What people love about Thailand Tours
- Amazing Thailand In 9 Days
This tour was excellent from start to finish, and the guides were extremely helpful every step of the way. Even on our free days, they were willing to arrange us our transportation to and from whatever activity we wanted to do. What an awesome trip!
- Thai Intro 18 Day
Jess was a phenomenal tour leader. She was always available to answer any questions, and/ or research answers to the ones she did not know. She made herself a part of the group enough that we all felt comfortable. Could not imagine having had another tour leader.
Kridtapas aka Pom, was the best tour guide ever!! He was so friendly, knowlegeable, accomodating, flexible, adventurous and cool. His english was excellent. He made the tour very meaningful for us. Had we not booked the tour, we would have not seen nearly all the places that Pom took us to. The tour really packed a lot of action, adventure and exciting places into only 9 days. Thank you Pom for giving us the adventure of a lifetime!

Most popular destinations in Thailand
Northern Thailand opens up a world of genuine cultural moments, especially when you're sharing home-cooked meals with hill tribe families during local homestays. The ethical elephant sanctuaries have really changed how visitors interact with these gentle giants - instead of riding, you'll help with feeding and bathing them. Our guests particularly enjoy rolling up their sleeves in cooking classes where they learn to make proper khao soi noodles and spicy nam prik noom paste just like the locals do. The Golden Triangle, where three countries meet, gives you those big mountain views, while over in Doi Inthanon National Park you'll find Thailand's highest peak and some lovely waterfalls. The hill tribe visits feel especially meaningful during festivals like Loy Krathong and Yi Peng, when thousands of lanterns drift up into the night sky. Early morning temple visits let you watch monks go about their daily routines - it's quiet, peaceful and really shows you the heart of Buddhist culture here.
See all Northern Thailand toursOur guests tell us mixing up different experiences makes their trip special. They typically spend 2-3 days in Khao Sok National Park, staying in those floating bungalows and spotting wildlife. The Phi Phi Islands need about 4-5 days to really explore - our tip is to head out early morning or late afternoon to dodge the crowds at spots like Maya Bay. People often tell us how surprised they are by the food markets and cooking classes in Bangkok and Krabi, saying these gave them real insights into Thai life. The village homestays have left lasting impressions too, with travelers getting to experience genuine Southern Thai family life, local cooking and daily routines.
See all Southern Thailand toursChiang Mai delivers a beautiful mix of culture and nature that our visitors can't stop talking about. The hilltop Doi Suthep Temple stands out as a highlight, where detailed craftsmanship meets deep spiritual roots. Time spent with elephants at ethical sanctuaries gives our guests genuine connections - they get to feed them, help with bath time and watch these intelligent animals just being themselves in their natural space. Local Thai people make everyone feel so welcome, and when our travelers join guided walks through hill tribe villages, they get real insights into traditional life, customs and daily routines. Early temple visits are extra special before the crowds arrive, and tons of our guests tell us watching the sun come up from Doi Suthep is just magical. The city really shows its best side during cool season, with temple festivals and cultural events adding even more life to an already rich experience.
See all Chiang Mai toursEastern Thailand is home to some of the best beaches in the country. Sail on crystal clear waters, visit sacred temples, explore vibrant towns, and indulge in seafood. Whether you want to hike, cycle, or sail, eastern Thailand offers something for everyone.

What can I experience of local Thai culture and where should I go?
You'll find amazing authentic experiences all over Thailand but Chiang Mai is really special for getting hands-on with Thai cooking especially learning to make their famous Khao Soi. The Thailand Real Food Adventure takes you deep into the local food scene and you'll love discovering regional specialties. If you're interested in traditional crafts head to Krabi where the Essential Southern Thailand tour lets you try your hand at Batik making it's this beautiful fabric dyeing technique that's been around for generations. For a truly local experience you should definitely consider a homestay up in the northern hill tribes starting from Chiang Mai the Northern Thailand Hilltribes Trek takes you to villages like Ban Pha Mon and Ban Muang Pam where you'll live alongside locals learn basket weaving and see how they farm their land.
Where are the best natural areas outside the cities and how do I get to them?
Khao Sok National Park is absolutely incredible you've got to see Cheow Lan Lake while you're there. Getting there's pretty straightforward just hop on an overnight train from Bangkok then take a scenic boat ride. The park has the world's oldest evergreen rainforest and you can kayak on the lake even stay in these amazing floating bungalows the Thai Intro 9 Day tour includes all this. If you're heading south the Essential Southern Thailand tour takes you to Ang Thong Marine National Park it's this gorgeous archipelago you can reach by boat from Ko Samui perfect for swimming snorkeling and kayaking around limestone mountains and beautiful beaches.
What are some different ways to explore Thailand that most people don't know about?
There's this incredible 11-day Tuk Tuk adventure up in Northern Thailand where you actually get to drive your own Tuk Tuk it's such a unique way to see the country. You'll start and finish in Chiang Mai going through Doi Inthanon National Park Mae Sariang Mae Hong Son and Pai with experienced guides right there with you. TourRadar travelers really love how personal it feels and the scenery is just breathtaking. If you're into cycling the Cycle Southern Thailand tour is fantastic you'll ride quiet roads past limestone formations and rivers ending up on the beautiful Andaman Coast. It's great for really getting to know the area and the small group size makes it feel really special.
Which places should I visit that aren't too touristy but still really worth seeing?
Mae Sariang is this hidden gem near the Burmese border that most tourists miss it's got this wonderful mix of Thai and Burmese culture and such a peaceful vibe along the river. You can explore it on the 11-day Tuk Tuk Adventure there's time to check out local temples and try authentic street food. Another fantastic spot is Sukhothai Historical Park it's actually a UNESCO site but way quieter than Bangkok's temples. The Highlights of Thailand tour takes you there and you can bike around ancient ruins seeing incredible Buddha statues and learning about Thailand's Golden Age it's really fascinating.
What local foods should I try and where's the best place to find them?
You absolutely have to try Khao Soi when you're in Chiang Mai it's this amazing curry noodle soup with chicken or beef that's really special to Northern Thailand. The Thailand Real Food Adventure shows you all the best spots for regional dishes like this. When you're in Ayutthaya make sure to try Roti Sai Mai it's this unique dessert where they wrap thin pancakes around sweet cotton candy you can try it along with traditional boat noodles on the food tour. Down south the seafood is incredible especially in Phuket and Krabi where they use all these aromatic spices and herbs you'll find the best spots right on the beach.
