Independent Thailand travel - Elephant tours

Independent Thailand travel at your own pace

We think that Thailand has something for everyone. It is a sun drenched country packed with colour, culture, wildlife and scenery. From the moment you arrive, you'll know why Thailand is called the 'Land of Smiles'. Tuk-tuk drivers pass by with friendly grins, street traders peddle weird and wonderful wares, and the air is thick with inviting aromas. The Thai people radiate warmth and humour, making you feel instantly welcome.

Thailand is the perfect place to spend lazy days on idyllic island paradises surrounded by white beaches and azure seas. If you want to combine the beach with something more active, there are plenty of independent Thailand travel options. You can trek amongst the colourful mountain tribes in the north, visit rainforests alive with monkeys and wild elephants, and explore the exotic marine life.

What does Thailand Travel Plan offer ?

Thailand Travel Plan offers you the opportunity to put together your own unique trip by giving you a wide choice of building blocks (Thailand modules). These are bite-sized travel experiences usually lasting between two and three days each. Choose from 20 different modules which include classic highlights such as hill tribe jungle treks, hidden beach paradises and fantastic national parks to add to your independent Thailand travel plan. We have also come up with some more unusual options such as a different take on the River Kwai area, a homestay in the Thai countryside, and even a cycling trip in Bangkok.

If you want to organise something before you arrive, but don't want to book a group tour, we offer the perfect solution. You can put together an action packed trip or something more laid back, it's completely up to you - arrange as little or as much as you like of your independent Thailand Travel Plan.

We also offer a number of suggested itineraries. These consist of several modules that we have strung together in a logical order to create longer itineraries. To ensure that your trip runs smoothly, we can make the necessary transport reservations on trains, planes, buses and ferries.
