Travellers

Real stories, real escapes.

  • Thailand · Full Moon, Christmas & New Year — travellers

    Paid, packed, turned up. That was genuinely the whole job. Food stops were picked by someone who actually eats there, not off a list. Worth every rupee, and I am not easy to please on that.

    Tara Verma, Mumbai

  • Thailand · Full Moon, Christmas & New Year — travellers

    Went in with low expectations about travelling with strangers and came back with a group chat that is still going. Stays were simple rather than fancy, clean, and always where they said they would be. Would do it again with the same crew.

    Neha Varma, Chandigarh

  • Thailand · Full Moon, Christmas & New Year — travellers

    6 nights was exactly right — long enough to settle, short enough to take off work. Free day on Koh Samui is the bit I keep describing to people who did not go. Would do it again with the same crew.

    Shreya Khanna, Gurugram

  • Thailand · Full Moon, Christmas & New Year — travellers

    Was deciding between two operators and picked this for the itinerary. No regrets. Four-island tour by speedboat came around just as the group had hit its stride, which was annoying in the best way. Already looking at their Sri Lanka · New Year (Batch 1) trip.

    Sanjay Gupta, Kochi

  • Thailand · Full Moon, Christmas & New Year — travellers

    Booked this one fairly late and still got a seat on the first batch. To Krabi was the day everyone had come for, and it delivered. Already looking at their Sri Lanka · New Year (Batch 1) trip.
