We have a more finalised itinerary now that we’ve been back to Thailand to check it all out.

Feb 22-24 - Arrive in Bankok and de-jetlag by going shopping at the Chatuchak Weekend Markets, see some Thai boxing, go shopping in Asia’s coolest mall MBK, the geeks can go to Panthip Plaza (6 storeys of counterfeit software and cheap hardware), go and see the Grand Palace if you want culture instead of cheap software, and go and see the floating markets. Alternatively you can hang out and drink cocktails by the pool bar…

Sunday 24 Feb - meet the group at the Banyan Tree. They have a gorgeous outdoor bar on the 61st floor and there is an amazing 360 view of Bangkok. We’ll probably be hosting sunset drinks there.

Monday 25 Feb - all fly down to the Islands. It’s about an hour flight from Bangkok, then we transfer to the ferry dock and take a private boat to Koh Tao. The boat will take about 2 hours.

25, 26, 27 Feb - you choose what style of travel you want. You can either lie on the beach and drink cocktails and read books, or you can be active and ride scooters around, hike, take a Thai cooking course, scuba dive, snorkel, elephant trek, and the rest.

Wednesday 27 Feb - Wedding at sunset

Thursday 28 Feb - Hangovers and more lying on the beach, snorkelling, scooters, etc etc. After that some people are heading to Angkor Wat in Cambodia (highly recommended if you can do it), and Bangkok is only about an hour’s flight from Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, and Borneo. You can also take the chicken bus like we did, but this is only recommended if you are 5 foot tall and enjoy taking 24 hour bus rides with goats. Or hardcore like Scott Harwood.
