Which trip type is right for you?
Essential: Room with 3+ other travelers in conveniently located hostels. For social butterflies who thrive on meeting other people.
Plus: Stay with just one other person in 3- or 4-star hotels. Perfect for couples or anyone who enjoys recharging in their own space.
Why go?
Island Paradise sounds more like a dating show than a trip, which is fitting since you’re going to fall hard. Thailand is exotic, loves animals, knows all the good restaurants, and looks just as good in the city as it does at the beach. Sigh. We’ve got a good feeling about this New Year's Eve.

Itinerary

Day 1: Fly to Bangkok
Board your overnight flight, bound for Thailand! It’s a long haul, but will be well worth it. For now, sit back, relax, and practice some yoga. Try corpse pose, which, is essentially sleeping. You’ll be arriving at night the next day, so be ready to hit the hay and rest up for the coming adventures.
Day 2: Arrive in Bangkok
Welcome to the other City of Angels—Bangkok! Home to ancient temples, nonstop nightlife, and stunning architecture, Thailand’s capital city has it all, including a dinosaur theme park in the middle of the city. While you’re coming in at night, you’ll have plenty of time throughout your trip to treat yourself to a Thai massage, and as much street food and Thai iced tea as humanly possible.
- Meet an EF representative at the airport.
- Transfer to your accommodations and check in.
- Receive the latest schedule from your Tour Director.
- Rest up for the adventures to come.

Tour Guide was great for the most part but did not plan anything for New Years Eve which left us planning last minute ourselves. Make sure you are careful on what you consume over there as food poisoning is common. Best part of the tour was definitely the first boat tour where...
If you like jungles, beaches, and boat tours this is your trip. If your lucky enough to have Dream as your TD expect above and beyond from her. Dream made sure we had plans NYE and had the best suggestions for nights out at every stop. Dream loves what she does and it shows.
This 22 day trip to Thailand was absolutely incredible. I couldn’t imagine doing a shorter trip than this. This trip allowed us to see all of the highlights and mini hidden gems all around Thailand. Some of the best friendships were made during this trip and tons of memories....
