Thailand is a country known for its vibrant culture, beautiful beaches, and bustling cities, but there’s so much more waiting to be uncovered. Beyond the usual tourist hotspots lies a world of hidden gems - secluded islands, remote villages, and tranquil natural wonders. If you're looking to go beyond the typical path, Thailand offers a wealth of unforgettable experiences, many of which are off the beaten track. Here are some of the must-see hidden spots that you’ll see on our Thailand tours!

Cruise Bangkok’s Canals: A Glimpse of Local Life

While Bangkok’s busy streets are famous, the city’s canals, or khlongs , offer a peaceful escape. A canal cruise takes you through traditional wooden houses, local markets, and serene temples, giving you a glimpse into life that’s unchanged by the city’s rapid growth.

Floating Bungalows in Khao Sok: A Night on the Water

Khao Sok National Park’s stunning landscape, complete with towering limestone cliffs and tranquil Cheow Lan Lake, offers one of Thailand’s most unique experiences. Spend the night in floating bungalows on the lake, waking up to mist-covered mountains and the sounds of nature. Explore the area by kayak or tube for an unforgettable adventure.

Koh Phangan: Beyond the Full Moon Party

Known for its famous Full Moon Party, Koh Phangan also boasts hidden beaches and peaceful waterfalls. Haad Yuan Beach is perfect for relaxing away from the crowds, while Than Sadet Waterfall offers a tranquil spot for a swim in a natural pool.

Phi Phi Islands: Secluded Beaches and Snorkeling

The Phi Phi Islands are famous for their stunning beauty, but there are still quiet spots to explore. Skip the crowded Maya Bay and take a private boat trip to discover secluded beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and crystal-clear waters perfect for snorkelling.

Chiang Mai: Remote Hill Tribes and Elephants

The real charm of Chiang Mai lies in the remote hill tribes and ethical elephant sanctuaries. Trek through lush mountains to visit traditional villages and spend time with rescued elephants in a peaceful, natural setting that promotes conservation and ethical wildlife tourism. This is one of our incredible #SMALLCHANGE experiences you’ll be immersed in during our Thailand tours.

Phuket: Hidden Waterfalls and Tranquil Temples

Beyond its lively beaches, Phuket is home to hidden gems like Kathu Waterfall, where you can hike and swim in serenity. The island’s quiet temples, such as Wat Chalong, offer a peaceful escape from the crowds.

Sticky Waterfalls: A Unique Natural Wonder

Bua Thong Waterfalls, or the Sticky Waterfalls, near Chiang Mai, are a hidden natural wonder. The mineral-rich limestone allows you to climb the falls without slipping, offering a one-of-a-kind experience surrounded by lush jungle.
