Is this the only tour you are running in February 2027 in Thailand as we are looking for a 8 to 11 day tour that includes Elephant sanctuary.

We have two trips I would recommend for you: Explore Northern Thailand - 8 days - visits Sappraiwan Elephant Sanctuary in Phitsanulok Highlights of Thailand - 10 days - visits ChangChill Elephant Sanctuary in Chiang Mai Both have multiple available departures for February 2027.

my friend and I are planning a Thailand trip. The complication is I'm flying from the UK and she from Australia. I'm not keen on internal flights so does this trip have these. We are fit ladies of a certain age and would like a mixture of culture / scenery and beaches.

Our Thailand Beaches trip does not include any internal flights, the transportation that we use throughout the trip will consist of Overnight sleeper train, Private minivan, Taxi, Speed boat, and Songtheaw. If you are looking for a mixture of culture, and beaches this is a great itinerary as if really focuses on local communities and villages while also allowing time to take in the beautiful scenery and enjoy the beaches.

  Traveler•Written September 2026
  It shows both of these trips as sold out in February 2027 so I am unable to book them
  Explore Northern Thailand - February 7th - sold out - only shows 1 trip.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written September 2026
  I can see neither of them showing dates. This would be incorrect though - let me follow up with TourRadar to see if they can adjust to show the dates we have available.

  Is this one available Cambodia Real Food Adventure in February
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written September 2026
  Yes, the Cambodia Real Food Adventure has a departure February 11th - 18th 2027 that is available. These are live for booking on our website directly, it just seems we are having a syncing issue with the dates on TourRadar but working with them right now to look at fixing this as soon as possible.
