Southeast Asia (Bangkok to Koh Tao)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Bangkok to Koh Tao route is one of Southeast Asia's most iconic travel corridors, taking travellers from Thailand's frenetic, culture-rich capital through the Gulf of Thailand to one of the world's top diving destinations. Bangkok dazzles with ornate temples, street food markets, and a legendary nightlife scene, while the journey south passes through Koh Samui and Koh Phangan — famous for its Full Moon Party — before reaching Koh Tao. The small island of Koh Tao is globally renowned for affordable scuba diving and snorkelling, with clear warm waters, vibrant coral reefs, and a laid-back atmosphere that attracts both beginners earning their PADI certifications and experienced divers alike.

Expect the same iconic stops — Angkor Wat, Ha Long Bay, Luang Prabang, Koh Tao — at a fraction of the cost. All cost estimates are approximate and based on current budget traveller rates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Southeast Asia (Bangkok to Koh Tao) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
