Experience Overview
Why do some families go all the way to Thailand just to lie on the beach? We don’t know either. Our family adventure mixes a whole lot of bona fide Thai experiences – everything from a longboat tour of Bangkok, a meeting with a hill tribe community, a cooking class in Chiang Mai and a sombre visit to the infamous bridge over the River Kwai – with a little bit of sand and surf, too. Hey, even the Buddha reclined and relaxed once in a while, right?
Highlights
- Get caught up in the bustle of Bangkok
- Take in the scenery at ancient Ayutthaya
- Wander through colourful Chiang Mai
- Relax on the beach in Phuket

I feel that a tour like this offers people an opportunity to do things they may not organize on their own, such as the Earwan Waterfall or many of the temples that we visited. It was safe, clean, well organized and allowed us to not have to make any decisions which is a luxury in our lives.

Because it was the right amount of culture and experience for our family and our guide did such an excellent job of organizing activities, meals, travel arrangements and she went above and beyond what she had to do when we decided to stay longer at the resort at the end of our trip. Her knowledge of and pride in the destinations we visited made it that much better. We wouldn't hesitate to do another G Adventures

Wan, our CEO was amazing and so helpful and informative. We learned and did way more than we would have if we were travelling alone. The tour allowed us to see so much in a short time. We had a very memorable holiday.
