What people love about Thailand Tours for Young Adults
- Thai Intro 9 Day
The Thai island explorer tour is a brilliant snapshot to the gorgeous islands of Thailand. It’s bustling, busy and exhausting but in the best way. Our tour guides Love and Ella were incredible, they brought experience and energy to the tour to keep us going and supporting us in all aspects we needed in the tour. Thank you for a wonderful experience in Thailand.
- A stunning 11 day Tuk Tuk Adventure in Northern Thailand (IDP Category A required)
A trip of a lifetime!every detail & top attention from staff. So fortunate to have founder, Bruce Hexton of Tuktuk Tours aboard for our adventure Tony & Big were so attentive & fun!! Riding in Tuktuks allowed for open air excitement on the curvy mountain roads & accommodations were wonderful thanks B team for everything!
- Thailand Experience
Used the 8-day Thailand Experience as a starter for my travels to SE Asia. Overall had a great time on tour and made some amazing memories with new friends. Minnie is a terrific tour guide; informative, super helpful with any queries or problems at any time and brings great energy to the group. The experiences at Khao Sok NP and Bottle Beach were pretty amazing. Only drawback is the short stays followed by lots of travelling - though in some cases this can’t be helped. Accommodation genuinely good throughout, you just have to adjust to the differences. Would recommend as a great starter pack to inspire further travel ambitions.
