We’ve just returned from a wonderful holiday. Everything was meticulously planned and the holiday was better than we could have hoped for. All of the recommendations were spot on and it’s clear our wishes were fully understood during the planning phase. The in-depth knowledge of the hotels and destinations was remarkable. We will be recommending Yonder to everyone we know.

This is a customisable trip
Use the following itinerary for inspiration. Remember: all days, hotels and activities can be altered to suit your requirements. A Yonder Travel travel specialist will be happy to advise.
Day 1 –3
Arrival and explore Bangkok
Bangkok
Excitement is in the air and you'll be met by our representatives who'll whisk you from the airport to your hotel. Once you’ve settled in, and had a splash in the pool, your guide and driver will be waiting to take you out on a journey of discovery. First, it’s a cultural awakening at the Grand Palace with its sparkling spires and its golden gates. Next, it’s on to Jim Thompson’s fabulous teak house before finishing up with an adrenaline pumping longtail boat experience on the Chao Phraya river. If you want to venture out alone perhaps to a night market or to the backpackers paradise of Khao San Road, it’s easy to navigate the city using the Skytrain.
Featured Accommodation
Day 4 –8
To Koh Phangan
Ko Phangan
You’ll land at Koh Samui’s thatched airport terminal in the late morning and will be whisked away to the nearby pier to catch your private speed boat (very James Bond!) to Koh Phangan. The perfect banana shaped bay of Thong Nai Pan Noi is the kind of place that must have inspired Alex Garland when writing The Beach. You’ll have long lazy days on the golden sands whilst the kids snorkel, sea kayak and frolic in the hotel pool.
Featured Accommodation
Day 9 –13
Koh Samui
Ko Samui
You’ll cross Koh Phangan’s rugged interior, making your way to the pier at Thong Sala to catch the high-speed catamaran back to Koh Samui, where your driver will be waiting to take you off for your second sandy sojourn. The next few days can be action-packed for the kids, with anything from trying their hand at scuba diving, to mastering the ancient art of Muay Thai boxing, to learning to paddleboard and sail. And whilst they are having fun, you can alternate between the pool, the beach and the spa.
Featured Accommodation
Day 14
Return to Bangkok
Bangkok
On your last day, you’ll catch an early-morning flight to Bangkok and will then connect in to your international flight.
This suggested itinerary finishes back in Bangkok for your return flight, but don't let that stop you! This route can be customised as far as your imagination will allow – contact us now to discuss your preferences!

Bangkok
Known by the locals as Krung Thep, Thailand’s capital city is a sprawling, sweaty fusion of old and new, where towering skyscrapers emerge from crumbling pavements, and historic temples are circled by colourful tuk tuk cabs and monks clad in vibrant orange robes... -
Ko Phangan
This funky island to the north of Ko Samui has a reputation for a hippie-stoner scene and drunken debauchery at the monthly Full Moon Party on Haad Rin... -
Ko Samui
In the southern Gulf, Thailand's second largest island has a cute airport to go with most of the same types of made-for-tourism attractions and lodgings that are found on Phuket... -

Travelled to India with Yonder in June this year and had the most incredible time!
We wanted to see both the main tourist attractions in India, but also to see a more authentic side of India and Yonder made it happen, taking us to places we would have never considered without their suggestions.
From beginning to end, Yonder were great and made our trip to India so special. We can’t recommend them enough

Nico our thoroughly professional, knowledgeable and extremely personable travel expert discussed with us our desires for our trip as well as our likes and our dislikes, he was then able to organise an itinerary for us. Nico made suggestions to us that we would never have been aware of had we just attempted to plan the trip ourselves such as staying in the most luxurious and delightful ‘tent’ we have ever stayed in positioned beside a beautiful reservoir teeming with glorious wildlife.
Upon writing this we are due to go on our third holiday booked with Yonder, and we know that when we return we will be planning our fourth. We cannot recommend Yonder travel highly enough, they are without doubt an excellent company and embrace what seems like a lost philosophy of true care and attention!

From the time we first contacted them to when we arrived back from our holiday, Yonder delivered everything and more they promised. The trip they planned for us was perfect and confirmed their detailed knowledge of the country and places we visited. When a small hiccup occurred it only took a call to them for it to be sorted while we had dinner at one of the fantastic hotels they chose for us. They really did give the personal supported service throughout our trip that so many other firms just claim. We now have some fabulous memories to keep us going till we plan our next trip with them.

Used Yonder recently for a holiday for my girlfriend and I and I have nothing but positive feedback for them. The holiday was expertly planned and exceeded our expectations. Our accommodation was first rate and our personal driver was not just knowledgeable but a pleasure to travel with. We were thoroughly looked after at all hotels and the sights and experiences that were arranged for us were all first class. Keep up the good work guys.
