Thailand Tours Travel Tips
- Be sure to wear proper attire when visiting the sacred sites and attractions around the country. Many of the temples require proper shoes and clothing with enough coverage. You can typically purchase items near popular tourist attractions if you forget.
- Negotiate a price before the ride when traveling by tuk-tuk or ensure that the taxi cabs are using the meter. It's a common scam to change the price if a set price isn't determined.
- Street food is a vital part of Thai cuisine. Sampling dishes like Pad Thai, green curry, and Tom Yum Goong from street vendors provide an authentic taste of Thai flavors. Another must-try is Som Tam, a spicy papaya salad popular across the country.
- Songkran is the Thai New Year, held annually in April. If you're visiting one of the major cities, there are always water activities – water balloons, water guns – be careful about your valuables as you might get sprayed as part of the celebrations.
- Markets during the day are a great place to shop, but night markets are a popular pastime for locals where you'll experience a unique atmosphere.
- Thailand is known as the land of smiles, and the people are very nice. You'll come across many people that speak English, especially around major tourist areas.
- For hiking enthusiasts, Northern Thailand's mountainous terrain offers challenging trails with rewarding views. Chiang Mai, known as the gateway to the north, serves as a starting point for many treks into the surrounding hills, where visitors can encounter hill tribes and experience their unique cultures.
- Southern Thailand is famous for its stunning beaches and islands. Regions like Phuket, Krabi, and the Phi Phi Islands are renowned for their crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life, making them a favorite for those touring Thailand.
- Language plays a vital role in Thai culture, with the Thai language being central to the national identity. Festivals like Songkran (Thai New Year) and Loi Krathong (Festival of Lights) are significant cultural events that offer a glimpse into the country's traditions and often highlight Thailand escorted tours.
- Beach lovers will find Thailand's islands and coastlines a paradise. Places like Phuket, Koh Samui, and Krabi are famous for their beautiful beaches, clear waters, and excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities. Relaxing on a sun-drenched beach or engaging in water sports are quintessential parts of touring Thailand.
Thailand Tours Things To Do
- Visit the Temple of the Emerald Buddha inside the Grand Palace
The iconic Grand Palace serves as a symbol of Thailand with some of the most important buildings and temples in Bangkok. The complex once was the residence of the King and Royal government but is now open to the public to explore the various attractions housed on the palace grounds.

The golden Buddha housed in the Temple of the Golden Buddha is one of the most storied statues you'll find in the country. It went from a seemingly ordinary figure to now of the most valuable Buddha statues in the world. Temple of the Golden Buddha, or Wat Traimit, was built after rediscovering the concealed golden Buddha statues. The temple, itself, is an impressive sight with gilded rooftops and white walls, but the inside reveals stories of the historical stature.
You Should Know

It was forgotten in ruins until 200 years later when an accident during transportation revealed the gold hidden beneath the layers.

Many remaining structures show hints of the royal palace, over two dozen temples, city statues, and Buddha statues. The park includes a museum with thousands of excavated artifacts from the Sukhothai Kingdom and information about the various ruins.
You Should Know
Bike rentals are popular for exploring Sukhothai Historic Park. Rentals are available outside of the park, and cycling paths wind around the ruins. - Trip to the Elephant Sanctuary to play with elephants
Elephants roam freely within the jungles outside of Chiang Mai, where tourists can visit elephant sanctuaries to interact with the gentle giants. Several local elephant sanctuaries offer up-close engagement, including feeding, bathing, and playing. Elephant sanctuaries are a much different experience than seeing elephants in the zoo. The primary purpose of the sanctuaries is for rescuing and maintaining the elephants. The sanctuaries offer various activities for tourists and volunteers – feed them, give them a mud bath, and nurture with some fun.
You Should Know
Be sure to check reviews and information about the different elephant sanctuaries before visiting. It's best only to support sanctuaries that provide ethical treatment of the animals. - Relax on famous Thailand beaches for picturesque scenery
Thailand has some of the most picturesque beaches in the world. The iconic beaches are often featured in movies and travel photos, and the real-life experience is just as good, if not better. There are several popular beach destinations in Thailand, including Phuket, or some beautiful island destinations. Visit Phuket to experience Thailand's favorite beach destination. The scenic beaches have soft white sand and turquoise waters for enjoying a relaxing day at the beach, swimming, diving, jet-skiing, and other fun water sports.

Thailand Tour Packages
The best time to tour Thailand generally depends on the region you plan to visit. The most favorable time for Thailand tours is during the cool and dry season, from November to early April. During these months, the weather makes exploring the country's diverse landscapes and outdoor activities more comfortable.
- Cool Season – November to February
The cool season is the best time to visit Thailand. The cool season is also the dry season, so you'll experience the best ideal weather in Thailand. Average temperatures in the country are in the 80's F with little precipitation. Thailand's cool season still feels like summer with lots of sunshine. Peak travel season in Thailand coincides with the cool season, so you'll find many more people at the popular tourist sites.
- Hot Season – March to June
The hot season, from March to June, is ideal for those who enjoy sunbathing and water activities on Thailand's beaches. However, temperatures can be quite high, especially in the northern and central regions.
- Wet Season – July to October
The wet season is also referred to as monsoon season – for a few months, Thailand experiences a significant amount of rainfall. If you're traveling to the country during the wet season, you can expect daily rain for a couple of hours. It's still a good time to visit because you will avoid massive crowds. Since the rain is only temporary, you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the outdoors.
