Thailand group tours for solo travelers

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 flavors 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…
