Adventure Tours in Thailand
Whatever you think of when you imagine Thailand, you’re probably right. Tropical paradise of turquoise waters and white sands? Check. Golden temples and orange-robed Buddhist monks? Them too. Curious monkeys and mist-shrouded peaks? Yup, even those. Adventure travel in Thailand is super-sized, and the thrills come by the dozen. Visit with elephants, trek through the jungle, climb rocks, meditate, dive among coral reefs, and sample the incredible cuisine. No matter what you choose to do in the “land of smiles,” you can bet it’ll leave you with a megawatt grin on your face.

Most Adventurous Places
Wherever you choose to go for adventure travel programs in Thailand, opportunities to explore the landscape and culture abound.
Most adventurers start off in Bangkok, the Thai capital and home to over 8 million people. This lively metropolis serves as a terrific base for all Thailand adventures; its central location ensures you’ll be able to catch a bus, train, or motorbike to any destination. Before you head out of town, be sure to check out the massive Grand Palace, grab a snack on famous Khao San road, and sample a fried grasshopper.
North of Bangkok lies Chiang Mai, a laid-back city surrounded by Buddhist temples, thick rainforests, towering mountains, and even the remnants of an ancient moat. It’s a great destination for those interested in trekking excursions, meditation retreats, and learning about Thailand’s various indigenous communities. For animal conservationists, several elephant sanctuaries in the area offer the chance to visit with these big creatures up close.
Adventurers that prefer sun and sand over mountains and waterfalls will find paradise on Thailand’s many islands. Choose to get your scuba diving certification on Koh Tao, check out coral reefs off the Similan Islands, or hike through the jungle to towering waterfalls on Koh Samui.
