Enquire on WhatsAppWhy this trip exists
One person. One obsession. Getting this exactly right.
I started The Dozen Collective because the trip I wanted didn’t exist — small, genuinely curated, led by someone who actually cares whether you have the time of your life. So I’m building this one the way I’d want it: scouting every stay, planning every transfer, and personally choosing the eleven people you’ll travel with.
I’ll be there the whole way, start to finish. This isn’t a tour I’m selling — it’s a trip I’m pouring myself into.

Frequently asked questions
Curious 18–40s — a mix of solo travellers and pairs from across India. Everyone has a short call with Akshat before being confirmed, so the group stays the kind of people you'd actually want to travel with.
Most of our travellers book solo — it's the whole point. You'll have company from the welcome dinner onwards, and your own space whenever you want it.
Twelve travellers, never more, plus Akshat and the crew. Small enough to eat at one table, big enough to always find your people.
The founder. Akshat plans every route and travels with the group on every departure — the person you message before booking is the person at dinner in Thailand.
Reserve with a small deposit (₹11,000–₹21,000 depending on the trip) through a secure Razorpay link. The balance is due 30 days before departure.

A 2% Tax Collected at Source that applies to all overseas trips from India. It's deposited against your PAN and comes back to you when you file your ITR — so it's included in our price, not lost money.

Internal flights within the trip are included where the itinerary needs them. International flights to and from Thailand aren't — so you can use points, pick your airline, and join from any city. We share recommended flight windows the moment you book.
Indian passport holders currently enter Thailand without a pre-arranged visa for short tourist stays — you'll just need a passport valid for 6+ months. Rules change, so we confirm the latest requirements with you before you fly.
Yes, a good Travel Insurance is Included.
Twin-share with another traveller of the same gender by default — it's how most friendships start. Want your own room? Add a private room for a supplement.
Moderately. There's one guided trek and some easy walking or kayaking depending on the trip — everything strenuous is optional and the pace is deliberately unhurried.
Yes — a small screened group, the founder present every day, handpicked stays and private transfers. Many of our travellers are solo women, and the group never splits up unless you want it to.
Thailand is easier for vegetarians than people expect, and we plan included meals with options for everyone. Tell us your dietary needs before departure and we'll handle the rest.
Yes — grab an eSIM or a local SIM at the airport for a few hundred rupees, and every stay has Wi-Fi. We send a short guide covering SIMs, currency and packing before you fly.
According to the latest Thailand Immigration Policies, every traveler has to carry a minimum of ฿20000 (Thai Baht)(About ₹60000) in Cash or Equivalent source of funds but most travelers only spend about ₹20 - ₹30K on Shopping, Utilities, Meals and Personal Expenses. But be sure to carry atleast ฿20000 in Cash or Forex Card to avoid any hassles.
November to February — cool, dry and clear in the mountains and on the islands alike. That's exactly when our departures run.
Akshat messages you on WhatsApp with the full itinerary, dates and prices. If it feels right, you hop on a short call, reserve with the deposit, and start packing. No spam, no pushy follow-ups.
