THAILAND · WHAT TO DO
The ones worth your time.
The 10 3-hour experiences travellers book most, with what each one includes, who runs it, and what you pay.
3-hour Chiang Mai old-city walking tour to Wat Chedi Luang, Wat Phan Tao and Wat Phra Singh with an English local guide.
“James, our tour guide, was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and informative. We had a great time and would recommend this tour.”
Ride 40 km of Chiang Mai jungle on an ATV. Hotel pickup, safety training, river and village views, and lunch included.
“We really enjoyed our day, it was the highlight of our stay in Chaing Mai and we really felt we got to explore the mountain areas of Chiang Mai. I am a complete beginner and I was nervous about this as a 5ft tall woman that I wouldn’t be physically able to drive the ATV…”
A small-group ATV tour from Chiang Mai that mixes road, jungle track, scenic stops, and a solid included lunch, with safety training included.
“Amazing experience from start to finish. Picked up on time, helpful staff and food provided. Highly recommend to anyone.”
Small-group walk to Wat Pho and Wat Arun in 3 hours. Learn temple meaning, get coconut water, and avoid getting lost for $18.
“Would’ve been better to visit these on my own. The tour guide didn’t manage time very well, and other tourists had us waiting for them. Additionally, the tour guide’s English was difficult to understand at times. Overall, recommend visiting these temples but the tour wasn’t necessary!”
Chiang Mai ATV plus Mae Taeng white-water rafting with safety gear, lunch, showers, and hotel transfers in a small group.
“I’ve whitewater rafted in the U.S. (where I’m from) a few times… I felt the instruction was more thorough and I felt more safe with the instructors and guides from 8 Adventures. This was my first time four wheeling and it was phenomenal. Cruising through puddles in the rain. Slinging mud everywhere. Seeing the jungle…”
3-hour Bangkok Chinatown street-food tour with 10+ tastings, a Michelin-star stop, and small-group guidance in Yaowarat for $36.
“Very informative and different to what you might expect as the food varied from main Thai dishes to snack type samples of various types such as meats, snacks, sweet variations and even an iced drink. The guide was accommodating and engaging.”
3-hour Koh Samui jet ski safari to wild Pig Island or Koh Phangan, with transfers, snorkel gear, and small-group island stops.
“It was a neat trip but everything was incredibly rushed…20 min with the pigs 10 min snorkeling…if this was a 4 hour trip it would be a lot more enjoyable.”
Ride Ayutthaya at dusk for 3 hours past lit temples, night market snacks, Thai dinner, and a reclining Buddha stop.
“Longer ride than expected but enjoyed it all Walling through the festival as there were so many people and drone show were unexpected extras”
3-hour Phuket sunset trek to Krating Cape. Small group, photo spots, cliff views of Nai Harn, Promthep, and Racha Islands.
“My guide knew the streets well and quickly got me to the destination despite traffic. He was excellent at helping me navigate the rugged shoreline and rocky path. the sunset was perfect!”
Khao Lak cooking class with market visit at an elephant sanctuary. Pick ingredients and cook Pad Thai, Tom Yum, Som Tum, and mango sticky rice.
“i had an awesome time my class was so small that it was only me so i had a really good hands on experience. The trip to the market was fun and i saw lots of different things, the cooking class was really good to my guides made it very funny and enjoyable whilst still…”
