With nearly 40 million foreign visitors per year, Thailand is very much on the beaten path, especially for package tourists. At the same time, it is a deeply spiritual country, with 94% of Thais actively practising Buddhism, and beyond the tourist hotspots it retains a cultural integrity, rich heritage and peaceful atmosphere that draws people back time after time.

While you won’t want to miss out on the stunning beaches, crystal-clear seas and great value hotels for which Thailand is justifiably famous, with the help of our insider knowledge you can discover another side to the 'Land of Smiles'. One of sleepy fishing villages, lush forests and rice fields, intricate temples and world-famous cuisine, all tied together with Thais’ traditionally fun-loving and warm hospitality.

Hear From Our Thailand Travellers

“It was worth paying the extra to have it all so well organised and allowing us to see a lot of Thailand in a short period”

Carol and family, Thailand, August 2025

“Guides both excellent, enthusiastic and very sympathetic and helpful when we hit issues with our son. The drivers were also very good, friendly and safe”

Jonathan and family, Thailand, July 2025

“Really well organised. We don’t usually book holidays like this, instead organising them ourselves but having been to Thailand before on honeymoon, my husband and I wanted to do it differently… We also wanted the kids to see Thailand from a cultural perspective rather than staying by a pool for 2 weeks. Having guides was a massive help and I would definitely do that again”

Meera and family, Thailand, July 2025
