Time spent in each place (in days)
DAY 1:
Arrive Koh Samui
Koh Samui
If anything gets a pack of travellers feeling hyped it's the prospect of 9-days exploring the fabled Thai islands. If you can drag yourselves away from the luxe hotel we've all checked-in to, our first night in Koh Samui as a squad will see us taking in the buzzy nightlife of Chaweng Beach.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
Explore Chaweng Beach’s nightlife
Koh Samui
DAY 2:
Koh Samui
Koh Samui
Two days in Samui means plenty of time to get a taste of the place - and we don't just say that figuratively. Mangosteen & rambutan fresh off the tree, coconut & lime Panang curries & mango sticky rice are just some of the flavours on offer to pleasure your palate, in amongst ocean swims and island explorations of course.
Koh Samui
DAY 3:
Koh Samui
Koh Samui
Really, can snorkelling, swimming, soaking up the rays and sipping on fresh coconuts ever get boring? Hmm...no. But if you've got a taste for adventure, this glorious island offers plenty to keep hungry explorers enthralled. Visit the mighty Wat Phra Yai temple with its 15-metre golden Buddha statue, see the super on-trend mummified monk at Wat Khunaram, or marvel at the natural beauty of the Grandmother & Grandfather rocks on our highlights of Samui island trip.

DAY 4:
Koh Samui to Koh Tao
Koh Samui
Today we swap one ocean paradise for another, departing Koh Samui and cruising the Gulf of Thailand to Koh Tao.
Koh Tao
Ah, life on the Kohs - that's Thai for islands, if you hadn't already noticed. Today we have an orientation walk and an all included beach-side dinner to settle us into the vibes of Tao, starting life on this island right.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
Get an orientation walk of the island
DAY 5:
Koh Tao
Koh Tao
Getting under water should be high priority today. Abounding in coral beauty and (wait for it) sea turtles, Koh Tao's diving reputation is well documented. Grab a snorkel and ask your Trip Manager for the islands hidden spots - you may even be lucky enough to spot a majestic whaleshark. Above land, the islands hilly landscapes offer many pretty hiking trails and bubbling waterfalls, depending on the season. Above or below water level, the island is yours & will fill you with happy feels.

Will we be sad to leave Koh Tao today? Maybe slightly. But with another swaying palm trees destination calling our names, we're hardly sobbing into our backpacks. This afternoon we make our way to Koh Pha Ngan.

Koh Pha Ngan is fringed by flawless beaches that offer endless days of island enjoyment. Grab a snorkel and hit the seas for an island adventure, or head to Haad Yao, one of our absolute favourites, for some sea and sun.
DAY 7:
Koh Pha Ngan
Koh Pha-Ngan
It's the second last day of our island adventure and 'mai pen rai - don't worry, be happy' is now the group mentality. Enjoy a lazy breakfast and dose up on Vitamin D whilst the day may bring. It's our last full one together, so make it count.
Koh Pha-Ngan

Full Day Cruise to Ang Thong Marine Park

DAY 8:
Koh Pha Ngan
Koh Pha-Ngan
Enjoying a traditional Thai massage whilst listening to the sound of the waves, the sea breeze tickling your body - now that should be up there as a top 10 life goal. Once ticked, more Koh Pha Ngan beach hangs and some time exploring the island, fresh coconut in hand, can complete your day. *Happy sigh*
Koh Pha-Ngan
DAY 9:
Koh Pha Ngan to Koh Samui
Koh Pha-Ngan
Breathe in those last waves of Koh Pha Ngan air before we hit the seas for our ferry ride back to where it all began, Koh Samui.
Koh Samui
We'll arrive back in Samui armed with a totally zen outlook and a backpack full of incredible new memories. Say your teary goodbyes to your new wolf-pack, making plans for a reunion tour to ease the pain - not forgetting there are another collection of Thai islands just waiting to be explored.

Contiki first timer
Overall enjoyed, would I do it again ? no! Our tour guide was great and everything was managed very smoothly. Koh Tao was my fav amazing accommodation! Koh Panghan killed it for me, we spent the longest time here yet contiki didn’t take us ANYWHERE on the island other than the hotel. Couldn’t help but think this was money making for the hotel. There was a fab boat trip but open to public and not exclusive to contiki, last hotel was poor. Pool area great (only hotel with outdoor pool) nothing good to say about the rooms, bathroom was a wet room with a toilet seat hanging off, one tiny mirror, no hand or hair towels, stained bed sheets with holes,, curtain pole kept falling down, and on the last night they forgot to put a bed sheet on so we just had a mattress and a mattress cover?? I’m always sad to go home after holidays I was happy to leave here. Great for backpacking on the cheap but not relaxing or enjoyable for a holiday. They arranged bar games and quizzes as entertainment kinda felt like an 18-30 holiday something I realllly didn’t want to be doing in such an amazing place as Thailand, guessing the average ***** size when I could be sipping a cocktail on the beach. Maybe I’m
Too old at almost 30 for this kind of tour. The excursions offered were great but we did have a few conversations with people not on contiki Who appeared to be getting them for cheaper. Other than the last island I’d have rated this a lot higher

I chose the islands of Thailand as I hadn't travelled overseas before and wanted somewhere cheap and short. Thai Island hopper was perfect. The culture of another country was amazing, the food amazing, and the people, both locals and those I spent time with on the contiki were just spectacular.

The only issue is that the trip could do with being a day or two longer, I loved Koh Tao and it was the island we spent the least time on.
Also I had no problems with the Shirelea accommodation but there could be improvements there too, for example a fridge in your room is a must! Also WiFi Access Points should be distributed so that you can still access the internet in your room too.

The trip was amazing! Our contiki leader was awesome! Thoroughly enjoyed it! Cannot wait for the next contiki adventure!!
The reason I travel contiki is because everything is organized and planned, I know that I don't have to stress about what is happening next.
Only complaint would be the last place we stayed, Shiralea - I was very disappointed, It was very basic and it certainly killed the vibe for me, yes there is a bar and a pool - but so do all other resorts/hotels - not the biggest fan, don't have much good to say about the place. Nearly booked a hotel down the road as I wasn't planning on staying at a backpackers.... Other then that - trip was incredible! I cannot wait to travel again with contiki!!!!
