Thailand tours & holidays

It’s impossible to summarise Thailand holidays in just one word, but the country's nickname, ‘The Land of Smiles’, is a pretty accurate indicator of the feeling you get when you’re there – and it’s that feeling that will stay with you long after your trip is over.

It’s soft white sand between your toes and warm aqua sea lapping at the shore. It’s soaring skyscrapers and peaceful temples. Rural rice paddies. Charmingly chaotic long-tail boat rides. Jungle-topped islands. And it’s all tossed together and served with a side of fried rice.

Our Thailand tour is part of a longer trip around Southeast Asia, giving you the chance to combine Thailand's charms with time in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. We'll explore bustling Bangkok, where ‘hectic’ just about scratches the surface, touring the impressive Grand Palace and taking to the river for a dinner cruise. We'll also visit the infamous ‘Death Railway’ and bridge over the River Kwai, and learn about Thai culture at an organic village.

“Thailand is still one of my favourite destinations to date. This friendly country is something special and you feel its welcoming warmth from the moment you arrive. It’s a country that has it all –bustling cities, tranquil nature, a deep and immersive culture, and beautiful beaches.”

- Cassie Stickland, Product Manager
