Frequently asked questions
Can I cruise the River Kwai in Thailand?
You sure can! We offer multi-day River Kwai cruising on many of our tours, including the 5-day Cruise River Kwai Express and the 8-day Cruise River Kwai. On some days, you can explore the region in 5-star luxury with a la carte meals, comfortable cabins, and guided excursions to famous sites, including the Bridge on the River Kwai. On other tours, such as the 10-day Ancient Thailand & River Kwai, we offer shorter boat rides on the Kwai, and even spend a night on a jungle raft on the Kwai Noi River.
What sort of transport do you use in Thailand?
In Thailand we travel mainly in private, air-conditioned vehicles with the rest of the group. Airport arrival transfers are generally included on day 1 unless otherwise specified. Depending on the tour you book, you will also enjoy multi-day Kwai River cruising, and may also spend a night on an overnight train - this is a greener and more efficient way to navigate between Thailand's big cities.
What is the quality of accommodation on these Thailand tour packages?
We use a diverse mix of accommodations on tour in Thailand. In the main cities, such as Bangkok and Chiang Mai, we make use of modern, well-located 4-5-star hotels with plenty of amenities and creature comforts. If you book one of our River Kwai cruising tours, then you will spend several nights on a 5-star cruiser. And some tours include a night aboard a floating jungle raft with ensuite bathrooms, hammocks, and no electricity—perfect for switching off from the world. On some tours, there is also a night spent aboard an air-conditioned overnight train. Although the standard of accommodation on this train will not be as good as your hotel accommodation, it will be comfortable enough and should be a fun cultural experience. Stock up on snacks and enjoy the ride through Thailand's lush countryside!
Will I have a tour guide on your Thailand trips?
You will indeed! Our Thailand tours are not fully escorted, but you will enjoy the services of an expert local guide for all of your scheduled sightseeing. And your transportation is included so you never have to worry about how to get from A to B in Thailand!
I want to avoid the monsoons in Thailand, when should I visit?
Thailand's rainy season lasts from July - October, but you can certainly still visit during this time. Rain tends to arrive in short, sharp showers lasting no more than a few hours and it turns the countryside into a vibrant green. If you did prefer to be nice and dry, then you're best to visit Thailand during the cool, dry season from November - February or the hotter season from March - May. Thailand is a great year-round destination, and it's always wise to pack for a few showers! There's more information in our guide on when to visit Thailand.
Is Thailand a safe destination for travelers from the LGBTQ+ community?
According to the 2023 LGBTQ+ Travel Safety Index, Thailand scores a C- rating for LGBTQ+ traveler safety, ranking 60th out of 203 countries. Although same-sex marriage is not legal, there are broad worker protections in place for people of all sexual orientations. 51–75% of consulted citizens consider Thailand a good place to live for gay and lesbian people. There are no legal punishments for same-sex relations, and most trips for LGBTQ+ travelers to Thailand are trouble-free. The LGBTQ+ Travel Safety Index is designed to provide a good overall picture of attitudes towards the LGBTQ+ community in each country and may not reflect the experience of foreign travelers to the country.
How big are your Thailand tour groups and what is the age of your travelers?
In Thailand, the maximum group size on our tours is 24, though the average is more like 10–15. It depends on when you are traveling, but you are sure to enjoy your experience with a small group of like-minded travelers. The average age of our passengers is around 50, but you are likely to be joined by travelers in their 20s and 30s up to their 60s, 70s, and beyond from all over the English-speaking world.
