Eastern Thailand Tours & Trips
Think eastern Thailand is just Bangkok and beaches? Incorrect! The region offers Koh Chang's jungle-backed beaches, Koh Kood for serious relaxation, Trat's markets and fruit orchards, and the Cambodia border areas. You're experiencing less-developed Thailand, and beaches have fewer tourists than southern islands, and a more authentic culture. Eastern Thailand's less famous than Krabi or Phuket, but that’s its magic.

We had a wonderful time in Thailand. The trip was well organized. Our individual requests were also taken into account, both before the trip and during the trip (last-minute organization of an activity). The hotels were well chosen. Only in one hotel were the rooms very noisy. The children were also taken into account during the trip and the activities.

Our tour guide (Kiki) greeted us warmly and immediately ensured our comfort after a long flight. During all drives she remained engaged and offered lots of information about the area and what we were seeing. She helped us check into all hotels, tours, restaurants and even helped find some specialty souvenirs. Kiki and our driver remained by our side the entire trip and clearly explained the plan for each day. At the end of the day we were briefed on the next day. They were able to accommodate our needs and we are very happy with the our guides. The accommodations were very good even at the 3 star level. Each hotel had lots of options for food and nightlife within walking distance. Traveling with a child, each hotel and location were comfortable and family friendly. We would recommend this tour company.
