Thailand is packed to the brim with pristine beaches, dense jungle trails, well-preserved ancient Buddhist ruins and wildlife sanctuaries like nowhere else. And the perfect way to explore these marvels is through our Thailand explorer tours. On an explorer tour of Thailand, you can soak up the sun at the Railay beach in Krabi or the Thong Nai Pan Noi beach in Koh Phangan, immerse yourself in the beauty of Khao Yai National Park and explore the ruins of the old city of Ayutthaya at the Ayutthaya Historical Park. If you are looking to explore the waters, river cruise tours like the boat rides in Chao Phraya in Bangkok lend a unique view to the cities. During your Thailand explorer tour, don’t forget to shop to your heart’s content at Chiang Mai and Rod Fai night markets and tantalize your taste buds with som tam and mango sticky rice at the food market in Petchkasem Road, Hua Hin.

“Trip was fast paced with some varied experiences. More accurate dress information prior to attending temples would have been useful but pre holiday research could have found that out anyway. Another day in chiang mai would have been good as elephant trip was practically a full day and the optional tours limited opportunity to explore. Great trip... Although I am templed out now! ”
