I’ve just put a request through for this tour. Did any of you get a pre-tour and post-tour accomodation with this? If so, did it get confirmed?

@ Jen – sounds great! So you can fill me in on anything I would normally forget to pack, yeah?
@ Dynamite_J – I booked pre-tour accommodation myself so I could pick my hotel etc. Cheaper that way.- 0 people like this

Yo should stay at the Shiralea backpackers resort. This is used by contiki on the east islands tour. It’s a great place, you’ll meet loads of fellow travellers and it has a nice family feel about the place. Choose hotel rooms or bungalows for accomodation. Look it up on tripadvisor.
The only thing is, it’s a way away from where the full moon party takes place, about 30 minutes drive.

This is my first tour—just booked it a couple of days ago. So excited to go! Hoping to stay a little longer to explore a little more— maybe Chiang Mai or Bangkok. Going solo, so if anyone is interested in doing the same, the more the merrier :) I haven’t booked my flight yet (I’m departing from Toronto) —anyone have any tips? It’s my first time flying this far out.

Laura, I’d suggest book flights so you get there a day before so you can take the 27 th to just relax before the tour lol. Those flights are looooong. A few of us are booked at the hotel before and are planning pre drinks and dinner before the tour. Cheers !

Thanks Max!— I was looking at leaving the 25th or 26th— do a couple of stop overs to save some money, maybe see the inside of a few other airports (soooo exciting lol). Dinner sounds good! I don’t have all the details for the hotel yet though. Anyone know the name of the resort so I can book ahead?
