Southern Thailand Tours for Solo Travelers
Ever thought about seeing the southern side of Thailand at your own pace? Bangkok’s Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha are still among the country’s best-known sights. Farther south, Na Muang Falls offers quiet swimming spots, while Khao Sok is covered in thick rainforest. Around Krabi, mangroves and limestone cliffs shape the coast, and the beach towns keep things relaxed.

What people love about touring Southern Thailand solo
- Ultimate Thailand in 10 Days - Ayutthaya / Khao Sok / Phuket
Great mix of locations. Khao Sok was amazing. We were sent all information needed. Including pick up times. Arriving first night a welcome message would have been nice at the hotel. All hotels were clean and tidy. Rock and Treehouse was awesome. As a couple we would have preferred to not have been located in Patong and a more central Hotel in Bangkok
- Thailand Island Hopper - Feel Free Travel
Feel Free is the best! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Feel Free. Jamie and Jonny were top of the line group leaders and helped create a group culture that built lasting friendships. The places we explored in Thailand and excursions we took part in have quickly become some of my favorite memories and I’m so thankful I chose to travel with Feel Free! I love my group and hope to be back so soon! -Sam
- Thailand Culture and Beach Tour 9-Day
Thailand!!! We had a lovely trip to Thailand. he hotels were nice, the guides very nice persons and the drivers on the trips were good. All went well and I hereby recommend Legend Travel Group to others.
