2024 Trips to Thailand & Philippines
UPDATE: As of the 14th of October all trips for 2024 to Thailand and Philippines are now sold out ,now taking booking for 2025,January onwards....
We are currently focusing on men-only trips for members aged 35+ to Thailand and the Philippines. These trips will alternate between months and occur every second month or as demand requires.
Following the success of these trips, we will expand our offerings to include ladies-only and couple-only trips, depending on membership demand.
Uganda Trips: Late 2024
Update 10th October : Uganda Safari fun trips posponed until 2025.
Trips to Uganda will be introduced in late 2024, subject to member interest. These will initially focus on couples-only and include safari adventures, city explorations, and lakeside retreats. Age group: 25+. Over time, these trips will be expanded to cater to all member categories.
South America: 2025
Starting in 2025, we will launch trips to South America, driven by member demand. Stay tuned for more details as we continue to expand our destinations.
Wedding Trips
We offer exotic wedding trips to Uganda, Thailand, and the Philippines. These all-inclusive packages cover everything from location videos and food experiences to hair and makeup stylists, photographers, and more—all at attractive prices. To ensure satisfaction, we arrange pre-booking visits for the bride and groom to meet the service providers and tour the venue.
Relocation Trips
For those considering relocation to Thailand or the Philippines, we recommend joining one of our standard trips and potentially extending your stay up to one month. This allows you to fully experience the local culture, lifestyle, and opportunities.
If you've already decided on relocation, we offer one-on-one relocation services with the help of our on-the-ground expat members and local professionals. We can assist with everything from legal and medical advice to property rentals and purchases. Once a destination mainly for single men, Thailand and the Philippines now attract many couples and single women seeking a better quality of life at lower costs.
Important Note
All upcoming events depend on securing the minimum quota of 10-12 members per trip to ensure cost-effectiveness and keep prices low for our members.
The Island Holiday Club is a members-only club where members help shape the trips, and we handle the logistics. Once dates are set, planning typically requires six weeks before the holiday departs.

Thailand Trip 2025 Koh Samui & Hua Hin
General Overview
- Flights: All flights are booked with international main carriers. Luggage is checked through to the final destination, minimizing layover times for convenience.
- Hotels: Carefully selected to meet high standards, each hotel offers spacious rooms with air conditioning, king or queen-sized double beds, swimming pools, 24-hour reception, room service, and safe for valuables.
- Each club member enjoys their own spacious room (double occupancy), with the option to have a guest or friend stay overnight.
- Tours & Transfers: Over 14 days, the itinerary includes 6 day tours by private air-conditioned bus and 3 transfers between locations.
- Daily Schedule: Designed with flexibility in mind, day tours start at 11:30 am and conclude by 5:30 pm. This allows for leisurely breakfasts and ample time to enjoy the nightlife without worrying about early morning obligations.
Flexible Itinerary
Day 1: Departure
- Departure: Group departure from Dublin and Cork Airports to Koh Samui International Airport (USM).
Days 2-8: Koh Samui
- Mornings: Enjoy your mornings at your own pace. Stay in bed or lounge over a full Irish breakfast until 11:30 am.
- Tours: On tour days, departure is at 11:30 am, returning by 5:30 pm. On non-tour days, you can join group activities like beach trips and town explorations or venture out on your own. Our hotel is centrally located in the heart of Koh Samui’s bustling life.
- Lunch: Served between 1:30 pm and 3:00 pm. On tour days, a specially prepared packed lunch will be provided to suit your taste.
- Tours Selection: Members select tours in advance from a list curated by local expats, ensuring unique and authentic experiences.
- Meals: All meals are either Irish-style or local cuisine, depending on your preference.
- Evening Schedule: Dinner is served from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, followed by nightlife events starting at 8:30 pm. With music for all tastes, you won’t be disappointed, and for those missing home, we host an Irish-style social dance event.
Day 8: Transfer to Hua Hin
- Transfer: After enjoying Koh Samui, a transfer will take you to the beautiful beachside town of Hua Hin.
- Hua Hin offers a laid-back atmosphere at first glance, but once you get to know the area, it can be as lively or as tranquil as you desire. With the right local knowledge, you'll discover vibrant pockets of activity in and around the town where you can dive into the bustling nightlife or retreat to peaceful, quiet spots for relaxation. Whether you're seeking excitement or calm, Hua Hin caters to every mood and preference.
-
For the next week of the holiday, we offer a similar agenda, but in Hua Hin, it takes on a whole new meaning. Unlike Koh Samui, Hua Hin is a beachfront location that draws not only tourists but also a large community of foreigners who live there full-time. This gives the town a unique mix of cultures and experiences.
In Hua Hin, you’ll discover areas that cater to tourists as well as spots frequented by long-term expats, each offering a different flavor of adventure. From lively beach bars to hidden expat hangouts, you'll get the chance to experience the full spectrum of what this fascinating town has to offer.
