Hidden Hotels and Secret Adventures
A thoroughly unique and rewarding take on Thailand. Explore in depth way beyond the typical tourist route.
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.
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.
