Thailand holidays

Setting foot in Bangkok for the first time can be overwhelming. The bright lights, the constant offers of rides from tuk tuk drivers, the frantic haggling in the markets, all make our escorted tours, led by locals, the smartest way to explore the best things to see and do in Bangkok. These brilliant guides give vivid new dimensions to the Thai capital, helping you negotiate fair prices for the essential tuk tuk rides, advising you on what to order at street food stands, and if you’re still stiff from the flight, show you the best place for a traditional Thai massage.

Thailand is one of the easiest, most exciting countries in Southeast Asia to travel with kids. You’ll find affordable flights, great weather and welcoming people, not to mention a mix of accommodations to suit every budget. Our Thailand family holidays typically stick to the less sweltering highlands of the north or the beach resorts of the beautiful islands in the south. In the company of engaging and attentive local guides, kids will love wandering (and tasting) their way around night markets, exploring easy-going cycling routes, and visiting ethical elephant sanctuaries. Chiang Mai meanwhile is a fantastic base for families with older kids wanting to get active.

Escape the well-worn backpacker trail with our Thailand adventure holidays ranging from wilderness hikes and culturally enriching homestays in rural communities to river rafting and epic overland trips. For those who prefer to leave behind the logistics, our small group holidays let you relax and enjoy the ride with a ready-made friendship group and brilliant local guides. They’re definitely a good option for multi-country trips. And if you’d like to mix up your itinerary, perhaps adding a cookery class in Chiang Mai or a few days on the beach after a week of trekking in the highlands, our tailor made holidays give you that flexibility.
