Tours in Thailand - Island hopping Thailand

Tours in Thailand- Island hopping
East Coast island hopping

Duration:	5 days / 4 nights
Price:	From £198 per person - based on two people
Departure:	Daily from Chumphon/Surat Thani, or flight from Bangkok
Route:	Ko Samui and Ko Pha Ngan

Thailand's east coast islands, Ko Samui and Ko Pha Ngan, each have their own distinct character. Ko Samui is a more developed island with charming restaurants and a variety of excursion options. Ko Pha Ngan is greener and rockier, with hidden coves filled with palm trees. We believe that these two islands complement each other and offer travellers the ultimate Thai island hopping experience. Although ferries between the two islands, we'll take you sailing past lagoons, rock islands and snorkelling bays on board a wooden junk instead. Get ready for the laidback island lifestyle!

It's possible to find adventure as well, with exciting excursions such as waterfall hikes, elephant treks and boat trips to the tiny island of Ko Mak.
