The Rabbit Hole
Two days at Mycelium
Start here
Thailand’s north has its own sound.
Most people meet Thailand on a beach. We start there too, then head north to Chiang Mai.
Chiang Mai is Thailand’s cultural heart: Lanna temples inside old city walls, northern food, night markets, mountain air and a creative streak that runs through its cafés, studios and stages.
Then, in the forest, Mycelium: independent music and art, for a whole weekend.
This is the Thailand that doesn’t show up on a beach checklist. It’s the one this trip is about.
- Days 1–2 · PhuketThe islandsOld Town streets, a full day on a boat in the Andaman, snorkelling and the first nights out.
- Days 3–5 · Chiang MaiThe northRiver evenings, Doi Inthanon’s waterfalls and pagodas, temples, Lanna food and night markets.
- Days 6–7 · FestivalMyceliumTwo days and a night camping inside the festival, then back to Chiang Mai for the Sunday Walking Street.
First night out, Phuket.

A Long Boat Day on the Andaman

The Night Before the Festival

Then we get ready for the festival weekend.
Core Experiences
- ·Old City temple walk
Optional
- ·Elephant sanctuary or a Thai farm cooking class
Chapter 3 · Days 6–7
Inside Mycelium.
Five days of islands and mountains, and this is where the trip has been heading. Two days and a night inside an independent music and arts festival in the forest.
We camp on site, so the festival isn’t somewhere you visit. For a weekend, it’s where you live.
MyceliumSound day
Lost in the Music, on Purpose
Today, the schedule gets simple. We head to the festival, settle into the grounds and let the day unfold around the music.
Find your stage, wander between sets, dance, sit back or disappear into the crowd for a while. This is one of those days best left lightly planned.
Core Experiences
- ·A full day and night inside Mycelium Festival
Mycelium → Chiang MaiSound day
One Last Festival Morning
One last slow morning at the festival. Breakfast, coffee, final walks around the grounds and time to soak it all in before packing up and heading back to Chiang Mai.
After a shower and reset, we step out for dinner and the Sunday Walking Street around Ratchadamnoen Road and Tha Phae Gate. If there’s still energy left, the night can keep going.
Core Experiences
- ·Festival checkout and the Sunday Walking Street
Optional
- ·Chiang Mai nightlife
Chiang Mai
Last Coffees, New Playlists
A slow final morning after a very full week. Breakfast, final coffees, last-minute wandering and the familiar struggle of fitting everything back into your suitcase.
Then come the airport rides, exchanged numbers and slightly-too-long goodbyes.
Core Experiences
- ·Breakfast, last-minute wandering and check-out
- ·Airport transfers and onward journeys
An outline, not a schedule. Days shift with weather, festivals and the group. An optional two-day Chiang Mai extension around the Lantern Festival is available, subject to availability and at additional cost.
What you come back with
More than a festival weekend.
A way into a scene
Music makes more sense when you know who is making it and where it comes from.
A different Thailand
Less beach checklist. More people, places and sounds you probably wouldn’t have found yourself.
A better reason to stay up late
The nights become part of the journey, not an optional add-on.
Questions
You do not need to be a music nerd.
This trip is a way into a music scene, not a trip for people who already know every name on the line-up.
Come with open ears. The rest happens on the way.
Do I need to know the artists?
No.
Is this only electronic music?
Mycelium is an independent music and arts festival in the forest, and the line-up comes from the festival itself. Ask us and we’ll share what’s confirmed for this year.
Is this a party trip?
No. Music and nightlife are part of the journey, but it’s still a Voyagio trip: islands, mountains, temples and food, with the festival weekend as the high point.
What if I don’t want to stay out every night?
You don’t have to. Nights out in Phuket and Chiang Mai are optional and some evenings are free. At the festival you set your own pace: stay by the stage until late or turn in early at camp.
Do we camp at the festival?
Yes. The festival portion includes camping before we return to Chiang Mai on Day 7.
Can I come on my own?
Most people do. Solo travellers are the norm on a Voyagio trip, not the exception.
