Whether you’re interested in the jungles of Chiang Mai, the coastlines of Phuket or the bustling streets of Bangkok, you’re best off exploring Thailand with a private guide on one of our immersive itineraries, which you can also book as a private trip.

There’s plenty of pros for going private. Obviously it means you can keep the guest-list locked down, so you can enjoy memory-making travel experiences with only the ones you love most. It also allows for far greater flexibility on travel dates, group sizes (minimum of 4) and even age requirements. Simply get in touch with our Travel Experts to organise your personalised Culture Trip adventure.

Incredible Thailand and Laos by Train

Why stop with just Thailand? Southeast Asia is full of incredible destinations, and this epic two-week itinerary utilises rail travel to tackle Thailand and Laos in just one trip. We’ll start in Bangkok and explore the nearby ancient ruins of Sukhothai, a former Khmer city turned historical park. We’ll hop on a train to Chiang Mai for a street food and city sightseeing tour, as well as an authentic Thai cooking class. Then it’s time to hit the jungle for a night of glamping, preceded by elephant bathing, bamboo rafting and a jungle barbecue. After crossing the border into Laos we’ll go cruising down the Mekong River, trek to the spectacular Kuang Si Falls and kayak along the Nam Song River. Then it’s time to cross back into Thailand, taking the sleeper train to Bangkok, where you’ll round off your multi-country vacation with a walking tour and farewell dinner in the Thai capital.

Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam

Two countries not enough for you? How about three then! Bangkok is once again the starting point of this amazing 11-day itinerary, but we’ll end up 741km (461mi) away in Ho Chi Minh City. In the Thai capital you’ll visit three of the city’s most iconic temples on a guided tour of the city, before resting your feet as you’re whizzed around the city on a Tuk Tuk during a thrilling food tour. From there it’s across the border into Cambodia, where you’ll watch a local Phare circus show and visit Angkor Wat at sunrise. Cross into Vietnam via speedboat and continue your exploration of the Mekong with a river cruise. Use a traditional row boat to visit rural villages and discover the canals and islets of the Mekong Delta, before returning to modern civilisation in Ho Chi Minh, where a market visit, cooking class and city tour awaits.
