{tab Day 1}

Koh Samui, Thailand

Make your way to the hotel for some serious free day planning & kick off your east coast journey in the city that brought us rambutan & salted eggs by doing absolutely nothing. By the pool. You'll get the hang of it soon.

Koh Samui

Hit the ground running (rather, the water speeding) with your full day Angthong Island tour. Zoom around the marine park that consists of 40 islands all rising majestically from the sea & take your time to do the big 3 - snorkelling, swimming & kayaking & throw in sunbaking & selfie-ing. Lunch is on the boat. Because #paradise

Included today: Full day Angthong Island tour & Angthong Marine National Park entrance fee

Meals: Breakfast & lunch.

{tab Day 3}

Koh Samui

A free day to work on your tan, sip from a coconut & catch up on your winks. Get an early start & watch (& snap) the sunrise from the beach, or go looking for the Wat Phra Yai (Big Buddha Temple) to get your temple fix. Treat yourself to a full day of island-ing & snorkelling at Koh Tan, or for the adventurous among you go for a full day of ziplining & 4x4s in a rainforest plus a dip in the local waterfall. Tough call.

Included today: Free day

Meals: Breakfast.

Koh Samui to Koh Phangan

Two things: breakfast, then one last dip with the coral before we head north to the smaller (but no less epic) island Koh Phangan. Renowned for its bi-monthly Full &  Half Moon parties (that's a party every 2 weeks), this island is no stranger to the music. Also, you know the beaches have gotta be good when the island features prominently in Alex Garland's novel The Beach. Spend the rest of the afternoon getting acquainted, then find your own nook for dinner.

Meals: Breakfast.

{tab Day 5}

Koh Phangan

Two days on the island that puts all others to shame. Free day 1 plan: breakfast, hammock, coconut. If you get (impossibly) bored, head north on a long tail boat or hire a motorbike to explore the quieter beaches - Bottle Beach & the cove of Haad Salad (yes, salad) are a good start. Or go looking for the island's banana pancake trail. Dinner is wherever your nose leads you.

Included today: Free day

Meals: Breakfast.

{tab Day 6}

Koh Phangan

Free day 2 - feeling fresh? Start with a roadside coconut prepared right in front of you. Get a Thai massage then continue your tranquility jaunt & venture north east to Thaan Sadet waterfall to cool off in its pools, or go stand up paddleboarding in Ban Tai & pretend you're getting some fitness into your holiday. Then hike to Ao Plaay Laem for the best sunset on the island.

Included today: Free day

Meals: Breakfast.

{tab Day 7}

Koh Phangan to Koh Tao

On to Koh Samui & Koh Phangan's baby, Koh Tao. The island was named (Koh Tao = "turtle island") after its turtle-like shape, & is an important breeding ground for the critically endangered hawksbill & green turtle species. Diving here is like ticking off Mount Everest for climbers, so be sure to don your snorkel & join a diving group - you can even get your diving certification here so pay attention!

Meals: Breakfast.

{tab Day 8}

Koh Tao

Free day take one. If you didn't get your scuba diving fix yesterday, today's your last chance. For the non water babies amongst you there is always hiking, rock climbing & bouldering (climbing boulders, duh), still with a view over the best beaches in the Gulf of Thailand. Want to flop down for the entire day one last time? Go on. Chalok Baan Khao towards the south is perfect for lazing.

Included today: Free day

Meals: Breakfast.

{tab Day 9}

Koh Tao to Koh Samui

The trip ends after we arrive back in Koh Samui, but stick around & test your courage with a salted egg.

Meals: Breakfast.
