“
I went on my trip to Thailand without any expectations ! After our first
conversation and some follow-up emails,
you designed a trip that was truly spectacular ! ! My guide Mino was so passionate
about his culture,
customs,
and his country,
that he galvanized the same respect in me.The accommodations that you chose were
perfect in every way. Since I travel for a living and stay in large hotels: your
choice of boutique properties was just what I needed. ”

It is easy to visualize Thailand as endless expanses of
beautiful beaches,
lush jungleswith exotic wildlife,
and cosmopolitan cities with a vibrant culture. Thailand is all that,
and a lot more. It is an ancient Buddhist country full of gentle traditions and rituals that
evoke the nation'
s glorious past,
coexisting happily with a modern lifestyle that is a result of one of Asia'
s most prosperous economies.
Thailand is a very diverse destination and has
something for all types of explorers. You will find a unique gentle culture,
a plethora of colorful ancient monuments,
incredible scenery with thrilling soft adventure options such as time with Elephants,
one of the world'
s most celebrated cuisines,
world class beaches,
and the notorious nightlife in a few parts of places like Bangkok and Phuket.
The
Thai are justly proud to be the only nation in its region that was not subjected to European
Colonial rule during the last few centuries. This allowed their culture to develop more
indigenously and peacefully,
resulting in easygoing people with endearing hospitality and warmth.
Our Thailand

handpicking places and experiences that most tourists will never see. There is a lot of
unique relevant information on Thailandthroughout this long webpage.

On our best tours of Thailand,
you will experience gorgeous gilded Wats (temples),
incredible street food (for those so inclined),
breathtaking scenery,
colorful night markets,
and a lot more,
and you will do so with Thailand'
s best guides and support staff.
However,
the memories you will cherish are interactions,
with humans and others,
including when you look deep into the eyes of a wise Elephant. Most of our guests say that
the highlights of their exploration included the serenity of the Buddhist culture and
temples,
the plethora of picturesque natural sights,
the gracious and hospitable Thai people,
the responsible Elephant Camps,
and of course the incredible beaches of Thailand.
Nature is at its best in
Thailand. You can choose to visit national parks and swim in spectacular waterfall pools,
enjoy soft-adventure activities and elephant experiences in the lush jungles that are spread
throughout the country,
and relax or enjoy water sports and boat cruises at the incredible beach resort
destinations.
The best experiences and places for you in Thailand depends on what
you most enjoy when you explore,
and what time of the year you will be exploring. Talk to us if you would like expert
suggestions on what we would recommend based on your individual travel preferences.
-->Most American explorers start their journey in Bangkok,
a thriving city on the Chao Praya River (the River of Kings). A thrilling mix of the
ancient and the modern,
Bangkok offers more than most places on our planet,
and short excursions allow for even more fascinating experiences. Fairly short drives
can take you to enchanting floating and railway markets,
and even to the historical wonders of ancient Ayutthaya.
The next
destinations are usually on Thailand'
s North,
with the main one being Chiang Mai. A charming slow-paced city with beautiful and ornate
temples and a fascinating night market,
Chiang Mai also offers one of Thailand'
s best day excursions as a visit to Doi Inthanon.
A 3.5-hour scenic drive
north from Chiang Mai will bring you to Chiang Rai,
a sleepy town that is surrounded by some of our planet'
s prettiest country,
and is next to the once infamous Golden Triangle,
where 3 nations and two rivers meet,
and Thailand'
s two most luxurious Responsible Elephant Camps are located in the Three Country
area.
From the Chiang Rai region most explorers head south to the spectacular
beaches and coastal resort areas of Thailand. As the best tour company for Thailand,
we offer the option to add destinations such as the enchanting Kanchanaburi region with
its spectacular national parks and historical sites such as the Bridge on the River Kwai
and Hellfire Pass,
along with experiences like a slow ride on the incredibly scenic Death (Burma) Railway.
If your goal is to avoid slightly higher
temperatures and/or the monsoons,
mid-October to mid-April is the best time to visit Thailand,
but please note that the temperatures in most of Thailand'
s destinations do not vary much throughout the year as the nation is very close to the
Equator. Temperatures in the Chiang Rai area and the higher elevations near Chiang Mai can
be a little cold during winter.
In Thailand it is really a choice between
traveling in the dry season and the monsoon months. Bangkok gets most of its rain from late
June through the end of October,
but deforestation and urbanization in the Bangkok region over the last couple of decades has
reduced the intensity of rain and how long it falls for each time. The Chiang Mai and Chiang
Rai regions see longer rainy seasons,
usually between May and the end of October. Tourism and city life in Thailand are only
slightly affected during the rains and life usually goes on with only minor inconveniences.
It is the sun lovers on Thailand'
s beaches who suffer the most during the monsoons.
Southern Thailand' s coastal destinations, such as Phuket Island and the Krabi Region, temperature change throughout the year is minimal, and it is always fairly warm. The monsoon usually affects Phuket and Krabi from the end of April until early November, with September and October being the wettest. Except for these two rainy months, the showers almost never last all day and, in most years nowadays, are often brief. However, the sea is rough during the monsoons and swimming in the ocean can be very dangerous - most hotel beaches are closed. Excursions to islands are often cancelled during this period.
If you are traveling to Thailand between May and early October, we strongly recommend that you use the Koh Samui region as your beach escape. The Gulf of Thailand does not see most of the onset of the monsoon and is affected primarily by the retreating monsoon, which usually hits the region in mid-October through the end of December. There are other islands and resort areas in the gulf besides Koh Samui, but Koh Samui is the only island that offers true luxury resorts. Again, the sea is rough during the rainy period and swimming in the ocean can be very dangerous - most hotel beaches are closed.
-->Having facilitated the top-rated escorted tours of Thailand for North
American travelers for over a decade,
Easy Tours knows what makes for a truly memorable exploration. We believe that the three
most important parts of the best Thailand tours are well planned itineraries,
great guides,
and boutique luxury hotels.
We are able to offer the private tours of
Thailand for upscale explorers because we understand what our guests enjoy. Our guests
like a diverse mix of culture,
nature,
local colors,
history,
and insights into the everyday lives of the locals. Easy Tours focuses on providing such
experiences.
Because we know great food and a good night'
s sleep are an integral part of the best Thailand tours,
we offer options between gourmet regional cuisine and fine western fare. We use upgraded
rooms and suites in the best hotels in Thailand as we don'
t like small base rooms.
We feel that the most important facet of the best
tour packages in Thailand is your guide'
s passion for,
and knowledge of,
their homeland. It is human interactions that make up a discerning explorers'
fondest memories,
not how many sights,
or cities,
they visited while touring. Our guests tend to wax poetic about our colleagues,
and write many paragraphs about them in their reviews !
Passion leads to
excellence,
and our guests interact with people deeply committed to your satisfaction all through
the reservation and travel experience. This is a key reason why about 70% of our guests
are repeat and referral travelers today,
and our reviewers consistently state that we are not just the best tour operator in
Thailand,
we are unmatched in the world ! Please take a minute or two to read some of our guest
reviews. You will notice that almost all our guests,
during their exploration,
develop relationships with Easy Tours'
Tour Director Guides. We have many guests from over a decade ago that,
even today,
maintain relationships with our Thailand based colleagues.
