This is Thailand, without the guesswork.

Most people who want to see Thailand never actually book the trip. Too much to plan, too many unknowns. This one's already planned. Sixteen spots, February 2027, Bangkok and Phuket. You just show up.

The Route

Two cities. One trip.

Bangkok bookends the trip, Phuket sits at the center. Flying back through Bangkok before you head home also means a delayed connection never threatens your international flight.

Markets, a little pampering, and a few hands-on moments before you even leave the city.

Phuket 7 Nights · The Center

Host & Trip Administrator

Raised on the French Riviera and fluent in French and English, David has spent a lifetime moving through Europe, Southeast Asia, and Indonesia. Thailand is the place he keeps coming back to.

Ten-plus years of returning to the same streets, the same families, the same boat captains and tailors and cooks has bought him something a guidebook can't: real access. This trip runs on those relationships, not a standard tour package.

He handles every detail personally, from the first airport transfer to the last. He's also an avid scuba diver, and he'll be there for all fourteen days, not just the highlights.

"This isn't my first trip to Thailand. It won't feel like your first either."

Questions

Frequently Asked

What airport do I fly into?
Fly into Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) in Bangkok, Thailand's main international hub with direct and connecting flights from most major US cities. Airport transfers on arrival and departure are included.
Do I need a visa?
US citizens travel visa-free for tourism. You'll still need to file the free Thailand Digital Arrival Card within 72 hours of arrival. See the entry requirements above for the full rundown.
What's the weather like in late February?
Late February falls in Thailand's dry season. Expect warm, sunny days with low humidity, generally in the upper 80s to low 90s°F. Good weather for the whole trip, beaches included.
Is this trip physically demanding?
No. It's a relaxed, curated experience. You're never required to join every activity, and the pace is built for enjoying the trip, not powering through it.
What's the group like?
An intimate group, capped at 16 travelers. Small enough that it stays comfortable and easy, without feeling like a packaged tour.
Can I room with a friend?
Yes. Book the double rate and you'll share a room together. Prefer your own space? Choose the single rate instead.
What if I don't have a roommate for the double rate?
Let David know and he'll help coordinate pairing you with another guest.

No. Airfare to and from Bangkok is not included in the land-only price above.
