While researching Thailand, I found an amazing tour group for those who are between the ages of 18 and 29 years old. I used the link above to gather all of the information that is below.

Below I included top highlights, what is included in the trip, accommodations, flights, and the itinerary.

Home to ancient temples, nonstop nightlife, and stunning architecture
Thailand’s capital city has it all, including a dinosaur theme park in the middle of the city
While you’re coming in at night, you’ll have plenty of time throughout your trip to treat yourself to a Thai massage, and as much street food and Thai iced tea as humanly possible
Day 3: Tour Bangkok
Bangkok is one of the world’s top travel destinations, and you’ll soon understand why
Explore the city with your Tour Director the way it was meant to be seen: by river
This city isn’t called the “Venice of the East” for nothing
Today, you’ll visit some of the most important Buddhist temples in Thailand, including the Grand Palace
Day 4: Explore the Damnoen Saduak Floating Markets
Travel outside of Bangkok to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Markets
It’s like a mall, but everything is floating and must be accessed by longboats
You can find locally-crafted goods and fresh fruit
Day 5: Fly to Chiang Mai + Visi Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Temple
You’re headed to Chiang Mai for three days of…everything.
First up: Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. This temple is the most holy and opulent Buddhist site in Thailand
One of the top experiences in Thailand.
Day 6: Visit an Elephant Sanctuary + Wat Suan Dok Temple + Optional Home Hosted Dinner
Elephants are the grandpas of the animal kingdom, with their adorableness and little hairs atop their head, and you get to spend the morning with them
Hang with them in their natural habit before heading to the Wat Suan Dok temple and monastery
While you’re there, talk to a Buddhist monk—about your time with the gentle giants, the meaning of life, or anything else
In the evening enjoy dinner on your own or participate in an optional Lanna dinner
Day 7: Fly to Phuket + Free Time
You’re headed to Phuket, where there's an abundance of white sand beaches and palm trees
Phang Nga Bay, this bay is home to the James Bond Island, named because it’s where Man with the Golden Gun was filmed
This teetering limestone island is one very iconic rock in one insanely beautiful place
Free Time Suggestions
Bangla Road Nightlife
When the sun goes down, and the roads close to vehicle traffic, Bangla Road is the place to be
Loud music
Cheap beer
Neon lights
It’s like an outdoor club, except the drinks are ridiculously cheap
Day 8: Free Day in Phuket + Nga Hong Phang National Park
There’s more to Phuket than incredible beaches and views for days
This place is steeped in ancient history, rich culture, and endless nature
Extra Cost
Hong by Starlight
Cruise through 42 islands in the Phang Nga Bay in Nga Hong Phang National Park
Marvel at the limestone cliffs and turquoise water, kayak through secret tidal caves, and see some of Thailand’s hidden wonders
Day 9: Enjoy a Free Day in Phuket
Another day in paradise
Another day to do what you want. What’s that you say? You want to sit on the beach with a drink in hand and laugh at all your friends and family back home who are busy working, or going to school, or getting into an argument over the season finale of some show? Trust your gut. Laugh away. And then, sunscreen up!
Free Time Suggestions:
Triple Threat
Walk to Kho Sam Head, AKA “Hill of the Three Beaches,” for stunning views of three picturesque bays
Day 10: Travel to Bangkok + Farewell Dinner
We’re taking you back to the beginning, where this whole adventure began: Bangkok. Sort of poetic, isn’t it?
Farewell Dinner
Share some last laughs (and maybe shed a few tears) at an included farewell dinner with the group
Day 11: Fly Home
Goodbye friends, your next destination awaits—home. Before you head to the airport, enjoy your last few moments together. Take one more group photo. Grab that final drink. But this isn’t goodbye. It’s “See you later.” The only question is, where?
OR extend your trip! During checkout, you'll have the option to fly to (or from) the gateway of your choice for an additional fee. We'll adjust your flights accordingly, but you'll be responsible to take care of your transportation, hotels, and other logistics outside of tour
