Chapter one

The island

Phuket is Thailand's largest island, and the place we chose to begin. Quiet beaches on one side, Old Town cafes and night markets on the other, and islands on the horizon you can reach by private boat.

You get a villa that feels like home, a driver who knows where to go, and the freedom to spend your days however you like. We take care of everything else.

Worth knowingAbout 70% of Phuket is hills and forest, not beach.

Old TownPastel shophouses from the island's tin mining days.

Best monthsJanuary to April: dry, sunny and calm seas.

Beaches, Old Town, a sunset viewpoint, or nothing at all. Tell us the plan and your driver takes you there.

Questions

When does Phuket run?

Twice a month from January to May 2027, starting with Genesis on 12 January. Every date is listed below and on our Trip Calendar.

What's the weather like?

January to April is Phuket's dry season: warm, sunny and calm seas. May is the start of the wet season, so expect hotter days and the odd tropical downpour, usually short and in the afternoon.

What happens if the trip doesn't fill?

Every trip needs at least 6 of its 8 places confirmed before we ask for the balance. If it doesn't reach 6, we'll tell you before you pay anything more, and you can move to another date or have your deposit refunded in full.

What are the two curated experiences?

Before you fly, your group picks one pair together in the WhatsApp group: half a day on a private catamaran with quad biking to the Big Buddha, an ethical elephant sanctuary with quad biking, or the catamaran with the elephant sanctuary.

Is this a guided tour?

No. We arrange the villa, the driver, the dinners and the two experiences. The rest of your time is yours, together or apart.

What if I don't know anyone going?

Nobody does at first. That's the point. Everyone applies individually, and the private WhatsApp group means you'll know a few faces before you land.

Will my phone work?

Yes. Every founding member gets a 10GB eSIM, sent before you fly, so you're online the moment you land. It works on most recent phones.

What should I budget for?

Flights, travel insurance, any visa fees, meals beyond breakfast and the two group dinners, extra activities, and personal spending.

Do I need a visa for Thailand?

It depends on your nationality. Many can visit Thailand visa free for short stays, but please check the current rules for your passport before booking flights.
