Known globally as the land of smiles, Thailand’s alluring mix of paradise beaches, delectable cuisine and laid-back culture has charmed visitors for decades now. With so much to see and do in this vast and varied land, it’s important to plan a trip carefully to avoid areas that are prone to crowding. But with insider knowledge, you can venture an inch off the map to discover why Thailand keeps even seasoned explorers hooked for life.

THAILAND WITH ETG

THAILAND <span class="indend">WITH ETG</span>

Much more than Bangkok and sunburnt farangs (the Thai term for Western tourists, which translates to ‘guava’), modern Thailand is boundlessly captivating and diverse. You’ll not want to miss out on the irresistible beaches and hotels for which the country is rightly renowned. However, we suggest that curious travellers always delve a little deeper too. Rural lodges, remote mountains and small, community-run tourism ventures can reveal a side to Thailand that most travellers don't know exists.

We at Experience Travel Group have had a firm foothold in Thailand since its earliest days and excel in searching out the hidden gems. Talk to us about how we can challenge your perceptions of this exceptional country. 

Popular holidays in Thailand

Whether you are looking for laid back beach holidays or more adventurous itineraries that explore Thailand’s vastly diverse natural and cultural landscape, we can plan the perfect Thailand holiday for you. Whilst islands like Koh Phangan and Koh Samui have become internationally famous for their myriad charms, there are many alternatives to consider when seeking that perfect beach getaway. Though each of our Thailand holidays is crafted from scratch for the individual traveller, you can take a look at our sample luxury Thailand holidays and off-the-beaten-track rural adventures for inspiration.

Despite the fact that Thailand is a huge country, the majority of visitors continue to flock to the same handful of places; it’s as if all the visitors to France decided to stick to Paris and St Tropez! We are passionate about tackling the problems of over-tourism, not only because we want our trips to impact positively on the local economy, culture and environment, but because we believe that you’ll have a more enriching and enjoyable experience in Thailand if you do something a little bit different.

To ensure a trip to Thailand really hits the spot it is important to choose the right flights, hotels and local experiences. Our Travel Team work tirelessly to ensure this is the case and offer the most immersive, relaxing and varied Thailand holidays possible.

Thai beaches really are as extraordinary as they say - and we know where to find coastal hideaways away from the crowds.

Head just a short drive outside the city of Chiang Rai and you'll discover a rising, jungle-clad hills.
