Thailand Gap Year Tours

Where better to start a gap year?

Looking for gap year inspiration? Want to explore the world before you fly the nest? Come with us to some epic destinations where you'll learn about yourself, other cultures and so much more!

 

Thailand is a backpacker's paradise for a reason. It's a must-visit destination in Southeast Asia because it offers fantastic food, a wide range of activities and incredible weather. Thailand is a place where you can have it all – from interacting with elephants, ziplining through the jungles of Chiang Mai, spending a night in a floating bungalow at Khao Sok National Park, to enjoying lively nights on the beaches of Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, and Koh Phi Phi. This is a country you absolutely shouldn't miss on your gap year bucket list.

 

We provide a variety of tours, so whether you're looking for a brief introduction to Thailand, a longer exploration of the country, or something in between, we have the perfect tour to suit your preferences and time scale!

Tour was absolutely incredible. The locations chosen, the activities included, and the itineraries were so great. However, it was our tour guide Peanut who really made this tour. He was absolutely incredible from start to finish. He is so knowledgeable about the country and culture, and so skilled at his job. Peanut made every single moment so joyful, memorable, and relaxing as possible. Nothing was too much for Peanut and he helped us to make sure we had the absolute best time on this tour, no…

Tour guide
Out tour guide Milin has genuinely been the best tour guide I could have asked for on this trip. From start to finish, she made the entire experience so fun, effortless, and memorable. Her energy, organisation, and knowledge are incredible, and it’s clear she truly cares about what she does.What stood out the most is how supportive she was beyond just being a guide. We had a bit of a challenging situation within the group at one point, and Milin handled it with such professionalism, calmness…
