Thailand · Koh Phangan
A Forest and Sea Weekend on Koh Phangan
“A long weekend by the beach, with forest bathing and a sound bath.”
Beach · Forest bathing · A sound bath
WHY GO NOW
We go in March or July, for two different reasons.
March is the dry month. It is one of the two driest months of the year on Koh Phangan, and on average it rains on about five days.
July is when Koh Phangan has better weather than Phuket or Krabi. Those are on Thailand's west coast, which is in its rainy season then, with rough seas. Koh Phangan is off the east coast, where it rains far less and the showers tend to be short.
We do not go from October to December. That is Koh Phangan's own rainy season.
In either month, we choose a weekend with no Full Moon Party.
WHAT WE HANDLE
Getting there
Koh Phangan is a flight to Koh Samui, a ferry and a transfer.
We arrange the ferry and the transfers, so you only need to book the flight.
The sessions
Forest bathing and sound baths vary a lot in quality.
We choose the practitioners with our local partner, so the sessions you try are good ones.
The food
Good food is part of the point. Some meals are together. For the rest, we will suggest places.
THE EXPERIENCE
Each morning there is one optional session. Forest bathing is a slow, guided walk in the forest. You stop often and cover very little ground. A sound bath is an hour lying still while a practitioner plays.
After that, the day is yours: the beach, the pool, a book, a long lunch.
YOUR TIME
Every session is optional. Skip all of them and the trip still works.
Whole afternoons are unplanned. Swim, sleep, read or walk along the beach.
One or two dinners are together. The rest of the time is yours.
DATES DON'T WORK?
Register anyway and tell us when you could go. If enough people ask for the same dates, we add a trip for them.
WHO THIS JOURNEY IS FOR
This journey is for you if:
- You have dreamed of seeing the northern lights, but never wanted the stress of planning an Arctic itinerary.
- You enjoy travelling independently, but appreciate having the difficult logistics taken care of.
- You like meeting people naturally, without being expected to spend every moment together.
- You believe memorable journeys come from good design, not busy schedules.
- You would rather have fewer places and more time than rush through checklist attractions.
Probably not the right fit if you want every hour of every day guided and scheduled.
THE LOCOSOLO CIRCLE
Every journey includes access to the LocoSolo Circle — a private community for travellers joining the same departure. Join in as much or as little as you like.
Day by day, paced on purpose.
Northern lights. Dramatic fjords. Fishing villages at the edge of the world. A coastal voyage through Arctic Norway. Every difficult detail already taken care of.
Please note
The itinerary may be adjusted to best suit your needs, weather, and operating conditions. For safety, we reserve the right to suspend participation at any time if a guest's medical condition or behaviour poses a risk to themselves or others.

Getting There
The trip starts and ends at Koh Samui airport. We arrange the ferry and transfers both ways.
Flights
Not included, by design, so you can use your miles, choose your airline, and add days before or after. Once the dates are set, we recommend flights that make the most of your time and use the fewest days of leave, and we check typical fares.
Good To Know
- Time off. A long weekend; the exact days of leave are confirmed with the dates.
- Group size. Never more than 15.
- Rooms. If you choose twin-share, we will pair you with another solo traveller of the same gender. A private room is available as an upgrade.
- Meals. Some meals are arranged; the rest are at your own cost, with suggestions from us.
- Itinerary changes. Weather may shift timing or routing, always made with safety and experience quality in mind.
- Before you go. You will be added to a private group chat with the other travellers. Everyone in it chose this trip too, so it is an easy place to start. Join in as much or as little as you like.
Join the invitation list early and you get a say before we lock the final plan and price: what to add, when to go and what you would realistically pay. If the trip goes ahead, you will hear first and get the invitation price. Nothing to pay until you decide to book.
