Day 1 - Welcome to Thailand! Arrive in Bangkok, the city of dreams, the land of smiles, the start of the best goddamn 9 days of your life. We’re ready and waiting at the airport to pick you up. So grab your bags and we’re on our way! We take you to our first hotel where you can chillax, no really that’s it’s name. Chillax resort and it’s a beauty! The afternoon is free to spend as you please, it’s been a long flight so connect to the wifi and order any and every cocktail that contains a funky umbrella or colourful straw. Start your boujee adventure as you mean to go on right? We stay close to the famous Khao San road so if you fancy getting out of the hotel, check it out, grab a massage or hit up the markets! In the evening we meet up with the rest of the group and the legends you’ll be spending the next 9 days with. It’s our first night so we grab a welcome dinner and see where the night takes us.. Airport pick up included - Visit the night market

Day 2

DAY 2 - Exploring Bustlin Boujee Bangkok! How was your first night? Of course it was out of this world. You’re in Bangkok, there really is no place like it! Chill out in the morning, swap instagrams with your new pals and whack out those sunnies you bought after 1 too many cocktails last night. In the afternoon we take private transport to the Grand Palace. Dazzling, spectacular, dripping in elegance and gold the Grand Palace is the most famous landmark in all of Bangkok so it’s only right we visit. We learn about Thai history and culture and take a look around. We head back and get suited and booted, well grab a shower and put on some fresh clothes, as tonight we’re heading to one of Bangkok’s most famous sky towers.The views are insane, the cocktails delicious and the company? Well it doesn't get any better! Afterwards we explore some of Bangkok’s hidden bars. Top secret, We won’t tell if you won’t Activities - Grand Palace tour and evening visit to Sky Bar

Day 3

Day 3- A Railay good time! Today we bid farewell to Bangkok, it’s been Thai-rific and we’re sad to leave but it’s time to hit up the islands. Premium style! First stop Krabi! We catch a flight in the afternoon and check into our luxury hotel. A beautiful resort located in Railay, relax by the infinity pool surrounded by limestone mountains. Yeah, we’ve taken you to paradise. Freshen up before hitting the beach. We’re sailing into the sunset, Disney style. Well, not quite we’re kayaking but the experience is just as magical. Go pro’s at the ready, as we kayak into the hidden gem of Phra Nang Cave. A tru-ly authentic Thai experience, known to bring good fortune and fertility from the legend that is Phra Nang sea princess goddess herself. is. As the sun goes down we paddle back to the beach where cocktails are calling our name. Hey, we’ve worked up a sweat. It’s only right we have a daiquiri or 5. A TruExclusive, A Tru experience, A Tru memory like no other. Activities - Thai massage - Sunset Kayaking - Visit Phra Nang Cave

Day 4

Day 4- Viewpoints, cooking classes & rock climbing baby! Rise and shine! It’s an early one, we leave the hotel around 8am and take a hike up to one of Thailand’s most famous viewpoints. The views are breathtaking, the hike, maybe a little breaktaking too.. But so god damn worth it when you get to the top! Insta worthy shots fo sure. In the afternoon you have the option to take part in a 3 course traditional Thai cooking class, yep we’ve got the pro’s teaching you to be a pro. Or if you don’t fancy yourself as a world renowned chef, or just prefer to devour 7/11 toasties for breakfast, lunch and dinner then spend the day rock climbing. Climb the limestone cliffs and sea the stunning sea from up high! In the evening we hit up the best beach bars for a well needed and deserved drink. Boujee cocktails only please. Activities - Hike to Railay View point / Rock Climbing

Day 5

Day 5 -We’re in Phi Phi BEACHES! Next stop Phi Phi island! Phi Phi is famous for many things other than the filming of a young Leonardo Dicaprio in The Beach. Hey he’s gorgeous and we’re still swooning..We love Leo, both the babe and the Thai beer. But Phi Phi is so much more than that. Golden sandy beaches, pristine blue waters. It’s heaven. We catch the boat across and once arriving the afternoon is yours to do as you please. Catch some zzz’s on the beach, grab a acai bowl smoothie or relax in our fancy ass hotel. There’s no better place to watch the sun go down than the famous Phi Phi viewpoint, so we head there for sunset. Grab your TruFam in close, the skies are golden orange and candy floss purple. Pure perfection. Phi Phi’s nightlife is POPPIN. So if you fancy partying your flip flops off, or watching a wild fire show on the beach, well we’re with you every step on the way. What happens in Phi Phi stays in Phi Phi right? Activities - Phi Phi View point - Beach party & fire shows

Day 6

Day 6 - Island hopping Phi Phi! Wake up to the sounds of the waves, the fresh crisp sea air, walk outside you’re in paradise. It’s a chilled one before we jump on a speed boat to explore. James Bond style. Sunglasses on, wind in your hair, we’re island hopping in style! We sail the turquoise blue waters, speed through the emerald green scenic views. Trust us, there’s nowhere else you’d rather be in the world. We hit the gems that are Monkey Island, (no really there’s monkey’s there) Viking Cave and Pileh lagoon. All as different and tru-ly spectacular as the next. Like we said we don’t do average, we do bucket list ticking, mind blowingly awesome. Jump in!

From action to relaxation Phuket’s got it all, your Travel Ninja can point you in the right direction for any afternoon activities you want to tick off that bucket list.

Yeah we know how to spoil you ;) Activities - Luxurious massage / spa treatment

Day 8

DAY 8 - An El of a good time! Today is our last full day together and what a trip it’s been! So we head to the local elephant sanctuary to visit Thailand’s national animal. We get up close with these friendly giants and learn how they are rehabilitated and cared for day to day. Animal welfare is extremely close to our hearts at Tru and the elephants here are free to roam and are not here for the entertainment of tourists. We educate ourselves and use this opportunity to distribute funds to programmes that do good. Hey it’s a El of a morning! ;) We arrive back early afternoon and have a few hours to get ready for our final night! Go big or go home! We head to one of Phuket’s most famous spots for sunset in Promthep Cape and have a delicious dinner on the beach and see where the night takes us. It’s our last night so it’s only right we make it one to remember... We can already taste the sex on the beach..cocktails. Activities - Elephant Sanctuary - Famous Sunset location

Day 9

Day 9 - Farewell.. For now! Check out day, we’re not crying you are. Have a chilled morning, It’s been an unreal 9 days of exploring Thailand in Tru comfort in style.

Your Travel Ninja is on hand for and any onward travel plans you may have, or even an impromptu sadness induced hug. All the important stuff.

Are flights & insurance included?

While we would love to include flights and insurance in our trip packages, it is not feasible to have a fixed price due to the diverse destinations, trip durations, and individual coverage needs of our travellers from around the globe. However, once you register for the trip, we will assign you a dedicated Travel Concierge. They will work closely with you to arrange the ideal flights and insurance tailored to your specific adventure. Rest assured, our team is here to ensure you have a smooth and hassle-free travel experience from start to finish!

Why should I book now?

After the last unexpected disruption to travel caused by the..c word..people are now more eager than ever to venture out and explore the world, determined not to miss out on any experiences. Global Work & Travel works on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Booking earlier ensures that you don’t miss out on the best intake, season, placements and more! We recommend our travellers take 6-12+ months to plan their trip for a reason - to make sure you’ve got everything organised perfectly, stress-free. As a Global Traveller you’ll get exclusive access to gWorld, our personalised app where you can keep all of your important documents and trip details in one spot and gain insider access to everything Global.

Can I travel with a friend or partner?

Yes you can! Simply tell your Trip Coordinator after booking that your friend is also going and they can link your profiles. For most of our trips we should be able to have you and your friends placed together or nearby. Meaning that you can live, work, play & travel together! But wait there's more! Not only can you travel the world with your besties at your side, you can also earn some extra cash towards your own trip just by referring your friends to Global Work & Travel. You can learn more about the great referral rewards program inside your gWorld account once you join. And for those who decide to go-it-solo, we’ve made it easier to meet other Global Travellers in the same region as you. Just like any other social platform, you’ll be able to interact, share, chat and meet with some really cool people who are doing trips just like you!

Can I bring my pet along?

At Global Work & Travel, we share a deep love for animals and fully understand the special bond you have with your pet. We recognise the challenges of embarking on a trip without them. Due to travel restrictions, requirements, and limited pet-friendly accommodations among our host organisations, we regretfully cannot facilitate their inclusion in the journey. However, many of our customers choose to entrust their pets to a family member or friend, embark on their adventure, and return home to wagging tails and furry cuddles.

What happens if I need to cancel my trip?

We know that life can get in the way of travel, so all our trips come with a great deal of flexibility. In most cases, if you cannot travel on your selected date, you can place your trip on hold to deal with whatever is holding you back, and continue in the future without incurring any penalty. You may also have the option of transferring to an entirely different trip and destination as well, or even transferring your trip to a friend or family member. In the event that you need to outright cancel your trip, if you give us 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put toward any other trip that we offer, including tours through third-party providers, as well as holidays through DealsAway.com, and is valid for 2 years from date of issue. As international travel can be complex, your options are based on the progress of your trip organisation and our support team can assist you in finding the best solution for your needs.
