), Koh Phi Phi (wild) or Phuket (touristy). You can also travel with us to the airport and take one of the many cheap domestic flights back to Bangkok (❌ not included in the tour price).
