Asked on September 24th, 2025Just wanted to inquire if you had partners you work with to help with airline booking.
Intrepid TravelOperator•Written September 2025Our adventures do not include the cost of international airfare, which allows our travellers to join the trip from their desired location. We have a place to search flight prices and book your flights. You will need to book your own flights to the starting city of your adventure.

Asked on September 23rd, 2025We are going to be spending 7 days in northern Thailand then want to spend up to 9 days in the south of Thailand... snorkeling, hiking, kayaking. The trips Essential Thailand trips that appear most interesting say ages 18-35 (we are older than that). Do you have anything similar that is not so restricted in age range? We prefer, for example, Samai snorkeling to Phuket which seems very busy.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written September 2025
We are excited to start the planning phase with you and are happy to answer any questions. Our Thailand Beaches: Bangkok to Ko Samui would be the closest itinerary wise to our Essential Southern Thailand.

Asked on February 21st, 2025wondering if the age limit of 39 years old is strict? I am traveling with 2 friends in their 30s and I am in my 40s. Would love to do one of these tours with them but dont know if I would be allowed.

Traveler•Written February 2025Would I be turned away from the younger trip and not allowed to join? I'm super active and healthy. Seems there needs to be some trips that include 40/50 something year olds without going all the way up to 99 years old.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written March 2025
The age cut off for this trip is 35. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept anyone above this age as this trip is specifically designed for travelers who prefer to travel with others around the same age as them.

Asked on October 20th, 2024The Essential Southern Thailand tour shows as 18-35. This is what we're looking for but we're outside the age range. Can you advise us if this is possible.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written October 2024

Asked on August 6th, 2024Does this tour include the railway market and damnern saduak floating market?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2024
Since this itinerary is focused more on the beachy side of Thailand it does not include ant of the rail or floating markets. If you are info more of the markets I would suggest Northern Thailand and maybe a longer trip that also includes the beach that way you get a little bit of both.

Renee
Traveler•Written August 2024can you share some other recommendations that would include the beach, national park, Bangkok and the market?
