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!

My Thailand Experience tour was truly the trip of a lifetime. We were able to visit some of the most unique areas in Thailand and see what this beautiful country has to offer. Our trip leader Ming went above and beyond to make sure everyone had the best time and got the most out of every experience. She is very insightful, kind and funny- I am so happy to have had her as my guide. I can’t wait to return for another tour with Ming in the future!
