There's one Experience on this trip you'll brag about for years.
It falls on Day 5 — somewhere in the Ocean that has the most beautiful Islands you'll ever see. We’re not going to spoil it here.

Day by day — the part that makes it real.
Seven days, mapped out almost hour by hour. This is where the trip stops being an idea and starts feeling like yours.
Day 1 · Fly in to Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai 3 Nights
Trendy cafés in nimman, The roof of Thailand, Michelin recommended meals and a whole lot of fun.
Thailand’s coolest creative city — cafés, historical villages, massages and the best khao soi you’ll ever eat, plus a day on the country’s highest peak.
Day 1
Arrival in Chiang Mai
Land in Thailand's Bustling Northern Capital, settle into your town-centre base, and gather for a welcome dinner at a handpicked spot in Nimmanheim.
Day 2
Cloudforest Trails & The Roof of Thailand
Explore the beauty of Doi Inthanon Park with a trainer guided Kew Mae Pan Hiking which is only available on November to May every year.
Day 3
Free Day in Chiang Mai
Free day in Chiang Mai to let you explore and let your inner adventurer out. Akshat will be there to give you any recommendations & guidance you may need.
Day 4 · Fly to Phuket
Phuket 3 Nights
Similan Islands, the local side of Phuket and one big night to finish.
The crowd-free island most travelers miss — emerald lagoons, hidden sea caves and sunsets behind the karsts.
Day 4
Chiang Mai to Phuket
Down to the Andaman coast and into Phuket's quieter south — sunset at Promthep Cape, then dinner in Old Town's Sino-Portuguese backstreets.
Day 5
The Similan Islands
A full-day Similan Islands tour aboard a luxury catamaran — snorkel crystal-clear waters over coral reefs teeming with marine life. Breakfast, lunch and an early evening dinner included.
Day 6
A Local's Phuket, Then the Big Night
The crowd-free south by day — hidden coves, the Big Buddha viewpoint, a back-lane food trail — a free afternoon, then a farewell dinner and one proper last night out.
Day 7
The flight home
One last slow breakfast by the sea, then airport transfers timed to your flight. Seven days ago, you walked into an airport alone. Look around the departure gate now. The group chat doesn’t end here — the first reunion is usually being planned before the seatbelt sign goes off.

Why 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 twelve days I’m pouring myself into.
— Akshat
Founding departure — be one of the first twelve.
