Bangkok is known for its street food, so maybe head out with your leader and check out some roadside stalls around the Sukhumvit area.

This will be your base for the next few days, as you’ll return here after your hillside trek. Today, you’re free to relax or explore the city.

Is this trip right for you?
- This trip is designed with lots of free time to give you the flexibility and space for making your own discoveries. This is a great way to travel independently while drawing on the knowledge of local leaders.
- Part of travelling with Intrepid means respecting local cultures and sensibilities. Please bring clothes that cover the arms and pants/skirts that go past the knees. A light scarf is also a good idea for covering shoulders and arms when it’s hot.
- This trip includes a two-day hillside trek, which is challenging and involves a lot of walking. Take note of the time of year you’re trekking to know what to expect weather-wise. The wet season runs from May to October and often results in muddy or slippery paths. You will need an overnight pack to carry your belongings during the hike. Please ensure you bring sturdy walking shoes and comfortable clothes. Hiking boots and long pants during wet season are highly recommended. To make the most of the trip, it's best if you have a good level of fitness.
- Some long travel days and overnight trains are included, which can be tiresome. Although conditions are basic, overnight trains are a true local experience and the best way to travel long distances, meet locals and maximise time at your destinations. Occasionally, passengers of different genders will be required to share a compartment and/or you'll share with locals or travellers from other groups. For your own security, take a lock for your luggage.
