About your itinerary
?
Don't forget that if something isn't quite right we can make changes to the itinerary.
Thank you so much for your call recently and your interest in our wonderful gay group trip to Thailand & Cambodia in July. I am delighted to present you with your itinerary, one that you will remember for years to come and the perfect adventure for a social solo traveller.
Friendly and food-obsessed, hedonistic and historic, cultured and curious, Thailand tempts visitors with tropical beaches, glittering temples and welcoming smiles. This itinerary takes in some of the best spots, and at a pace that won't have you wishing you spent longer in the last city.
You'll have a few days in Cambodia, where there's a magic about this charming yet confounding kingdom that casts a spell on visitors. In Cambodia, the ancient and modern collide to create unforgettable experiences.
Included in your itinerary I have added both your private transfers to and from the airport, one of our team will greet you and ensure you have a seamless experience on arrival and before departure. As you are travelling a long way, I have also added in one extra night at the start of your trip, just to allow you to settle down after a long stint of travel, before you meet the rest of the group the following day. Your accommodation throughout will be private rooms.
I have no doubt you will have an incredible experience on this trip, and excited to chat with you on soon to hopefully get you booked up o this fantastic tour.
Excited to hear from you.
Happy travels,
Samantha McCormack

Your Gay Group Trip to Thailand & Cambodia
Your Gay Group Trip to Thailand & Cambodia
An awe-inspiring place, Thailand has something for everyone. If you’re an adventure junkie, you’ll probably find yourself SCUBA diving with sharks, or taking Muay-Thai kickboxing classes. If the wilder side of life isn’t your cup of tea, don’t despair – between intricate temples, Thai cooking classes, and the world’s most exotic beaches we’re confident you’ll find more than enough to keep you happy. As one of the most gay-friendly destinations in the world, Thailand is an opportunity to feel completely comfortable being yourself while experiencing a whole new side to life.
Thailand has that exotic, mysterious, exciting appeal to it. Just hearing the name “Bangkok” can send shivers down people’s spines, and the allure of the country’s jungles and mysterious culture is mesmerising. Thailand is the Mecca of adventure, carefree living, and open-mindedness. There are fewer inhibiting rules or Western nonsense here, and the Buddhist zen-like culture makes the country one of the happiest places on earth.
This 13-day trip doesn't just spend the whole time in Thailand though – you'll be experiencing the famous lost city of Angkor Wat in Cambodia too! There's a reason the Temples of Angkor are one of the 7 wonders of the world. At 402 acres in size, this is the largest religious site in the world, lost in dense Cambodian jungle for hundreds of years and now an unforgettable place for us to explore together. Between the gorgeous beaches of southern Thailand, the buzzing city of Bangkok, and the jaw-dropping Angkor Wat, you're sure to head home full of memories of a fantastic adventure.
Our 13-day trips have been designed to maximize your experience. Instead of rushing around in a panic trying to visit as many places as possible, we’ve specially chosen only our favourite spots in the region… spots we know you’ll fall in love with. How are we so sure? Well, we’ve spent years in this country tirelessly testing out beaches, bars, and bungalows just to make sure we can bring you the cream of the crop.
