Good to know
Cultural Customs
Thailand’s monarchy, royal family and Buddhism are deeply revered by the Thai people and strict customs are observed in relation to them. It is important to show respect when observing statues, temples and depictions.
Food
We'll indulge in a variety of incredible cuisines on this trip including meat, seafood and vegetarian dishes. However, it's difficult to accommodate vegan diets in Thailand.
Planning
Thailand is a remarkable adventure that requires careful planning due to its vast geography. We recommend booking at least six months in advance, or 12 months for travel during the festive season (and beach resorts require a minimum 5-night stay during this time). Please reach out early to start planning your trip.
Weather
Thailand enjoys a tropical climate, so you can expect hot and humid temperatures almost all-year round. If you dislike intense heat, we don't recommend travel during summer months, March – June.
