If you'd like to take a tour of Thailand but don't want to travel with a group of strangers, then perhaps a Thailand private tour is the solution for you. We offer a range of private itineraries, taking in all the highlights. From Bangkok, you can head north to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, or south to Khao Sok and Phuket. Or you can combine Thailand with a mammoth private journey, taking in the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.

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.
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.
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!
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!
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.

Along the way, you are likely to see the notorious Rafflesia flower, the largest flower in the world.
