    I did the 18 day Thailand tour and had a fantastic time! The tour was so well organised, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Ella was the best group leader: from the moment I arrived she was super friendly and welcoming, she always included everyone and always made sure we were having the best time. In only 18 days we did so many amazing activities. Thank you to Intro and Ella for such a fun time and memorable experience!! I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to travel Thailand.

    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!

    Best day of my life Jun 2025 • Solo I was a bit nervous coming into the group solo traveling but Ada the group leader and Gee the local guide was so good at getting everyone involved and within no time i made so many new friends. Im currently on day 12 of 18 and i think l've said every day so far "today has been the best day of my life" ' so exited for my final week in thailand, could have only been made better if the people that booked the shorter tour was coming as well.

    Jessica

    Asked on July 28th, 2025

    We are interested in the Thai intro 18 days. We would like to better understand what the accommodations are throughout the trip as I did not see that on the website.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      Our Thai Intro 18 day is our most popular tour option and the perfect mix of culture, adventure, nightlife and chill time. It's packed full of incredible (and included) experiences like ancient temples, floating bungalows in the middle of the rainforest, island boat trips to amazing beaches, hill tribes, elephant sanctuaries, the list goes on! Plus some amazing accommodation, an instant group of friends and an awesome group leader to take care of everything.

  • B

    Bill

    Asked on July 13th, 2025

    Is the Thai Intro 18 Day suitable for me- am I too old? I like young people and am reasonably fit.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      The majority of people on our tours are aged 18 to 40, but we regularly have people in their 40's, 50's and occasionally early 60s travel with us and have an incredible time! We generally find that our Premium tours are better suited, but as long as you have an appetite for adventure and are happy bonding with people of all backgrounds, you'll fit in perfectly!

  • T

    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.

  • J

    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.

  • C

    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.

  • S

    Asked on December 9th, 2024

    How many people are currently booked for the May 14th group and is this enough for the tour to operate?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten December 2024

      Our May 14th group has currently 7 booked on the trip, this is enough for us to run the tour as of now.

    Asked on November 20th, 2024

    Is age range strict

    Age Range
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten November 2024

      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!
