Bangkok's buzzing streets, Phuket's beaches, and everything in between. This trip is built for backpackers who want temples, islands, and street food packed into one budget-friendly itinerary.
Included: 6 nights hostel or budget hotel stay (twin sharing), round-trip domestic flight from Bangkok to Phuket, a guided walk through the Grand Palace, a guided food walk through Chatuchak Market, an island-hopping day trip with snorkeling at Phi Phi, a Thai cooking class, a local SIM or pocket Wi-Fi, all listed entry tickets, and a tour coordinator throughout.
Not Included: International flights, travel insurance, meals beyond breakfast, personal spending, and visa fees where applicable.
Visa: Hong Kong SAR passport holders currently don't need a visa for short tourist stays; confirm your own status before booking.
Timing: November to February brings dry, cooler weather and calm seas, ideal for island trips. March to May runs hot, and June to October brings the rainy season with occasional rough waters.
Packing: Swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen, a light rain jacket, sandals, and modest clothing for temple visits, since shoulders and knees need to be covered.
Group: You'll travel alongside solo travelers, friend groups, and pairs in a similar age range.
Group: Drink bottled or filtered water throughout the trip, and carry basic rehydration supplies if you're prone to an upset stomach from new food.
