Thailand itineraries

These are individual holidays which we've created by combining several of our Thailand adventure tours (modules). Each Thailand itinerary offers a truly unique and rewarding Thailand adventure. These trips are a mixture of individual and small group travel, providing a balance between personal and social experience. We are careful to select attractive and centrally located accommodation that reflects the character of the area.

If you would like to choose a Thailand itinerary but add a few tweaks of your own, simply request a quote. We can play around with your Travel Plan until we get it just right. If you would like to go ahead and book one of our Thailand itineraries, go straight to the booking form.

The price quoted for each Thailand itinerary excludes international flights, although we can arrange these for you. Prices are valid till 30th October 2010, but supplements can apply over Christmas and the high season.

Are you travelling to Thailand for its exotic nature and to enjoy the sun, sea and the beach? Well, this is by far our most popular Thailand itinerary, taking you on a whirlwind tour through Southern Thailand in just under a fortnight. After a few days in the oriental city of Bangkok, you’ll plunge into the dense Thai jungle of Khao Sok. You'll spend the night in a floating bamboo hut on a glistening lake and during the day you'll hike in the shade of towering trees. Then relax for a few days on a tiny island in the magical Phang Nga Bay. The stilted house you'll stay at is just a few steps away from a hammock on a deserted beach. From here you'll escape to a small, idyllic bay surrounded by steep limestone cliffs. Picture postcard Thailand at its very best. A lovely swimming pool and this stunning environment make this a perfect final stop on your Thailand itinerary. This is Thailand as you've always imagined it would be: fun, atmospheric, charming and laidback. You'll fly back home via Bangkok. Tip: If you are planning to travel in September or October, we would recommend ending this holiday on the east coast in the Golf of Thailand on the island of Ko Tao instead, giving you more chance of sunshine.
