Thailand Private Tours |
|
Thailand is a sun-seeker's paradise, a culture hound's Shangri La and an adventurer's dream. From the remote hill tribe villages in the forested North to the unbridled commotion in Bangkok, the Thai people welcome visitors. Take a private Thailand tour and discover the secrets of this magical country with a local.
Get a taste for Thai spice with a cooking class in cultural Chiang Mai, then travel to the ancient temples in World Heritage-listed Sukhothai. Ever ridden an elephant? Give it a try at the Lampang Elephant Conservation Centre! Snorkelling in the colourful reefs off Koh Tao, you'll discover an astonishing underwater world you've only dreamt about. And of course you can relax on any one of Thailand's sun-kissed beaches – your guide will know how to escape the crowds.
Choose from the Thailand tours offered by ToursByLocals or feel free to suggest other places and activities that strike your interest. Your guide wants your trip to Thailand to be the adventure of a lifetime. |

| Tour Guide Legal Requirements |
The Tourist Authority of Thailand (TAT) requires that all tour guides attend a training course and pass a series of tests before they will issue a license. The length and breadth of the course will depend on what kind of license the guide wants to get. Some licenses cover only specific areas e.g Bangkok or Northern Thailand. Other licenses cover the whole of Thailand. For example, a pink license requires a 3 month course and covers Chiang Mai & Northern Thailand.
All official tour guides must have a license before they can work for a tour company or as a freelance guide. Guides who do not have a license are not endorsed by the TAT and are therefore working illegally. report error
All ToursByLocals guides have met our ToursByLocals Guide Requirements which includes warranting that they can legally give the tours they offer. |
