Experienced tour guides know that Thailand’s worldwide reputation for pristine beaches, exotic markets, sacred temples, and as a destination for those who experience delight though their taste buds – is very well deserved. When it comes to Thai cuisine – Australian chef David Thompson, a prolific chef and expert on Thai food, observed that unlike many other cuisines – “Thai food ain’t about simplicity. It’s about the juggling of disparate elements to create a harmonious finish. Simplicity isn’t the dictum here, at all. Some westerners think it’s a jumble of flavors, but to a Thai that’s important, it’s the complexity they delight in.”.
If your travel tastes run toward the adventurous – like hiking, trekking, rafting, or jungle tours - local guides have got you covered. No need to worry about the language barrier when there is a friendly guide leading the way either. If you’re more comfortable sitting back and drinking it all in with a more relaxed pace – there are guided food and market tours, city walking tours in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, and after dark tours that will help you safely navigate the legendary nightlife that Thailand is famous for.
