Adventure Travel in Bangkok, Thailand

There’s only one problem during adventure abroad in Bangkok: deciding what to do! And this is not due to a shortage of options. With so much to choose from, you’ll need to make some hard choices before arriving. To begin sifting through the choices, check out the most popular types of adventure travel in Bangkok:

Many adventure seekers are called to Bangkok to explore the seas, spend days underwater, and learn about the region’s unique marine life. Whether you’re a veteran diver or just a beginner, there are as many adventures in Bangkok as there are fish in the sea. Many adventure programs in Bangkok offer scuba lessons or certifications, but you can also opt for snorkeling or sea kayaking. Whatever floats your boat.

For the landlubbers, opportunities for hiking and trekking are plentiful. National Parks are located all over the country and guided tours are usually your best bet for wildlife viewing. For all you trailblazers, more trekking programs and “off-the-beaten-path” routes are available too. To really get your adrenaline going, tie in and try your hand (and feet!) at some serious rock climbing. And despite the wise words of TLC, this is the time to go chasing waterfalls.

Best Trip Ever!

My Adventure Tour to Thailand was filled with some of the richest and best memories I will ever make. I got to meet so many amazing people, both locals and friends I made on the tour. When I try and decide a favorite part, it's always impossible. From the time at the school, volunteer work with the elephants, visiting the temples, exploration of the islands, and so much more, each time a moment of the trip pops into my head, it brings a smile to my face. TFT staff did an exceptional job organizing the itinerary and engaging with the students, helping to create a fulfilling trip that will no doubt stay with me forever.

The trip of a lifetime!

Going into this trip I was so nervous and had little idea of what to expect, but it truly was the best two months of my life! I’ve come away with the most wonderful memories, experiences and friends for life, I’d go back and do it all again tomorrow. The day trips, volunteering, and cultural experiences were really second to none and fulfilled everything anyone would hope to do when travelling to South East Asia- it’s a really great way to see that part of the world without the added stress of organising and planning everything yourself. Our guide, Stefan, was great with leading us around for the eight weeks, making us feel safe but still independent to do our own thing, no activities were ever forced or expected of us. Overall this trip has the perfect balance of experiences, culture, adventure, relaxing and fun. I’d recommend it to anyone and can’t thank Stefan and Gapforce enough!
