The journey
Room to celebrate. Room to breathe.
Thailand 2027 moves between two rhythms: the energy of Bangkok and the slower pace of Koh Phangan and Koh Samui. Timed around Songkran, celebration runs through the journey, alongside temples, food, culture and the everyday moments that come from discovering Thailand side by side.
Then the pace changes. Clear water, island days and time with nowhere to be give everyone room to reset before we head back to Bangkok. Energy and ease, celebration and stillness: this journey is built on both, and on the people you share them with.
Why April
A celebration worth travelling for.
Thailand in April means arriving in the middle of one of the country’s biggest celebrations. Songkran turns the streets into a joyful, all-out water fight: music playing, water flying and whole neighbourhoods caught up in the energy of Thai New Year.
And once the celebrations settle, the journey slows down. Warm days, clear water and tropical islands give us space to switch pace completely, from the energy of Bangkok to easy days by the sea.
A bucket-list experience
Songkran is one of those experiences you have to live at least once. There’s something unforgettable about being right in the middle of it: soaked through, laughing with strangers and celebrating alongside thousands of people. It’s chaotic, joyful and completely unlike an ordinary trip to Thailand.
The experience
More than a route.A journey that changes tempo.
Four threads run through these eleven days: the city, the islands, the celebration and the rest in between.
01
City energy
Bangkok is where the group finds its feet. The plan includes a guided visit to the National Museum and the Grand Palace, time at Wat Pho, the home of traditional Thai massage, and the malls and markets around MBK Center and Siam Paragon. It is loud, busy and a brilliant place to start getting to know each other.
02
Island time
Across the water, the pace drops. On Koh Phangan and Koh Samui the days are planned around viewpoints, beaches, a boat trip to Ang Thong National Marine Park and an afternoon at Than Sadet Waterfall, with space left for doing very little at all.
03
Celebration
Celebration here is bigger than one day. It starts with Songkran, Thai New Year, and carries on in smaller moments: a cooking class together, sunset on the beach, and long meals where everyone swaps stories from the day.
04
Rest & wellness
There is space in this journey to slow down, reset and look after yourself too. Between the energy, movement and celebration, quieter moments give you room to breathe, recharge and simply enjoy being where you are.

Previously in Thailand
We’ve been here before.
Thailand isn’t new to TheSoulFam. We’ve travelled here together before, exploring, celebrating and experiencing the country as a group. Thailand 2027 brings a different route, a new group and another chapter of that story.
Different route. Same SoulFam.
Accommodation
Where the group stays.
Four stays shape the journey, from the energy of Bangkok to slower days on Koh Phangan and Koh Samui, before one final night together back in the city. Each gives us a different base for the part of Thailand we’re there to experience.
Stays along the route
Dang Derm In The Park, Bangkok
In the heart of Khaosan Road, with Bangkok’s street food, nightlife and Old Town energy outside and a rooftop pool above it all.
Kupu Kupu Beach Villas & Spa, Koh Phangan
Private villas between tropical greenery and the shoreline, with sea views, pools and the easy pace of island life.
Karma Resort, Koh Samui
A tropical retreat beside Bophut Beach, with a pool, spa and plenty of space to settle into Koh Samui’s slower pace.
Ammata Lanta Resort, Bangkok
A relaxed resort-style final stay near Suvarnabhumi Airport, giving us somewhere comfortable to unwind before the journey home.
A note on pace
The best moments usually happen when nobody is rushing.
Rest & recovery
Room to slow down.
The slower moments matter just as much as the big ones. Thailand 2027 is designed with space between the experiences: time to settle into island life, enjoy your surroundings and come back to yourself before the pace picks up again. It is that balance that gives the journey room to breathe.
- AccommodationFour stays across Bangkok, Koh Phangan and Koh Samui.
- RoomingStandard accommodation is double occupancy. Private rooms can be requested when you book, priced per room.
- Facilities and wellnessWellness is part of the journey, with included experiences woven into the itinerary alongside time to rest and recharge.

Traveller fit
For people seeking more than a standard holiday.
- You want to be in Thailand for Songkran, not just hear about it afterwards.
- You love a city at full volume, and you know the value of a slow day by the sea.
- You’re curious about Thailand beyond the beaches: its food, temples, traditions and everyday life.
- You enjoy travelling with a group and meeting people you’d never have met otherwise.
- You’re happy travelling with a plan while leaving a little room for the journey to unfold.
- You value shared experiences, but still want space to slow down and enjoy some time your own way.
Before you book
Good to know before you book.
- There’s travel between stops, including flights between Bangkok and Koh Samui and boats between the islands. You arrange and pay for every flight independently; a few days involve moving from one place to the next.
- Some days involve walking, steps and climbs to viewpoints, alongside plenty of beach and free time.
- Songkran is joyful and chaotic. Expect to get soaked, and pack with that in mind.
- This is a Proposed Trip Itinerary. The overall shape of the journey is set, but sequencing and specific details may change as the trip is finalised.
- Travel insurance is not included in the trip price and is your responsibility to arrange.
- This is a hosted group trip built around shared experiences, with time to relax and explore on your own too. We ask everyone to approach people, traditions and temples with respect and curiosity.
