Tours of Thailand

Get beyond the tourist façade of the countries you visit. Focus on the local culture, past and present, and discover the lifeblood of any country – its people. Discovery and culture tours uncover different ways of life, and offer the opportunity to meet and sometimes stay with local people or tribal groups. Our discovery tours explore cultural sites – both ancient and modern – and help you learn about the people and their culture. Visit the remote tribes of Ethiopia’s Rift Valley, live the nomad life in desert camps or meet the local people of the high Andean altiplano in Peru. There’s no better way to get to the true heart of a country than through its people.

This active trip is designed to combine a taste of traditional hilltribe life with a jungle trek. Staying in bamboo stilt-houses, home to Northern Thailand's hilltribes, we have the fantastic opportunity to experience their unique customs. Join us on river cruise and ride elephants through rice paddies. Finally we swim in the sparkling waters of a tropical island and discover vibrant Bangkok.

Great value, reasonable prices, quality experiences. Comfortable and varied tourist-class accommodations chosen for location and character. Mix of public and private transport for the best overall experience. All the top highlights included, plus plenty of time to explore on your own.

Before you decided to start a family, you backpacked and slept in hammocks by the sea. Now you want to share that spirit of adventure with the family. Keep it alive with authentic and educational trips that reflect what’s important to parents—short travel times and the safety of group travel.

Thailand Family Adventure

Why do some families go all the way to Thailand just to lie on the beach? We don’t know either. Our family adventure mixes a whole lot of bona fide Thai experiences – everything from a longboat tour of Bangkok, a meeting with a hill tribe community, a cooking class in Chiang Mai and a somber visit to the infamous bridge over the River Kwai – with a little bit of sand and surf, too. Hey, even the Buddha reclined and relaxed once in a while, right?

It's a wonderful world and there's no better way to experience its magic than by taking your family on an family adventure holiday.

Each of our family adventures has been designed to ensure that both parents and children get the most out of their holiday.

Exotic cultures, breath-taking natural environments and amazing historical treasures have never been more accessible for the whole family to enjoy.

Family Holiday in Thailand - Tropical Adventures

This action packed family holiday to Thailand includes a range of experiences sure to captivate youngsters as well as older members of the family. After a day's sightseeing amongst the temples and waterways of Bangkok, we travel by sleeper train to Chiang Mai, the gateway to Thailand's northern hill-country. Located in the northern highlands, Chiang Mai is cooler and more tranquil than Bangkok and is home to around 300 temples. The city is the centre for trekking in a region which features pristine forested valleys and a number of extraordinary hill tribes, such as the Hmong people, whose subsistence agriculture-based way of life has changed little for centuries. In our 3 days here, we will explore local markets, take a Thai cooking class, ride on elephant-back and meet the colourful local people. We will also have time to take it easy by the hotel pool. Then, transferring to the remote and beautiful district of Nan, we will trek on forest trails and spend 2 nights in village houses as guests of the local Thai people. During our day at the village, we will be able to learn a lot about the way of life of the traditional Thai farmers. At the end of the holiday, 3 nights at a beach hotel on the quintessential tropical island of Ko Samet, with access to optional activities such as sea kayaking, snorkelling etc, provides a suitably relaxing conclusion to an exciting family adventure amongst the stunning scenery and fascinating culture of Thailand.
