About Travel Thailand Tour

What we are, in one paragraph

We are an operator, not an agency. That sentence matters more than it sounds: most tours sold online in Thailand pass through three or four hands before anyone meets the traveller, and the last hand is usually a subcontractor nobody has vetted. We are that last hand. The guide, the car, the boat and the licence all belong to us, which is why we can answer for all of them.

We started in 2008 running two cars out of an office on Silom Road. The first ten years were mostly corporate and incentive work for European agencies. The direct-booking site you are reading is newer, and it exists because too many guests kept asking how to book the trips again without going through their company.

How we are structured

Thirty-four full-time guides, twenty-two drivers, a reservations team in Bangkok and small offices in Siem Reap and Hanoi for multi-country routes. Guides are salaried, not paid per booking, and they are not paid commission by any shop, restaurant or attraction. That is deliberate: the moment a guide earns from a stop, the itinerary stops being yours.

What we do not do

No elephant riding. No tiger temples. No staged hill-tribe villages with an entrance fee. No shopping stops, no gem factories, no commissions. We turn down bookings that require them, which costs us revenue and is worth it.
