Thailand Gap Year


Thailand is one of the worlds most popular gap year destinations and with good reason. Obviously there are the gorgeous beaches and islands to explore (including the Full Moon parties) but you already knew that. There is so much more though, the vibrant cities, the jungles and wildlife of he north, the street food, the culture and the people.

What better way to start your adventure than a group tour with like minded people from all over the world who are your age and also embarking on their gap year.

Please check out the adventures we have and make contact! We're a friendly bunch and we'd love to help chat through your options.

Hassle-free adventures

Our aim is to make it as easy and enjoyable as possible to experience unique trips at the best price, no matter if you travel on your own or as part of a group. You will be able to socialise, meet new people but also have some time to yourself throughout the holiday.  

Accommodation made easy

We try to make this part as simple as possible. You will be paired with another traveller of the same sex to share a room during your adventures so you won’t have to pay anything extra. If you prefer your own room you can pay a little extra (we work hard to keep this as little we can) which we can arrange after making your booking, just let us know. 

Authentic and affordable trips

We try to work with as many local providers as possible. It means we can offer you the biggest range of adventures and it enables you to see countries in a more unique and authentic way. Plus, we can keep the cost of the trip down by cutting out the middle man! 

We work hard with our suppliers to minimize extra costs like single room supplements for solo travellers.

Like-minded travellers

Most trips are guided in small groups, usually made up of between 10 and 15 people. In these groups, half or more will be fellow solo travellers. You get to meet like-minded people who all have the same sense of adventure and thirst for exploring. You'll have a local tour leader to look after all of the group’s needs and logistics and ensure you have the best experience while you are away.

Independent travel

If you like to travel a bit more independently, we have a selection of tours that are self-guided. We will equip you with all the things you may need for your adventure and you can explore at your own pace. Again, we try to keep any single supplements as low as possible by working closely with our local partners.  

Adventure Holidays For Singles

If you're single this type of holiday is fantastic, we would say that but they really are. We have loads of trips for different age ranges and interests. The small group adventures offer a social holiday for singles which provide an immediate group (or squad) to explore with. You'll certainly make friends for life. 

Hope to hear from you soon.


  • How do I meet everyone in the group?

    You'll meet everyone face to face on day one, typically meeting in your accommodation reception or bar at 18:00 but this can differ. The guide will be there too to provide some information and help with everyone getting to know one another.

  • Will I have my own room?

    You can either share with someone of the same gender or if you'd prefer your own room you can select your room and pay a little more during the booking process.

  • Are there activities every day?

    Each adventure will contain a mix of travel, experiences and free time. The idea is not to rush but to enjoy! there is enough that the children will be entertained!

  • Is the guide with us all the time?

    When you're travelling then typically yes and for activities too. During free time the guide will not be with you but is always contactable.

  • What is the accommodation like?

    The accommodation is usually 3 or 4 star. More details are on each trip page or in the brochure. You can always speak to our team who can provide much more information.

  • Are vegetarian food options available?

    Yes, vegetarian food options are available on all tours. The guide can also point out great places to eat if meals are not included in the tour price.

  • Can I talk to someone to find out more?

    Of course, we have an expert team on hand to talk to you.
