Jade greens and turquoise blues await in Thailand. See the full spectrum alongside other solo travelers.

What could be better than exploring golden temples in Bangkok, or snorkeling and swimming in the transparent waters of the Thai islands? Doing it all alongside other intrepid solo travelers—and returning home with a whole new group of friends. This Solo Tour will sweep you from Thailand’s biggest city to its largest island—and if you add the extension to Chiang Mai, you’ll get to add lush rice paddies and a thriving elephant sanctuary to that list.
