(June 2024)
This tour made me excited to see the rest of the world, and the guides especially Yas and ruby made me the most comfortable I’ve ever been in a country were I was completely out of my comfort zone. The activities were incredible and a great mix of chill and fast pace adrenaline! I would do this again in a heartbeat!
Destiny
(June 2024)
I’ve had the time of my life! As someone who has never left the uk since being a child and iris made me so comfortable from the moment I was greeted at the airport. She made the whole experience fun and exciting and pushed me to do new things all the time. I’ve made friends for life and memories i will never forget!
Emma
(June 2024)
Can’t reccomend enough, we saw sooo many places, did so many activities. It’s so full on but the best way to get into travelling expesically if you’re going solo. Guides are amazing, constantly keep the good vibes even when you’re all feeling homesick, you really do make friends for life.
Isabella
(June 2024)
I have left with not only amazing memories but life long friendships. I had the best 3 weeks i feel like I have learned so much cultural knowledge from our guide and friend Iris, as well as from more chill activities such as visiting the temples.

Starts
Bangkok (BKK)
We recommend arriving between 9am – 5pm on day 1 so you can meet your local guide in the arrivals hall. They will be wearing Camp t-shirts and will be holding a sign (You can’t miss them!). If you can, we think arriving earlier rather than later on the start day is better to allow for some down time at the hotel before the orientation and evening activities.
If you do not arrive in the selected window, you will be responsible for making your own way to the accommodation. Your local guide will be able to advise on this in the group chat. If you are planning to arrive a day earlier and want to stay near the airport in a hotel at your own cost just let us know and you can come back to the airport for the pickup window.
Ends
Bangkok (BKK)
Your trip will finish in Bangkok and we recommend departing from BKK. On the last day of Camp we recommend a flight after midday, we have a final night out so give yourself time to recover and make sure you have time for any onward travel arrangements. Remember you’ll need to check-in at the airport 2-3 hours prior.
When confirming one of our tours, you will be responsible for booking your own flights. We do this to provide you with the most flexibility on where you fly from, and also so you can find the best price for your journey.
Whilst flights aren’t included in the base price, you can request a quote from our flights partner Skylink here.

Since each of our tours visits different places, the accommodation you will be staying in will vary.
The accommodation section above will cover more detail, but all the partners we use have been hand selected by our expert tour planners, using their extensive knowledge of the areas to ensure the quality of your stay will be fantastic.
Whether you’re a first time traveller or an experienced explorer looking for your next adventure, just as long as you’re 18 or over, you can join us on Camp.
The average age is 18-28 but we also welcome many travellers in their 30s. There is no maximum age limit, so if you’re still young at heart and up for an adventure like no other then join us.
Yes, Wi-Fi is available, whether it be in a communal area or in your room. However, we try our best to ensure that Wi-Fi is available in most areas of your accommodation. You can also buy a local SIM card or e-sim so you have data on the go.
This varies depending on the programme. Check the schedule section above on this trip page to see which meals are included.
In Thailand, there is an abundance of inexpensive, fresh and delicious food from the many food stands and small family restaurants. On the days where a meal isn’t included, we recommend trying the local street food!
For about £2 per kilo, local laundry services will wash your clothes early morning and return them washed and neatly pressed the following afternoon.
Our programmes are fun-filled and action-packed but but don’t worry, you’ll still have some free time to relax or explore on your own. Your guides will be able to recommend some great activities and places to visit.
Certainly, with so many amazing places in Thailand, we encourage this! Each member of our team is well-traveled and have visited Thailand many times, so we are always happy to give you travel advice. If you want to book onto another tour to continue your travels, just let us know and we’ll even offer you a discount!
This can really vary. Thailand is relatively cheap, and it depends how well you can, or need to budget. There are also opportunities to do additional activities which you may want to get involved in. For further advice contact our team and we can help you come up with an idea how much you will need to budget for.
Definitely! You will be making friends from the moment you land in Thailand, friends you will keep for life after sharing such an amazing experience.
You will receive a packing list as part of the ‘Pre-Departure Pack’ which you will be sent after booking, but here’s just a few items we recommend taking;
The choice is yours, but a backpack is definitely more suitable for travelling around Thailand. Plus, you don’t want to look like a starry-eyed first time traveller dragging around a heavy suitcase, looking like you just landed at a 5* resort in Europe!
Passport: A full passport valid for the duration of your stay is required. Please check that you still have at least 6 months left in your passport from the time you arrive in Thailand.
Visa: Currently UK citizens are able to travel to Thailand for up to 30 days without a visa. Please make sure you read the latest travel advice here before you go!
Personal Insurance, covering the time you will be in Thailand plus any activities that you will be undertaking, as well as any planned travel to other countries.
An Enhanced DBS Check. We’ve made this easy for you – you can book this with us once you have secured your place. If you are coming from another country you will need the equivalent local police check.
We embrace and celebrate diversity in all its forms. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where individuals of every background, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, ability, and identity feel welcomed, respected, and valued. Through our programmes, policies, and values, we strive to foster empathy, understanding, and solidarity among our community members, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive and contribute their unique perspectives to our shared experience.
With our flexible booking policy we can move your trip date to another date within the same year, just make sure to let us know at least 2 months in advance! You can even change your Camp location if you fancy.
