WHERE DOES THE TOUR START AND FINISH?
The Ultimate Thailand Group tour starts in Bangkok and ends on the Koh Phangan.
Your tour guide can help you arrange onward travel at the end of the tour, or select the return transfer option when you book.
WHO WILL I BE TRAVELLING WITH?
Whether you’re travelling solo or with a mate, you’ll meet like-minded travellers from all over the world on this Thailand Group tour. Group sizes vary with each tour however we like to keep things fun yet personal so you’ll be travelling with no more than 30 others.
DO I NEED VACCINATIONS?
We recommend making an appointment with your GP to discuss which vaccinations will be needed for your trip.
The Hepatitis A vaccine is strongly recommended. Rabies pre-exposure vaccination may be an option, but not essential.
Malaria isn’t common in the areas we visit, but stock up on bug spray in Bangkok as there are other diseases such as Dengue that are more common.
We recommend organising all vaccines at least 4-6 weeks before your trip to Thailand.
CAN I BOOK EXTRA NIGHTS?
If you need additional nights before or after your Thailand Group tour, just add them to your booking when you checkout.
Not sure if you need extra nights? Get in touch to chat with a member of the crew before or after you book.

WHAT ABOUT THE FULL MOON PARTY?
Your Ultimate Thailand tour ends in Koh Phangan, home to the legendary Full Moon Party!
Some Ultimate Thailand tour dates coincide with the Full Moon Party. If your tour lines up with a Full Moon Party we'll make sure your group can attend.
There are also some epic Half-Moon parties on the island that take place in the middle of the jungle! If your tour dates align, we'll also give you the option to join the party!
If your Ultimate Thailand tour does not line-up with any “official” Full Moon parties, no need to worry! We always organise Ultimate parties for you in Koh Phangan regardless!
Check out our guide to the Koh Phangan Full Moon Party here.
DO I NEED A VISA?
In some cases, yes, and the process is very easy!
Citizens of 41 different nationalities, including Australia, NZ, UK, USA and most of Europe, can enter Thailand without a pre-arranged visa. This ‘visa exemption’ allows you to stay 30 days when entering Thailand by air, and 15 days when crossing into Thailand by land.
It's worth noting that without proof of an onward ticket and sufficient funds for your expected stay any visitor can be denied entry. For more information about 60-Day Tourist Visas, Visa Extensions and Visa Runs check out our Thailand visa info here.
WHAT AIRPORT DO I FLY IN AND OUT OF?
This Ultimate Thailand Group tour starts in Bangkok.
You can choose to fly into either of the two International Airports, Don Mueang (DMK) or Suvarnabhumi (BKK). Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is the newer airport of the two and is a little closer to the city.
Return flights to Bangkok are generally cheaper than organising a flight one-way. Our tour ends in Koh Phangan but your guide will be able to advise you on the best way to get back to Bangkok for your flight, and help you organise the transfer!
WHAT HAPPENS IF MY FLIGHT IS DELAYED?
If your flight arrival information changes, please let us know as soon as can so that we can rearrange your airport transfer. You can give us a call or email us with the updated date, time and flight number. If your flight is delayed, please find the relevant contact number to call on your Welcome Booklet to adjust your pick up time.
