Group Solo Travel in Thailand
Travel solo as part of a group tour to Thailand
why travel solo to thailand?
Celebrated around the world for its cuisine, you’re likely to be familiar with the flavours of Thailand already. Travel to Bangkok and you’ll feel the country’s food calling out to you from market stalls selling everything from crispy fried bananas to piping hot noodles.
Built on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, your first impressions of the Thai capital may well be skyscrapers and everything done at speed, but Old Bangkok still peeks out between the cracks, in its golden temples, quiet alleyways and traditional shop fronts.
Further north, the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai retain a more provincial charm, marked by traces of the Lanna Kingdom which once ruled the north. The temples here are some of the most unique in the country: hilltop shrines guarded by giant serpents, intricate structures that could have been carved of ice and ultra-modern altars painted in cobalt blue.
Thailand’s south is most famous for its tropical beaches and epic limestone cliffs. Krabi Province, in particular, attracts adventurous types of all levels, especially rock climbers. Looking for an active solo adventure? Step right this way…

Our Thailand trips
Top places to visit in Thailand
Chiang Mai
This city in mountainous northern Thailand is home to a community of artists and digital nomads, attracted by its relaxed lifestyle and ancient architecture. Here you can sample Thai food at Kad Ton Payom market, wander through tropical gardens and get your culture fix in local galleries.
Krabi
Krabi is home to the Phi Phi islands, which jut out from the sea like giant green boulders, and the beautiful Railay Beach, a spot popular with rock climbers and only accessible by boat. In Krabi, you’ll find craggy, sheer limestone cliffs and dense mangrove forests, as well as idyllic white sandy beaches.
Bangkok
This heady capital city is abuzz with life. Explore Bangkok the way locals do, by travelling around by tuk-tuk, Skytrain or traditional riverboat. Head to the Old Town to admire the beauty of Wat Pho temple.
Khao Sok
Khao Sok’s abundant biodiversity makes it the perfect spot to explore Thailand’s natural beauty. Take a boat ride into a lush habitat of rainforests, caves and limestone islands or grab your hiking boots to see the surrounding countryside by foot.
