SELF-GUIDED ADVENTURES IN THAILAND

A Self-Guided holiday is a very liberating adventure. World Class Adventures can design trips that let you experience a region on your own terms. You are your own guide, so you can explore at your own leisure. Chat to locals, linger over lunch, or set off an hour earlier to catch the coolest part of the day. Pause or press on, the choice is up to you: cherry-pick your stops along the way, and you set the pace.  Support comes through local suppliers, with 24-hour emergency support while you travel.

Travel through Thailand, "the Land of Smiles", and you'll see a country of contrasts. Offering plenty from the vibrancy of Bangkok to rural villages and hill tribes to the idyllic southern islands, Thailand is the sort of place you visit once and long for forever. Surround yourself with beautiful scenery, fascinating history, mouth-watering food, beaches, mountains, cities, villages, and of course the impressive people

Thailand is an idyllic paradise, where jungle-covered limestone plunge into aquamarine waters and the sand is pure white.  But no matter how clichéd the fantasy, Thailand delivers. The water around really is that deep, cool shade of blue. And the food is a highlight.  Your local Thai restaurant has nothing on Chiang Mai’s street stalls or the floating markets of Amphawa. From the waterfalls of Erawan to a homestay with the hill tribes of the Golden Triangle, these adventures go beyond the tourist traps. Buckle up.

• Paddle through the verdant rainforest of Khao Sok National Park
• Listen out for the chitter-chatter of gibbon swinging through the canopy
• Spend the night in a remote jungle
• Visit the Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai 
• Take a walking night safari in one of the oldest jungles in the world
• Soak up the almost overwhelming atmosphere in one of Bangkok's famous night markets

Whatever it is that draws you to Thailand, let me take you there.

World Class Adventures works with trusted tour operators and plans your holiday around you.

THAILAND HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

From the bustling markets and colourful tuk-tuks of Bangkok to the serene tropical paradise of Krabi and the ancient temples of the old Sukhothai Kingdom there’ so much to explore

Get away from the main tourist trail and explore the lush mangroves of Khao Sam Roi Yot. Then relax on the palm-fringed shores of white-sand beaches, overlooking the jagged limestone cliffs that jut out of the turquoise-blue waters, before camping beneath a star-lit sky.

The more adventurous can try out:

• rafting expeditions set amongst rich tropical forests, wild animals, bamboo camps,
• Scuba Diving with Whale Sharks
• Rock Climbing on islands like Railey and Ton Sai where you can find the most impressive crystal clear waters below the impressive limestone cliffs.
• Ziplining through the jungle treetops
• Waterfall Abseiling,  Jungle Trekking and some awesome Caving.

With 30 years of adventure travel experience, I select operators who suit the way you want to travel. I remain independent, so I can recommend the package that fits your needs and budget. I compare options across the market so that you don’t have to, and give you honest and impartial advice.

I plan every holiday the same way. When I request quotes, I ask for locally owned accommodation and local guides where the itinerary allows, and I follow my Animal Welfare Policy on wildlife experiences. If your holiday includes flights, a payment to Sustainable Travel International is included in the price and cannot be opted out of. You can read the Traveller’s Pledge and the rest of my approach on my Responsible Travel page.
