The country of Thailand offers a variety of natural beauties and rich culture. It is a highly sought country of backpackers around the globe. For many, it’s the first stop in their backpacking adventure. Traveling through Thailand isn’t new and therefore there are plenty of useful tips to learn from the mistakes or discoveries of others.

That being said, many experienced travelers recommend using a Thailand travel tour to go about the country. A travel agency will be the best way to experience the most of what Thailand has to offer without becoming too exhausted; there’s a lot to see. Relax and let the tour guides do all the work, here’s why:

From the mainland to the beautiful islands

Planning it all out can be pretty time consuming. A travel agency like Complete India & Asia already has multiple, reliable Thailand travel tours set in place. If a tour doesn’t have absolutely everything you need, it can be tailored to meet wants and needs. Their best deal is probably the “10 Days Thailand Bangkok-Phuket” tour for only 16,000 Baht or roughly $450 USD. It includes everything except the flight to Thailand! There is also the possibility of adding the neighboring countries to your itinerary.

Temple Temptations

A tour is a great way to see the magnificent temples of Thailand. Thailand is a country that is absolutely full of temples. Seeing all of them probably isn’t worth the time and would be extremely exhausting. However, with a pre-made tour you can visit all the worthwhile temples while still saving enough time to head to the beach or try some great Thai food.

Speaking of Food

Thailand is well-known for their great food, most specifically the street food. However, being careful is a must. Choosing the wrong food stand could quickly lead to food poisoning. Your tour guide will be able to advise you on which food stands are the best to choose from. As a general tip, busier places equal faster food rotation and thus fresher and more delicious food! It also can be insanely cheap!

Market Mania

Outdoor markets are the best places to find the cheapest prices and most creative Thai goods. Since markets are usually never a permanent feature of a city, they are almost never going to show up on an online map. However, an experienced local guide will be able to sniff out the top Thai markets.

Culture Clues

The Thai culture can be extremely different in certain regards to western culture. A whopping 95% of the population are Theravada Buddhist. There are also certain values that are highly important to Thai people. For example, keeping a level head is an extremely important characteristic that all Thai people try to embody. Showing irritation or anger is frowned upon and therefore smiling is super common. Your tour guide will watch out for certain values like theses and more importantly, keep you from making a fool of yourself!
