Adventure Tours in Chiang Mai, Thailand

I could not even begin to say enough great things about this experience. Every single person involved was passionate, educated, enthusiastic, helpful, and kind. Every moment on the trip was filled with education, fun, and unique experiences. We spent tons of time learning about the elephants in Thailand from people who are dedicated to continuing to help these animals. We also had a ton of cultural immersion with the Karen Tribe, Buddhism, and Thai culture. Every minute and dollar was worth more than I could explain. I would highly suggest this trip to anyone and everyone!

I had such an amazing experience at Thailand Scuba! This was my first GIVE trip and just like many others I talked to, I was very nervous and a bit apprehensive about flying to the other side of the world with people I had never met before. However, I could not have asked for a more meaningful trip. I had so much fun learning how to scuba dive and gained so much knowledge on the local people and ecosystems. Nice and Seth were the most awesome, funniest, and smartest guides I could have asked for. All of the fellow volunteers on my trip were amazing and many of them I will speak to for years to come. I am so grateful to GIVE for allowing me to live this experience and the amount of effort that everyone put into making this trip what it was. Truly an educational, fun, and fulfilling week spent in Thailand that will never be forgotten.

I had never traveled outside of my home country before coming to Thailand and I wasn't quite sure what to expect. this trip has broadened my perspective and opened my mind to a whole other world ready for me to explore. I will forever be grateful for the experiences, connections, and lessons on this amazing trip.

It's hard to even put into words how much this trip truly impacted me. It was hands down the best two weeks of my life I have ever lived- truly beat my unforgettable and amazing four years of college. I have been home for two weeks now and an hour does not go by without me reminiscing on all of the great moments we had together as a group in Thailand. Traveling with GIVE was the best decision I could have ever made for myself. This unforgettable experience allowed me to fully immerse myself in the Thailand culture from cooking classes to language classes to dancing with the children. I was able to make connections with the locals, guides, and other volunteers that I will hold onto forever. Everyone was genuine, kind, and there for the right reason. Teaching the children was eyeopening and so powerful. I loved going into the classroom and watching the children's faces light up when they saw us arrive. I would love to teach over seas after this experience in the future! Participating in permaculture was another big highlight for me. We only had a short amount of time and it was amazing to see how far we came. Together as a team we worked so hard and made an impact on the community. Our trip to Thailand was so personalized, organized, and wholesome. We got to travel to three of our guides home villages where they welcomed us with open arms and shared their ways of living with us. Words don't even do justice to say how amazing this trip was. Thank you GIVE for giving me this experience, changing my life in the best way possible, and for all of the people you blessed me with through this trip. Special shoutouts go out to all of the guides- P' Nick, P' Krit, P' Boca, P' Tony, P' Yanne, P' Chelsey, P' Chloe, P' Boon, P' Au!! So inspiring, impactful, wholesome, and they just enjoy living life in each moment of every day. You all are seriously the best humans I have ever met and I hope to be half of what you all are one day. I could sit here all day and type all the best things about traveling to Thailand with GIVE but I think the biggest takeaway anyone reading this should take is- book the trip!!! Traveling to Thailand was the first time I traveled out of the country- I was nervous and did not know what to expect going somewhere so far away from home with a group of strangers. My best friend and I took the leap and booked the trip and the only regret we left with was not staying longer to do the add on trips. This trip truly impacted the both of us in so many great ways and we are already starting to plan our next one!! Travel with GIVE, travel with a purpose!!!

This marine week addition ws beyond anything I ever imagined. I learned so much about myself and how I can overcome new things along with a new found love for all things conservation. Thank you, Loop Abroad!

My time in Koh Tao, Thailand has been unbelievable! From scuba diving to snorkeling, to food, to the people, I learned so much from just being engulfed in this culture. I can't wait to share my experience with others!

I loved how the team would always check to make sure you're comfortable and they work with you. I just love the energy being brought, always very positive. Also the fact they never give up on you and encourage you to keep going and try something new that may help.

I loved learning different cultures and history by visiting temples and schools. Meeting journalist, monks, and school administrators were very eye opening experiences. Karma and Cindy really put efforts for us to learn Butan and its cultures. We loved our tour guide, Kuenzang . He worked extremely hard to explain everything we asked. Not to mention providing best care possible. Our driver Senchu was excellent driver. Both of them made our trip so pleasant.

This program let me see the entirety of Thailand in two weeks and gave me the chance to do some SCUBA diving. Being able to experience Thailand and conservation efforts worldwide has been awesome. This program is just incredible and I recommend it to anyone!

These last two weeks were the best two weeks of my life. All of the conservation activities that we did, confirmed that that is something I want to do in the future. I wouldn't trade a single minute of it for the world.

This was a life-changing journey that changed my perspective and gave me once in a lifetime opportunities. Thailand is beautiful and has part of my hear and soul. I will forever be grateful to have been a part of this program.

This program was truly amazing. I learned more about conservation in two weeks than 10 years of education. All the places we went were beautiful and helped me find new paths I can potentially take for future career options.

The Wild Tropics program is so fun and an amazing experience for students. Learning how to scuba dive at the amazing Koh Tao Island is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Visiting and living with the villagers widened my perspective of the culture in Thailand. I 100% would recommend this program to any student interested in experiencing Thai culture.

If you get the opportunity to go on this trip, do it. I have learned so much about a culture I never would have otherwise. The academic portions of this trip are really interesting too. Not to mention that the locations are breathtaking!

I loved staying in the village and learning Thai culture. It was pretty difficult for me on the first day of SCUBA but the staff stayed behind with me in the pool to help me overcome my fear, they have been nothing short of amazing!

The people Loop Abroad chose for this program are amazing. Keep them here forever! This program did not just focus on vet things but also other jobs in the veterinary field, and I really appreciate that.

This journey has been truly humbling to me. I got to learn authentic Thai culture and what it is like to be a part of the culture. Visiting temples and speaking to monks all the way to hiking at the highest peak of Thailand, I would do it all over again!

Wild Tropics gave me the opportunity to emerge myself in and explore Thailand in ways I don't think would be possible traveling without Loop. I'll never forget my time here. I particularly liked staying overnight with the hill tribe.

I think everyone should go on a trip like this, I think it's important to learn about different countries and cultures. I became SCUBA certified and it really pushed me out of my comfort zone. The staff were always helpful and nice.

Loop Abroad created an amazing opportunity to have new experiences that aren't available at home. Thailand is a beautiful country with amazing people. The SCUBA diving was my favourite activity because I can't do that at home.
