We’re all about redefining youth travel! Our group typically falls between the ages of 18 and 29. Now, if you’re barely tipping into your 30s and still carry that youthful spark, you might just squeeze in. But if you’re more into discussing ISAs than exploring new horizons, we might not be the perfect fit for your journey.
We keep our groups between 8-24 people, to ensure there is a good mix between getting to know others, whilst not being overcrowded!
The trip starts in Bangkok and ends in Krabi.
Flights are not included in the trip, but we’d recommend flying into Bangkok, with the exact meeting address provided before the trip.
The easiest way to get back to Bangkok if you have a return flight, is by flying directly from Krabi. We recommend using AirAsia, which costs around £70
