Program Overview

This 10-day program is open to Loop Abroad alumni (students and staff) and their partners, family, and friends. We are so excited to show you our favorite people, places, foods, and activities in Chiang Mai, Thailand. We first offered this trip for our 15th anniversary, and it was such a hit that we’re doing it again! We offer this trip at a VERY discounted price, hoping it can be accessible for most people.

You can stay and travel on your own after, or skip activities and do your own thing (at your own expense). You will still need to fill out enrollment forms, including the medical form that needs to be signed by a doctor. This program is for alumni of Loop Abroad or CELA Belize programs (in-person or virtual, students or staff, any location). Alumni enrolling in this trip may also bring their partner, friends, or family members.

Please note that many activities are outdoors, in hot weather, and require participants to be able to walk moderate distances on their own. Some activities may not be accessible to young children. If you have questions about particular activities for your family, please ask!

Caring, professional and fun

Loop Abroad is amazing. I traveled with them for the first time in 2016 and had an incredible time. It was no question when the alumni trip was proposed. The Loop staff are caring, professional, and so much fun.

Maria BartonJune 2024

Amazing experience

An amazing experience for someone that thought they would never get an opportunity to go to another country. I was able to bond with my daughter more and learn so much about Thailand. Food-culture-experience = amazing!

Ariana HamiltonJune 2024

Loved learning about Thailand

It was so amazing to meet a new group of people and learn about a whole new country! Many of the educational opportunities were very eye-opening and I loved to learn about Thai culture and the environment.

Fifth trip with Loop, still exceeded

The Loop Abroad Alumni Trip far exceeded my expectations (and this was my fifth trip with Loop Abroad!) Not only did I get to share an amazing experience with my loved one, but I also met amazing people that I hope will now be my friends for life. Loop Abroad never disappoints!

Aleeza MichaelJune 2024

Would recommend to anybody

I enjoyed all of the various restaurants and food scenes as well as all of the coffee shops. Learning about the Thai culture was absolutely amazing. The whole group was awesome. I would recommend to anybody looking for a guided trip to Thailand.

First time leaving, not last

This was my first time traveling abroad and it was an amazing experience from all the adventures to the food and our guides. All of our guides are so great! The Loop Abroad staff made my trip fun and kept me feeling safe.

Lauren RoyJune 2024

Trip of a lifetime

I had an amazing time with Loop Abroad. This was my first time leaving the USA. I was a bit nervous, but the friendly and helpful staff made me feel safe and at home. It will be the trip of a lifetime for me.

Philippa DeckerJune 2024

Amazing from start to finish

This adventure has been truly amazing from start to finish. The staff were incredible and herded our group of cats seamlessly from activity to activity. The memories I made with my wife and daughter are priceless.

Cecily RiggsJune 2024

Absolutely unforgettable experience

An absolutely unforgettable experience. It's so amazing to learn all about the culture and be a part of the culture. I also love being able to make new friends and forge connections that will last a lifetime.

Stella GilbertJune 2024

Had a blast and loved everyone

All of us alumni felt very special and loved in Thailand. We had a blast and I loved everyone I met. The art museum should definitely be part of all of the students' itineraries. The Thai staff are the absolute best!

Alesha HarperJune 2024

Felt very safe

All of the staff, guides, and other travelers here were very kind. I felt very safe in the city which is something that is very important to me. My favorite part of the trip was the art museum. It was so much fun!

Lana BellJune 2024

Lets you soak up the culture

I love being able to come back to Thailand after my original program. It has become my second home and the place where my heart lives. Loop Abroad does such a good job at putting programming together that lets you soak up the culture.

Jane KiddJune 2024

Exceeded my expectations

This trip to Thailand has exceeded my thoughts and anticipations!! The mixture of culture, animals, adventure, and learning was an unexpected joy. The staff became friends quickly and our group bonded in a manner that impacted me deeply. Much appreciation.

Veronica JacobsonJune 2024

Hit it out of the park

Loop Abroad hit it out of the park (again!) with this alumni trip. We had the best time and everyone from the staff to the alumnis' family/friends were amazing. We made lifelong memories and had another unforgettable trip. I'm so happy I had this opportunity to join a program again.

Kelsie MendozaJune 2024

Planned wonderfully

This was such an amazing trip with great people from all over. All the guides were awesome and such nice and helpful people. The program was planned wonderfully and all the activities were a load of fun.

Denise BonillaJune 2024

Better than expected

I had been hearing about Thailand and Elephant Nature Park for years (because my wife had been previously.) I had high expectations, but this trip was better than anythying I could have expected. The trip leaders were amazing and we made friends from around the world. Best trip ever!

Florence HudsonJune 2024

Best program ever

Loop Abroad is the best program ever. This group has allowed me to have a one-of-a-kind experience that's so memorable. The staff and group leaders are so kind, helpful, and fun. The itinerary was excellent. Loop Abroad will always have a special place in my heart.

Rebekah HebertJune 2024

Can do it over and over

I loved meeting new people and growing our family one trip at a time. Every year I get to meet new and wonderful people. It warms my heart like nothing else. A trip you can do over and over again. You definitely should, too.

Iqra WarnerJune 2024

Helped me expand my horizons

Thailand helped me expand my horizons in food beyond what I thought I could eat and I love it. The Elephant Nature Park and Sticky Waterfalls were my favorite places to visit. I can't wait for my next Loop program!

Christina BowersJune 2024

You have to experience it yourself

This alumni trip bas been such an amazing experience. I highly recommend Loop Abroad and the Thailand programs to everyone I meet that is considering studying abroad. Thailand and this trip have had an impact on me and my life in ways I can't explain. You'd have to experience it for yourself to understand.
