Unusual holidays in Thailand
Perhaps you’ve seen Thailand’s big sights already – or maybe the clichéd beach holiday doesn’t appeal. Our Thailand unusual holidays may just be the answer: homestays with the Karen tribe, hands-on community projects, longtail boat expeditions around unexplored mangroves, and hopping aboard with fishermen to help with the catch of the day. All our community tours support local, traditional communities – so you’re giving back as you go along.
