    It was a brilliant trip. The tour guide couldn’t have been more knowledgeable, helpful and energetic. The itinerary was provided at the beginning of the trip and the tour guide also reminded us of the plans for each day ensuring that we were fully prepared and organised. Felt very safe during the duration of the trip. Would highly recommend!

    I was on the nine-day trip and saw a lot of things. I liked the temples the most in Bangkok. Koh Sok National Park was an absolute highlight. But of course, Koh Pangan was a lot of fun. We went to various beaches and made the most of our time. The group was great. We bonded immediately and had a lot of fun. It's a shame I couldn't stay longer.

    The itinerary has a good balance between activities and free time! The travel days were a bit long, but there’s really nothing anyone can do about that! My guide Tam was just amazing. She knew how to involve everyone and make time just to have chats with us! As an introvert I found it hard at first to get involved with the conversation but Tam was always trying to get me involved in them. She knew every question asked , very informative. Every place we arrived she made sure to post lists of activities and food places for us to try or do during our free time which was very nice when you’re stressing about what to do or where to eat, because there’s so many choices. Organization was very well, we swiftly got our room keys, always knew what activities we had for the day. overall a great experience.

    Taylor

    Asked on June 19th, 2025

    We are looking at the Thai intro 18-day tour. We are 4 healthy adults from 55 to 60 years old. We did a Trafalgar tour last year in Italy with an older group and it was too large and to many older people that were not as agile as we are. We want something that is more suited to our active lifestyle. Based on the reviews we think we would be a good fit for your tour.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten June 2025

      The majority of people on our tours are in their 20s and 30s, but we regularly have people in their 40's and 50's travel with us and have an incredible time! We generally find that our Premium tours are well suited to those in their 50's, and our Thai Experience tour tends to attract a slightly older demographic than our Thai Intro tour. But as long as you have an appetite for adventure and are happy bonding with people of all backgrounds, we'd love you to join us on either tour.

    Joyce

    Asked on May 27th, 2025

    I am looking at the Thai Introl 18 day trip and wanted to know if there are any options for hotel upgrades or any other excursions that we may be able to book while on the trip.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten May 2025

      There are no upgrade options available for the hotels on this trip as all accommodations are pre-set. However, if you're looking for upgraded accommodation, our Thai Experience trip is our premium option which includes upgraded accommodation. All of the activities listed on the itinerary are included in the price of the trip. You'll also have some free time throughout the tour to relax, explore on your own, or take part in optional activities.

    Cornelia

    Asked on March 14th, 2025

    If I join the May 14th group, how many people will be there?

    Group size
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten March 2025

      If you join this group there will be 8, we expect more bookings to come still for this group.

  • R

    Roger

    Asked on January 27th, 2025

    Could we add one more night to Kao Sok and take one night away from Koh Phangan?

    Tour Details
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      Unfortunately we cannot amend the itinerary to do this. We spend two days in the Khao Sok area on our Thai Experience 13 day trip. On our 18 day trip, we spend just 1 night on the floating bungalows - it's amazing!

  • J

    Jordan

    Asked on January 19th, 2025

    Are all the activities in "additional services" included in the price? If we have 5 people, are we able to have 2 people in one room and 3 people in the other room?

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      All the exciting activities in the itinerary are included in the price, with no hidden fees. Most of our rooms are twin or double, but we can sometimes arrange a triple room depending on availability and location.

      Our tours are for over 18's only. The majority of people on our tours are aged 18 to 39, but we regularly have people in their 40's and 50's travel with us and have an incredible time! As long as you have an appetite for adventure and are happy bonding with people of all backgrounds, you'll fit in perfectly!

    Dennis

    Asked on October 30th, 2024

    Is the tour scheduled for November 11 guaranteed to depart?

    Tour Details
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten October 2024

      Currently the 9th and 11th are fully booked, but we may be able to take over the capacity on the 11th, and there is 1 space available on the 7th. As the start date is soon we need to check availability with the hotels before we can confirm.

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten November 2024

      Can you confirm your gender, as we are unable to confirm without knowing how the rooms will be allocated?

    Asked on August 22nd, 2024

    i have a couple of questions about this tour. 1. the moon party that's held on December 13, would we be able to attend? 2, is there a tour on our free time with more animal (baby tigers)?

    Other
    Tour Details
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten August 2024

      The Full Moon falls on the 15th December and the Full Moon party is in Koh Phangan, if you choose to join us on the 4th December, you will be in Koh Phi Phi at this point. However, whilst you are in Koh Phangan, there are still parties that are held on the same beach where the Full Moon party is which you will be able to attend. As the health and wellbeing of animals is extremely important to us, we do not visit anywhere on the trip that you can visit tigers. We only visit wildlife sanctuaries and rescue centres operating with the highest animal welfare and conservation standards.

      TravelerWritten August 2024

      I'm actually celebrating my 35 birthday. I was thinking between 14-18 days. I was reading into the full moon party and really want to experience it. I'm still trying to figure out which tour would be best for me. I would love a mix of everything Thailand can offer.

    • J

      Jorge

      TravelerWritten August 2024

      I just have to be back to USA by December 22. So which trip would allow me to be at the full moon party

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten August 2024

      If you were to join us on the Thai Experience trip starting on the 9th December, you would be in Koh Phangan for the Full Moon Party. Your trip would then finish in Phuket on the 21st December. As there are no activities planned on this day, you would be able to fly back home on this day. We do only have 3 spots left on this start date, so if you are keen to join us, I would recommend securing your spot ASAP!

    • J

      Jorge

      TravelerWritten September 2024

      And other question would my mom be able to join the tour. She's over the age limit but is very fit and mobile.

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten September 2024

      We can take group members up until 60, if she is under 60 then she can definitely join along!

    • J

      Jorge

      TravelerWritten September 2024

      oo no she just turn 62 and would love to join the trip

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten September 2024

      The majority of people on our tours are aged 18 to 40, and our full moon party trips tend to attract a slightly younger, party minded crowd too. But as long as she is comfortable with that, and has an appetite for adventure and is happy bonding with people of all backgrounds, I'm sure she'll fit in fine on our Thai Experience trip!

    • J

      Jorge

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      how much is it?

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten October 2024

      The standard price for our Thai Experience trip is $1799 USD.

    • J

      Jorge

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      thats prefect. how many spots are left? also on the link it says it cost $1899

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten October 2024

      Sorry my apologies! The standard price of our Thai Experience trip is $1799 however, we do have departure based pricing and depending on the popularity of the start date, the price can fluctuate slightly. Due to the popularity of this start date, the price has increased to $1899. We do only have 4 spots remaining, so if you are keen to join us on this start date, I would recommend booking your spot ASAP!
