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!

Fantastic island hopping tour with Smile :)
Smile was an amazing guide! He was kind on messages before we even met up and happy to help everyone before they got there. He is a friendly person and made us all feel happy and comfortable. Very approachable if we had any issues. Helped anyone with medical issues instantly with cleaning wounds / sprains / stomach problems. He was always on time and informed us of the next couple of days plans so we knew what was going on. Always put in a message too to refer back to. Explained things well that…

I have had an incredible experience
. Smile was an incredible guide, I’m so pleased to have had him leading my first experience in Asia. I’d say smile was the perfect blend of fun and professional, he was always up for a laugh (cheeky in the best way!) but I had complete faith that he would handle whatever was thrown his way. He was so attentive and compassionate. For future travellers, you couldn’t be in better hands. Within his career, I hope that he receives opportunities to progress, they would be well deserved. Thank yo…

A must do adventure!
I’m so glad that I chose to do this tour! I’ve met so many lovely people and seen the most gorgeous places. Smile has been a fantastic tour guide throughout our 2 week tour I don’t think any of us could’ve asked for a more entertaining, funny, informative, patient and friendly tour guide. He has made sure that everyone is included in all activities and that everyone feels safe and comfortable to talk to him whenever they need. He has always made it clear that we can approach him whenever…

Thailand tour with Smile
Smile was absolutely amazing! Could not have asked for a better guide who has become a friend to us all. He was professional and informative from start to finish and also made sure we were all safe and having a good time. I did not have any issues but feel confident that I could have gone to smile with anything and he would have helped best he could. The full experience was incredible and I feel like we managed to go to so many places and do lots of activities in the time of the tour. I would de…
