Hey,

The full moon party is on the 17th of July the day the tour ends, will you guys be going to the full moon or are your flights booked for the day the tour ends?

I’m definitely staying the extra night- there’s no way I’m going to miss a full moon party- especially by one night!! I’m staying in Koh Samui for 3 more days after the tour too.
And travelling alone is fine- I did a European tour solo and met so many people I didnt even think about the fact that i hadnt gone with anyone- by the end of it I had 25 new friends!
you’ll find most people on tours are friendly outgoing adventurous people who have their minds open for new experiences and new friends.
Hope to see you all there!- 0 people like this

Yeah i have previously done lots of tours by myself and always have had an awesome time, one of the best was contiki in vietnam so i definately think this tour would be great!
I will definately stay the extra time for full moon, would hate to miss it, just wanted to make sure there were others on the same page : )
im hoping to book soon, just need to get some affordable flights haha

Yay, i booked! can’t wait! so I think on the last day of the tour its just a boat ride from koh phangan to koh samui, so i think i’m going to just book an extra night on koh phangan for full moon then make my own way back the next day- anyone else thinking of doing this?
Akmb- i’m only doing the tour this trip and a few days after in koh samui after unfortunately as i dont have much time. What travel were you doing before the tour?

I just booked for two nights at the best western phanganburi resort for full moon which is good cos its pretty close to the full moon party. I was having trouble booking as everywhere has like a 3-5 night minimum stay.
I checked out that Blue hill resort it looks beautiful, i would of loved to book there but they had a five night minimum : (
Soooo excited!

Hey Everyone! I Just got home from my first Contiki’s, started with the East Island Hopper! This tour is Awesome!!!!!! You guys have the Best tour guide EVER, seriously you guys are lucky!!! Get ready to have Fun! I also did the Asian Adventure It was Unbelievable! Some good advise, dont plan too much Thailand is amazing and its so easy to get around, and book flight, ect…Stay aslong as you can! I ended up staying on the Island and canceling a week of bookings! I went on my own and i was so nervous, I had never been Overseas before, but i can honestly say i felt so safe there, I ended up coming back to Koh Samui from my second contiki and stayed a week longer on my own bc i loved it so much! You guys are going to have a blast Koh Samui( Chaweng beach) is amazing, the night life on the beach and intown is awesome, gettin a few extra nights there wont hurt! I hope you all have an amazing time! Ive already booked my return this year, Get ready to have the time of ur life!
