15 Day Best of Thailand trip was my first group travel tour and I’d highly recommend anyone do it with Feel Free Travel. The itinerary is packed full of unforgettable experiences, with some that I would definitely struggle to coordinate myself so probably miss out on doing if I wasn’t on this tour. It also includes some fantastic surprises along the way. It is balanced with some periods of free time - a full day when you get to Phi Phi is perfect to unwind. We had a maxed out group of 18 people ranging from 20-42 years old. Our guide, Jamie, was brilliant throughout. He handled absolutely everything and you don’t have to worry about a single thing during the entire trip. He was full of energy start to finish and inclusive of everyone. How he makes it all seem so effortless is beyond me! You’ll find yourself looking up your next group trip before you leave
Best of Thailand - Feel Free TravelI had the best time on the 12 day Thai Intro tour with Intro Travel! It was the perfect way to start my 6 month backpacking trip, seeing so many amazing places and doing lots of fun activities without any of the stress of organising it myself. Emma P was an amazing group leader who always brought the best vibes, made sure everyone felt included, and was super helpful with onward travel plans. She honestly made the trip even better and felt like a new friend too Tanya, our local guide, was also so fun and knowledgeable, helping the trip to run smoothly. I was lucky to have such a lovely group and share so many unforgettable experiences with them! So many activities are included but bear in mind that some things are not included so you will need extra cash but you can easily check on the itinerary, and of course everything is optional! I’d definitely recommend this tour whether you’re starting a longer backpacking trip or only have a couple of weeks in Thailand, and hopefully you’ll have Emma P as your tour leader! It’s a great way to meet people, make new friends, and experience so much of Thailand in a short space of time!
Thai ExperienceThe 9-day Thai Intro trip was great, wish I had of booked the full 18 days though not sure I could have kept up with the partying. Logan the guide was proper organized in the daytime and set the party vibe in the evenings or games when we weren't near any places to go out. Great way to see Thailand! Highly recommend!

Best time to visit Southern Thailand
- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn tours in South Thailand deliver a perfect mix of beach time and cultural experiences once the peak crowds fade away. Most of our top-rated trips begin with temple visits and cooking workshops in Bangkok, then venture south to discover the islands. Travelers especially love staying in floating bungalows at Khao Sok National Park, where morning mist, jungle calls and towering limestone cliffs create an unforgettable September atmosphere. Island hopping in the Andaman Sea works beautifully this season - early boats take you to Phi Phi for snorkeling and coral spotting, while afternoons are ideal for gliding through Phang Nga Bay's shaded mangroves by kayak. Small groups share sunrise hikes, learn Muay Thai basics, connect with village families through homestays and cooking and also discover hidden beaches away from the usual spots. Couples and families booking private tours can set their own rhythm around Phuket and Krabi, while solo visitors naturally find companionship during floating resort stays, shared meals and beach barbecues. These autumn departures stand out for balancing active exploration with cultural immersion, plus you'll find better room rates and more peaceful moments at secluded spots like Bottle Beach and Koh Tao's quiet coves.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
The island-hopping tours in Southern Thailand work especially well during winter. Our guests love starting in Bangkok with temple visits and cooking classes before heading south to explore the islands. You'll stay in some really special spots - from floating bungalows on Cheow Lan Lake to tree houses tucked away in Khao Sok National Park. The private tours let you set your own pace around Phuket and Phi Phi Islands, with time for canoeing through hidden caves and snorkeling in quiet bays. December through February tours fill up fast, particularly those that stop at Bottle Beach on Koh Phangan and the quieter parts of Koh Tao. The feedback we get constantly mentions how much people enjoy discovering less-visited places like the viewpoints above Phi Phi and also the night markets in Krabi.

- Spring 2027
Spring tours through Southern Thailand focus heavily on water activities and cultural experiences during the more temperate months. Our travelers appreciate the comfortable temperatures for kayaking through hidden caves near Phuket, swimming in crystal waters near Koh Tao, and also exploring the limestone formations of Phang Nga Bay. Private tours work well this time of year, giving couples and families flexibility to adjust their pace between temple visits in Bangkok and beach time on Phi Phi Islands. Group tours attract solo travelers who connect quickly over shared experiences like staying in floating bungalows at Khao Sok National Park, taking Muay Thai classes and also learning recipes in local cooking sessions. The sailing tours on luxury catamarans visit spots like James Bond Island with perfect timing, when crowds are minimal. What our customers love most is how these tours combine cultural connections through homestays, visits to local markets and also tranquil moments paddleboarding around secluded bays.

- Summer 2027
Summer tours make the most of water activities and early starts to avoid peak heat. The private tours around Phuket and Krabi let you time things just right - many guests start with sunrise snorkeling at Phi Phi Islands, then switch to shaded mangrove kayaking in Phang Nga Bay when the sun's high. Our group island-hopping tours mix in plenty of swim stops and beach time; people really enjoy the boat rides out to Koh Tao for diving and also Koh Phangan for the beach parties. More active options combine Muay Thai training with jungle walks in Khao Sok, while cultural tours include sharing home-cooked meals with families in small villages. Our travelers tell us they like having scheduled activities but also free time to explore or relax by the pool during the warm months.
