Weather

Thailand brings the heat and the good vibes year-round. November to February is peak season, with cooler, drier days, blue skies, and comfy temps around 25–30°C — perfect for island hopping, temple hopping, and sunset chasing. March to May turns things up a notch with hot, sunny days (30–35°C), ideal for beach lounging and slow, tropical living. June to October is monsoon season, but it’s nothing wild — think warm rain showers that roll in fast, cool things down, and leave everything lush and green. Fewer crowds, epic landscapes, and still plenty of sunshine between showers. No matter when you go, Thailand always delivers.

Getting There

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

Phuket (HKT) Your trip will finish in Phuket and we recommend departing from Phuket International Airport. When booking flights you can either book two one way flights (one into Bangkok and one out of Phuket), or as internal flights are usually cheap you could also find a flight back to Bangkok for around £50, meaning you could purchase a return flight from Bangkok for a potentially cheaper price. Be careful though as there are two airports in Bangkok! On the last day of Camp we recommend a flight after midday, we have a final night out on Bangla Road 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.
