Overview
Experience Thailand through an engaging blend of culture, cuisine, history, wildlife, and tropical scenery as the journey moves from Bangkok and ancient Ayutthaya to Chiang Mai and the beaches of Phuket. Explore Bangkok’s magnificent temples and waterways, discover the ruins of Thailand’s former capital, experience northern traditions and local cuisine in Chiang Mai, spend time with elephants, and finish among the dramatic islands and turquoise waters of southern Thailand. Cooking experiences, markets, local food, Phang Nga Bay, and time to simply enjoy Phuket create a trip that balances discovery with relaxation.
Why This Trip
This is Thailand experienced the Kelli Gregg Travel way: thoughtfully planned, welcoming, and designed around sharing the journey with a community rather than simply checking destinations off a list. LGBTQ hosts, knowledgeable local guidance, upscale accommodations, included transfers, shared meals, and carefully chosen experiences take much of the complexity out of traveling across Thailand while still leaving room to enjoy each destination. The combination of Bangkok’s energy, Chiang Mai’s cultural depth, and Phuket’s tropical setting makes this an especially well-rounded introduction to the country, with enough variety to appeal to travelers interested in food, history, adventure, culture, or simply traveling with a great group.
