Our all-encompassing program, designed for high school students, showcases the best parts of Thailand. Begin your trip with an enriching service project at a local school at a hill tribe in Northern Thailand. During your service work, have the opportunity to interact with the school children and form meaningful connections with the people in the community. Upon project completion, you will feel a sense of accomplishment knowing your hard work helped make a difference in the lives of the children you grew to know and love! From the hustle and bustle of the capital of Bangkok, to hill tribe villages nestled in the jungle near Chiang Mai and the picturesque white sandy beaches of Koh Phi Phi and Krabi, you’ll experience it all! Swim with sharks and dive world-class reefs in the world’s bluest waters, meet saffron-cloaked Buddhist monks, gaze in wonder at golden Buddhas and temples, and learn how to cook your own mouth-watering cuisine — all while enjoying the warm hospitality and gentle smiles of the Thai people. Please note, we do not ride elephants on any of our programs. TFT is one of the only teen tour operators to take this stance and support ethical tourism.
