Thailand

Embark on an unforgettable journey with Red Kite Adventures as we present an exhilarating and fully escorted tour designed for 16 and 17 year olds in the heart of Southeast Asia – Thailand. Known as the 'Land of Smiles,' Thailand captivates travellers with its rich cultural tapestry, vibrant cities, and diverse landscapes.

Nestled in the heart of the Indochinese Peninsula, Thailand offers a striking blend of tradition and modernity. From the bustling markets of Bangkok to the serene temples of Chiang Mai and the pristine beaches of Phuket, our adventure promises a kaleidoscope of experiences.

Beyond its postcard-perfect scenery, Thailand is at the forefront of sustainable tourism initiatives. This journey takes you on a deep dive into responsible travel practices, showcasing Thailand's commitment to preserving its natural wonders. Engage in meaningful activities, from volunteering in local conservation projects to exploring eco-friendly initiatives, as we emphasise the importance of sustainable living and cultural appreciation.
