Father Son: Take it offline
Koh Samui & Khao Sok, Thailand | 8–14 April 2026
One week. Real talk. No filters.
Father–Son 2026 is a 7-day circuit breaker for young men and their role models—built around movement, honesty, and shared experience.
This is where scroll culture meets real connection. Through martial arts, survival challenges, and fireside conversations, we unpack what strength really looks like—beyond social media myths and alpha-male clichés. Together, you’ll sweat, reflect, and show up as the men you want to be.
From BJJ and jungle treks to dog shelter volunteering and Songkran celebrations, it’s part physical, part emotional, all-in.
All profits support men's mental health initiatives.
Come with your son, nephew, or younger mate.
Leave clearer, closer, and ready for what’s next.
The Program
A lads trip with a difference - 7-days for fathers/guardians and sons to train together, sharpen their mindset, and reset in one of the most powerful natural environments on earth.

The Shaka Project
The Shaka Project is an Australian mental health initiative founded by Sean Phillip in 2019. It aims to spark open conversations around mental health, especially among men, by sharing real-life stories and building community support.
Through school visits, workplace sessions, and local sporting clubs, The Shaka Project tackles topics like anxiety, depression, and suicide prevention. Their approach blends honest storytelling with practical strategies to challenge stigma and build resilience.
The project also raises awareness through a line of merchandise, with proceeds supporting ongoing outreach. At its core, The Shaka Project exists to create safe spaces where people feel seen, heard, and supported on their mental health journey.

Highlights
📍 Koh Samui
We start on the island of Koh Samui — think beaches, Thai boxing gyms, epic local food, and ocean sunrises. This is home base for martial arts, breathwork, and getting into the rhythm of the week. Most of our structured workshops, volunteering, and Songkran celebrations happen here.
🥋 Martial Arts Training
Daily movement through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai — two styles that teach you how to stay calm under pressure, move with purpose, and back yourself physically and mentally. Suitable for all levels, just bring a go-for-it attitude.
🌿 Khao Sok
Midweek, we head into Khao Sok National Park — one of Thailand’s most underrated spots. It’s dense jungle, limestone cliffs, and rivers running through it. We stay overnight in the wild, build rafts, hike, and take on survival challenges. Stripped-back and unplugged.
🪵 Jungle Survival Challenges
In the thick of Khao Sok, we build and test bamboo rafts, run river drills, and take on group decision-making challenges. It’s about trust, problem-solving, and getting your hands dirty — no phones, no spectators.
🔫 Songkran Festival
Thailand’s New Year is celebrated with a giant nationwide water fight. There’s no way to stay dry — and that’s the point. We hit the streets, play hard, and pair it with a cheeky beach clean-up that turns into a strategic team water battle.
🐾 Volunteering
We team up with local animal rescuers to walk, feed, and care for street dogs. At the end of the week, we wrap it all up with a fast-paced beach clean-up, weaving in Songkran-style water ambushes. Serious fun with real impact.
❄️ Ice Baths & Breathwork
Guided sessions that help you reset your nervous system. We combine cold exposure with controlled breathing — tools to manage stress, improve focus, and keep a level head when things get uncomfortable.
⛳ Golf Challenge
More than just golf — focus on mindset and teamwork while navigating the course. No experience needed, just bring your game and keep calm under pressure.
🍛 Cultural Immersion
You’ll do more than pass through. Learn to cook Thai food with locals, visit temples, and explore night markets. We show you the real side of Thai culture — not the tourist brochure.
