Southern Thailand (Bangkok to Koh Tao)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Southern Thailand is a classic Southeast Asian route that takes travellers from the buzzing metropolis of Bangkok through the Gulf of Thailand's island chain, ending at the diving mecca of Koh Tao. The journey typically passes through Koh Samui and Koh Phangan — the latter famous for its Full Moon Party — before reaching Koh Tao, one of the world's most popular and affordable places to get PADI certified. Along the way, travellers encounter street food culture, ornate temples, vibrant night markets, and some of the region's most photogenic turquoise waters. It's a well-trodden but endlessly rewarding route that suits solo backpackers and group travellers alike.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Southern Thailand (Bangkok to Koh Tao) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
