Thank you Jack!

Had a lovely time in Vietnam under the care of Jack, our guide for the trip. Always helpful and happy to assist, he made the trip worry free, while keeping things rolling and down to party. The feel free experience is well curated, with cool accomodations and with a fair bit of activities. A good entry-level trip for those new to travel in Asia. Vietnam is a pretty country to explore, nice food and people, although you can see it becoming more and more touristic, which can be good and bad.

3 down, hopefully many more to go!

This was my third trip with Feel Free, and it was another amazing experience. From hiking to surfing, early mornings to wild nights out, you experience so much in just 12 days. There’s so much amazing nature to see and culture to experience, so much food to eat, it’s incredible that we managed to do it all. Jamie was a fantastic group leader, energetic, funny and knowledgable, she knocked it out of the park ❤️ 2 stars, since the pools were all hot.. just kidding 5 stars, would recommend 🤩😆 (not kidding about the pools though, they are hot) 🥵

First of many Feel Free tours!

As a first time solo traveller, I did my research before booking; Feel Free came up top and they didn't disappoint!! There was regular contact before the trip, during and after! From landing in Bangkok, I felt safe and always knew help was always at hand if needed. From meeting our brilliant tour leaders, Danny (Mr Worldwide ;)) and Jack, they made us all feel welcome and safe at every stage of the tour. They were informative about what the plan was each day, what sort of things we could do in our free time and made great recommendations to ensure we made the most of our time where ever we wanted. There was plenty of flexibility, choice for food and exploring. We all got on so well and Danny and Jack made sure to get to know us on a personal level too! Everyone had so much fun, made travel buddies and friends for life! Since coming home, I'm ready to book my next tour and recommended Feel Free to everyone I've spoken to!

Solo trip to Vietnam

I recently travelled to Vietnam with Feel Free Travel and had an amazing experience. Our tour guide, Jev, was exceptional and made sure our trip was unforgettable. He went above and beyond to ensure that everyone in our group was comfortable and cared for. Jev's organizational skills were impeccable, making us feel like we were traveling with a friend rather than a tour guide. We explored the busy streets of Hanoi, cruised through beautiful Ha Long Bay, and immersed ourselves in the vibrant markets of Hoi A City. Thanks to Jev and Feel Free Travel, my journey through Vietnam has left me with cherished memories. I highly recommend Jev and Feel Free Travel to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure. Thank you for an amazing trip!

Best trip ever!!!!!!

Feel free was amazinggg!!!! This was my first solo trip and it was so so so much fun!! Vietnam was amazing I already miss it :( I met amazing people and ate the best food!! Planning was such a breeze with this company. Charlotte was such a great group leader and knew all the recommendations for everything I wanted to do outside of group activities. If you’re thinking about doing it, DO IT!! You won’t regret it :) especially if it’s your first time going solo, they’ll make traveling easy, safe and fun for you. Thank you Feel Free for one of the greatest adventures of my life! ❤️

Vietnam Feel free travel 04/2024

Fantastic run tour both by the company and tour guide, Jev! Amazing activities all across Vietnam and have looked back with such joy with experiencing this tour with new people and new places. Has a good balance of urban and countryside, could see a little more natural and free living aspects but still a fabulous tour company. For someone who had been solo travelling, it was nice to have someone take the reins and guide you through the wonderful country of Vietnam. I can imagine the other tours they offers are equal in value. Our tour guide had great character, great knowledge and was always a good laugh, made me consider applying to feel free myself!!

My 15 day tour in Thailand was absolutely amazing, I can’t put into words how much of an incredible time I had. Our tour guides, Tia and Charlotte, were the best and I couldn’t have asked for better guides. If anyone is thinking of going on a trip with Feel Free Travel, you should definitely do it!! Thanks so much for such an amazing adventure and to Tia and Charlotte for making it so special!

15 Day Thailand Tour

Booked my first group tour to Thailand with Feel free Travel, I was apprehensive about travelling with strangers however by the end we were all great friends. The 15 day tour has a lot fitted in, lots of activities and attractions, however you can sit some out of its not your thing (I done this with the hiking!). Our guides, Jamie and Lizzie were great fun and did their best to keep energy levels up at all times and help the group connect! All of the hotels were of a good standard and provided transport was comfortable. For the price point I thought it was exceptional value for all we got. The only criticisms would be the hotel in Bangkok wasn’t the best, small rooms and no pool. Highly recommend overall!

Feel Free offered a diverse and dynamic tour of Sri Lanka. The tour boasted everything Sri Lanka had to offer from beautiful temples, exciting culture, unique food and other wordly surroundings. Jamie and Ian were fantastic leaders, all activities and experiences were arranged providing a stress free, seamless service throughout. I felt safe and cared for the entire trip. The trip is quite full on in terms of activities, however you are always free to skip one or two things and relax by the pool or maybe get a massage if you need some R&R inbetween days. The accomodation was great, clean and safe. The last hotel was my favourite in terms of design.. very eclectic and cute attention to detail. Overall the trip is great value for money, and offered experiences it would be almost impossible for you to set up yourself. It was undoubtedly a fantastic way to travel Sri Lanka. The people were beautiful - group tours definitely push you out of your comfort zone and give you new perspectives, its all part of the solo travelling adventure. I know my group and I have made treasured memories for a lifetime! Thank you !!! <3

I honestly cannot put into words how…

I honestly cannot put into words how amazing the Sri Lanka trip was! From the amazing company , views, food and then some I felt so safe and secure with feel free Jamie was so amazing from making the experiences the best they could be to being supportive when needing that little bit extra push to the challenging parts having Jamie felt more like having a friend than a group leader and that’s what made the trip so special and that’s why I love feel free travel , I will be 10000% be booking more trips this trip will always have a special place in my heart

The best way to experience Thailand

We had the best time with Feel Free and especially with Jamie as our tour guide! He made everyone feel so welcome and was a wealth of knowledge for us on the best places to go and things to see outside of the main tour. That being said, the tour was jam packed with activities, nights out and sight-seeing with just the right amount of chill time. Our highlights were seeing the elephants, Khao Sok National Park and being in Northern Thailand for Songkran, but honestly having such a great group to experience Thailand with was probably the biggest win. All in all, the tour was fantastic. We loved every minute and if you're considering booking this tour DO IT! You won't regret it.

Magical Sri Lanka 😍🇱🇰

I can't express how amazing this trip was - wow, what a magical country! 🇱🇰☀️ Jamie is a great tour leader and an amazing person, and Ian our local guide provided a lot of interesting facts on the country's culture, food & traditions (plus some great dance moves and great laughs 😂). Chander, our bus driver, was always helpful and with a smile on his face 😊 Sri Lanka has so much to offer, and for me the tour was a perfect mix of culture, great food, nature, beaches, activity and chill time, plus some great surprises and great accommodation. The group size was just right, and I was lucky to be a part of the best group - people who have now become great friends 🐘🏄🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️☀️💃🏼🥘🛕 I can't pick one favourite moment from the trip, so yeah - just go, and experience it for yourself 😃 This was my first trip with Feel Free, but definitely not my last! 😍

30th March Vietnam tour

Did the 30th March Vietnam tour! Had an absolutely amazing time and loved the balance of unique experiences that you may not necessarily get to do as easily without a group, with free time spent with the group lounging by the pool and playing cards. Charlotte was an amazing group leader and felt like more of an extra member than a group leader, while also ensuring the tour was as stress-free as possible!

The best time in Sri Lanka

The best time in Sri Lanka with feel free ! Couldn’t recommend the Lanka Loop tour enough, had the perfect mix of activities and free time in the sun 🌞 Jamie and Ian made the trip even better, always offering recommendations of where to go and making sure everyone was happy. The trip was very well organised, places we stayed were unreal (most of which had a pool 🙌🏼), would definitely book another trip!

Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

Had the best time with feel free last year in Vietnam so booked again to do Sri Lanka and it didn’t disappoint! Jamie and Ian were the best, always giving us the best recommendations and chander keeping us safe on road :) the activity’s and accommodations were amazing, i absolutely loved the trip and couldn’t recommend it enough! Wish I could do it all again 🫶

Experience of a lifetime: Sri Lanka tour

I can’t express how amazing this trip was. It was the first time I was doing something like this, and I felt very comfortable and safe the whole time. Our group leader Jamie and our local guide Ian were absolutely fantastic!! Jamie is full of energy, constantly smiling and gave us the best experience ever. Ian had some great knowledge up his sleeve (and dance moves!) about Sri Lanka, the food, the culture, the history, which was very interesting to learn about. I was very impressed with the accommodation throughout the trip too - very comfortable and clean, with great beds, breakfasts and pools! In terms of the tour itself, it was 10/10. It was a perfect mix of culture and adventure, with a couple of evenings out. And the surprises were incredible and probably one of my favourite parts of the trip! The bus journeys were comfortable and easy, usually with 3 hour journeys being split with a short activity or lunch in between. Overall, I can’t fault anything. I loved everything about it and couldn’t recommend this enough to anyone thinking about solo travelling. Thank you Feel Free!

You won’t regret booking with Feel Free!!

Cannot recommend feel free enough. I really wasn’t sure if group travel would be for me but I’ve had the most incredible experience on the 15 day Thailand tour. I can’t praise our guides Jack and Danny enough- they were available to help out 24/7 and made the experience unforgettable. The tour was well planned and each excursion was amazing - the highlight for me has to be the elephants 🩵. The tour is the perfect mix of planned activities and free time and Jack and Danny accommodated me going off to the gym / running/ doing my own thing perfectly, helping me meet up with the group when I wanted. They also were able to recommend great restaurants / extra activities that weren’t included and definitely knew the areas we were visiting well. The whole group gelled so well together, largely thanks to Jack and Danny’s enthusiasm. Would 100% book another tour with these guys!!

15 days Thailand

I recently went on my first solo travel adventure in Thailand, and I couldn't have asked for a better group or tour leader. Jamie was amazing, making sure that everyone was having the time of their life and always giving us the best recommendations of Thai cuisine. Every moment of the tour was unforgettable, from staying in the floating bungalows to the incredible experience of meeting the elephants. I'm immensely grateful to Feel Free Travel for organizing such an amazing trip.

Tea Fields, mountains and riding waves: Sri Lanka

This was my second trip with Feel Free Travel (first was the Best of Asia tour), and everything I've said before still stands. The routes are amazing, the places we stayed at were wonderful, and by the end of the trip, you'll have made a bunch of new friends. This time we toured Sri Lanka, which meant green Tea leaves, marvelous views from bus or train, delicious food and hikes to stunning views. Even if you've seen a fair bit of Asia already, Sri Lanka is so unique that you're basically guaranteed to experience something new. As for the tour itself, everything went smoothly as usual. Jamie was an amazing guide, who somehow managed to seem less like someone doing this as their job but rather being the 'mom-friend' of the group who took over all the planning so that the others could be content travel potatoes. We knew where we were headed, what significance the places we visited had, and if someone had any problems whatsoever she was there immediately. A quick shout-out to Ian, our very knowledgeable local guide, and Chandra, our trusty bus driver as well, who accompanied us during the whole trip. Honestly, the only thing I'm a little bummed about is that I'm running out of routes to take with you guys xx

I had an amazing time on the Bali trip! All the activities, food and accommodation were so good and our leaders, Gab and Jake, couldn’t have been better. They were personable and easy to get on with but also very organised and on top of everything. Definitely recommend!

The tour was amazing and put together really well. It’s perfect for first time travellers that don’t want to deal with the stress of travelling as the leaders take on all the responsibilities. Couldn’t thank Gab and Jev enough as they were great and welcoming from the start, after a couple of days it felt like I was just travelling with my friends! They always came with a good vibe and made sure everyone was involved. I highly recommend anyone with doubts just to book it! It can be quite nerve-racking going solo but by the end of the tour it’ll feel like you’ve known these people for a lifetime.😊

Amazing Trip!

Just Finished the 15 Day Vietnam Trip and I've had the most amazing time! This is my third time using feel Free and I will keep using them again and again! I was blessed to have Charlotte as my group leader a ball of energy who lights up any room! From the get go Charlotte made me feel comfortable and welcomed is a fantastic leader with great recommendations, energy, dance moves and pool side chit chats! I've completed Thailand and Sri Lanka with feel free but Vietnam has been the tour with the most activities and changes of location and I've absolutely loved all of them. Kayaking in Ha Long Bay, Pottery Making, Fisher Boats, Nights Out, Coconut Boats, Mud Baths it's all been amazing. Every hotel has been beautiful, clean and with a great location. Many meals were included too and I especially loved the home stay! I can't reccomend feel free enough and I'm so glad I found them as it's made a huge impact on my life and everytime I have such an amazing time! Blessed with a fantastic group and leader. Thank you so much for the best 2 weeks! See you again soon!

BEST 2 weeks in Vietnam 🇻🇳

Want to say a massive thank you to feel free for providing the best trip to Vietnam ❤️ with the perfect mix of free time and group activities! Thoroughly enjoyed myself from start to finish 😊Especially to our amazing tour leaders Jack & Gab 🦀 You’re both amazing and an absolute credit to the company ❤️ Anyone booking with feel free would be lucky to have you show them around 😁 Made some amazing memories and learned so much! Let alone the fantastic group we had. Met some truly amazing people and friends for life ❤️ Would highly recommend using Feel Free, I was a little torn in choosing which travel group to go with but definitely made the right decision ❤️ Thank you once again xxx

This trip was absolutely amazing

This trip was absolutely amazing! With every day planned out, you truly “feel free” as you explore all that Thailand has to offer. As a solo traveller, I was skeptical at first but this trip went above and beyond my expectations. You meet a lot of like minded people all while making unforgettable memories. My tour guide Beth was so great - she always made sure we were settled in at each location we travelled to and gave best recommendations for food, nightlife, etc. The itinerary was the perfect mix of Thai culture, activity, and fun nightlife. I definitely plan to go on another tour through Feel Free Travel. Do not hesitate to book!

Just been on the most amazing trip to Sri Lanka. It really was incredible. Jamie our group leader looked after us so well and really made sure we had a great time. Everything was really well organised. I met some amazing people and really loved Sri Lanka. It's a beautiful country.

book the trip!!

I couldn’t recommend Feel Free Travel more as a solo traveler. I did the Thailand 15 days and it was the best trip! Everything was well organized from before I left for my trip to when I arrived in Thailand. My group leader Beth was absolutely incredible. I didn’t have to worry about a thing because she was always prepared. I’m so glad I had her for my first Feel Free trip. Overall, this trip was the perfect balance of culture, nightlife, travel destinations, and free time. I loved every destination and activity. This trip was perfect and I encourage every solo traveler to book the trip!

Thailand 15 day tour- So worth it!

For my first time travelling with Feel Free and also travelling to Asia, I would definitely recommend them. They take hastle out of trying to plan and think of things to do whilst a way. It was a lovely way to introduce Thailand and what it has to offer. It was very well balanced and there's something for everyone! Tia was amazing, she was so helpful and always kept us up to date. Couldn't even tell that it was her first group tour by herself. I would recommend this trip for anyone wanting to go solo travel but not wanting to be completely alone. It takes away the stress/ anxiety of planning.

Absolutely Flawless - Vietnam 15 Day

It’s been a week since the tour ended, and I’m still sad it had to come to an end! Gab and “her assistant” Jev (sorry mate, couldn’t resist!) were amazing. They always made sure we were having a great time, organised some fantastic nights out and had the best recommendations for our free time. I will never forget our day quad biking, surfing and footballing at sunset… even if my ankle did give way scoring the first non own-goal for my team. No regrets! We also had an amazing group, and even though I did the tour solo, it genuinely felt like I was travelling with a group of friends I’d known for a long time. Huge thanks to both Gab and Jev, from your unofficial group DJ. Looking forward to the next one! 😀

Vietnam 15 day tour

The 15 day Vietnam tour was such a good experience, our tour guide Charlotte was also brilliant, making sure everything is organized and on time. Highly recommend!

My experience has been incredible from start to finish

My experience has been incredible from start to finish. My trip to Bali was fun, educational, and has personally helped me grow in many ways. I now have knowledge on the culture, learned the difference languages, made lifelong friends with my group as well as locals, and learned where to find the best hidden gems from the best group leader! Would also like to say a big thank you to my group leader (Sophia) for always making me feel included and ensuring each and every one of us were happy and having the best experience.

Sri Lanka - 12 day tour

What an experience! My third time returning to feel free & they did not fail to amaze me! Such a brilliant company with the best staff! Couldn’t fault our tour leader Jamie who made the trip feel safe, organised & showed us all the Sri Lanka experiences. Brilliant country! Ian was a brilliant local tour guide with a great personality. With about 15 of us in total, the group blended so well & Jamie helped bring us altogether to mix & get on really well. The Thank you Jamie it was amazing!!

Feel free exceeded again with Sri Lanka trip 👏

After having such a great time on the Thailand tour last year, I booked with Feel Free travel again this year, but this time onto the Sri Lanka trip. Even after knowing the high standard from the Thailand tour, Feel free managed to exceed expectations once again. The Sri Lanka tour was just amazing. It was very active, with lots planned for us so we could really experience how wonderful and varied the country was, from hikes, to temples, to safari and surfing. And all was so expertly organised, providing the opportunity to travel extensively in a very safe environment. Big credit to Jamie, our tour leader, Ian, our local guide and Chander, the best driver in Sri Lanka who took us round the entire trip. Jamie was very attentive, ensuring we all had the best time and most importantly felt included, always watching to see if someone wasn’t in a conversation and bringing them in. She also always brought the energy, even at 5am! Then Ian, what a man. It was great to have a local guide helping us travel the country. He was such an asset to the trip, so informative, absolutely hilarious and just a great person. Feel free is an amazing tour company and I would 1000% recommend them (and have done to friends who also had a great time). I only hope they add more countries so I can travel more with them. Big thanks to Jamie, Ian, Chander and the 2nd April crew. What a fantastic group of people.

Thailand 🇹🇭

I have had the best time of my life on the Thailand tour with Feel Free. All of the experiences were amazing and varied, from hiking, seeing temples, Muay Thai, beach parties, snorkelling to seeing the beautiful elephants in Chiang Mai (and many many more unforgettable experiences that will stay with me for the rest of my life)! There was something for everyone. I have come home, reluctantly, feeling like I have experienced a lot of the best bits of Thailand and learnt so much! Our group leader Ash is the best we could have wished for. It was easy to see he has a lot of love for Thailand and the people and animals that live there, he was always there to answer any of our questions and make sure we made the most out of our time and is just a lovely human! Ash also helped us all out with suggestions what we could do in any free time and had an encyclopaedia of food recommendations 🥰. Thank you for the most amazing experience, memories and friendships that will last a lifetime!

I loved the 15 day tour to Vietnam with Feel Free and i am missing the country and the group already. The diversity of the activities, extraordinary places we visited and overall experience was amazing and I couldn't have asked for more. There was also a well balanced amount of free time where we could relax/explore ourselves. However the best part had to be having Gab and Jev as group leaders who went above and beyond to ensure that we all had the best time. They brought so much energy and fun to the group and were always there when you needed them, even to help with onward travel and recommendations. Their food recommendations were excellent in particular and everything went so smoothly with no stress whatsoever. I will never forget the dunes in Mui Ne, surfing, playing football at sunset and playing games on the beach in Nha Trang/smash ball in Ninh Binh. I will 100% be booking onto another Feel Free Tour next year. Thank you Gab and Jev for an unforgettable trip!!

Highly recommend

Highly recommend Just completed our 15 days travelling Thailand, with a Team Leader Beth. Great experiences, lovely people and amazing activities, The trip was Brilliant from day one and Beth made it super easy and relaxing. Can’t wait to book another one :)

Best of Bali

Had the absolute best time on the Bali tour. The experiences are amazing and I couldn’t have been with a better group of people! Soph was an unreal group leader, keeping things fun even through rain and rough seas, and doing all the hard work behind the scenes to give us stress free time in paradise - I can’t imagine having had such an amazing time without her! Our local guide Haris was an absolute joy and I loved learning about Balinese culture from him. Our drivers Joe and Bagus were the best of craic, and all of the locals we met were warm, welcoming, and excited to share with us. I’d do another Feel Free tour in a heartbeat!

Date of experience : March 04, 2024

Such an amazing and fun experience for my first time in Asia! I really recommend this tour for those who are looking to solo travel and want the ease and safety of being apart of a guided tour. I never expected to meet so many like minded people and form friendships that I’m sure will endure outside the trip! There are plenty of activities and we had the wonderful Beth to guide us through, so there was zero stress with the overnight train, flight to Chiang Mai, etc. There is plenty of chill time to recoup after a busy day of activities. A perfect balance! Thank you feel free 💜💜

15 Day Thailand

I did the 15 day Thailand trip…..Trip of a life time! Like something you would see in a movie. Every place is so unique and different it would be impossible to do it justice to put into words. To do all that planning and organising ourselves would have been really overwhelming with the amount of activities and travel. Feel free run so smoothly mainly down to our amazing team lead Beth! Great socially and professionally always keeping us update on the daily plans and what we needed for the day. She made this trip an unforgettable adventure❤️ I’d definitely come back in a heartbeat and can’t wait for my next trip with feel free!

The Vietnam Tour was amazing

The Vietnam Tour was amazing. So many good activities and Charlotte was so amazing:) would recommend

5 Best Thailand Backpacking Tours 2024 & 2025

READY TO BOOK YOUR THAILAND BACKPACKING TOUR?

You’ve come to the right article as I’m a full-time backpacker and I’m going to show you the 5 best Thailand backpacking tours.

Thailand is an incredible place and one of the most popular countries in the world for backpacking.

But it can be pretty hard to plan a backpacking trip for yourself from scratch.

So for most people, it’s easier to book a backpacking tour.

However, it can be hard to know whether something is going to be a good tour or not. And since it’s such a big amount of money, you don’t want to commit to something that turns out to be crap, right?

Luckily for you, Thailand is one of my favourite countries, and I’m a full-time backpacker, so I’ve created this blog post on the best Thailand backpacking tours, all of which I recommend highly.

This article contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase using one of these links, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It helps me to keep my site up and running! Read my disclaimer for more information.

🏆 EDITOR’S PICK: Best Tour = Classic Thailand – West Coast (G Adventures)

Ready to explore the best options and book your tour? Let’s get straight into it!

My Top 3 Picks: Thailand Backpacking Tours

#1 TOP PICK

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Classic Thailand – G Adventures ✔️ 14 day tour ✔️ Best backpacking experience ✔️ 2-3 date options each month

Total Thailand – Contiki ✔️ 14 days ✔️ 7 destinations ✔️ Group size avg. 24

Iconic Thailand – G Adventures ✔️ 15 days ✔️ Immersive experiences ✔️ Focus on culture

Best Thailand Backpacking Tours

1. classic thailand – west coast (g adventures).

⭐ RATING: 4.8 out of 5 Stars | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 14 days | 🧍 GROUP SIZE: Max 16, Avg. 12 | 🇹🇭 BOOK NOW

The number one Thailand backpacking tour in my opinion is the Classic Thailand – West Coast tour hosted by G Adventures. It’s the perfect tour for a first-time trip to Thailand.

If you haven’t heard of G Adventures before, then you need to get to know them. They are one of the most well-renowned tour companies for hosting backpacking trips all around the world.

And they provide some of the best in Thailand too. I personally recommend taking the Classic Thailand – West Coast tour.

If you are backpacking Thailand for the first time, you probably want to see all of the “must-sees” and the traditional stops along a typical Thailand itinerary.

Well, the Classic Thailand tour covers exactly that. It stops at all the usual destinations and provides lots of fun activities along the way.

Destinations: Bangkok , Kanchanaburi, Ayutthaya, Chiang Mai, Ko Ngai, Ko Lanta, Ao Nang (Krabi).

As you can see, it stops all over the country and provides a complete tour from north to south over the 14-day tour.

In terms of things to do, so many things are included. From a Klong riverboat tour in Bangkok to the Ayutthaya Temple ruins tour, or the half-day snorkelling through the Trang Islands or the beach barbecue on Ko Lanta, you’re guaranteed to have the trip of a lifetime.

3 internal flights are even included in the price! If you’re interested, they’re from Chiang Mai to Bangkok, Bangkok to Ko Ngai and Ao Nang to Bangkok (the tour starts and ends in Bangkok). All other transportation (buses, etc.) is also included.

To quote the review above, you will have three main outcomes from booking the Classic Thailand – West Coast tour. Firstly, you will learn a lot. Secondly, you will get to try lots of new things- new foods, new activities, new cultures, etc.

Thirdly, and in my opinion, one of the best outcomes…you get to meet some incredible people. One of the best reasons for booking a Thailand backpacking tour is the people you meet.

You will make friends for life, I promise you.

Before I ever stayed in a hostel, or I ever took a group tour, I had read myself how easy it was to make new friends and I always thought to myself, “Yeah sure, but how easy really is it?”.

It’s really easy. Effortless, almost. It happens so naturally. It’s hard to explain until you experience it for yourself, but I promise you, that you will leave a tour like this with new-found mates.

Especially since you usually share a room with one other travelle r (of the same sex). So you get to know that person really well. Although, you can pay extra to have your own room at each destination.

But if you’re looking for a backpacking tour, I’m guessing you’re probably happy to share a room in order to save money.

All sound good? There are lots of date options all year round, typically around 3-4 different date options per month , but more or less depending on demand. And you can book up to 2.5 years ahead.

But make sure to book the Classic Thailand – West Coast tour well in advance as it does sell out, especially during peak seasons, so make sure to be prepared and secure your spot on the date you want.

2. Total Thailand Trip (Contiki)

⭐ RATING: 4.9 out of 5 Stars | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 14 days | 🧍 GROUP SIZE: Avg 24 | 🇹🇭 BOOK NOW

If you would like another option that also offers the typical Thailand backpacking experience in the form of a group tour, then take a look at the Total Thailand Trip hosted by Contiki.

Contiki is another highly thought of company for hosting group tours, especially those for backpackers. You can’t go wrong with any of their tours.

Total Thailand Trip is a similar trip to the first one in terms of destinations, just with a slightly different format.

Destinations: Bangkok, Kanchanaburi, Chiang Mai, Pai, Surat Thani, Khao Sok, Krabi.

It’s important to point out straight away that this tour starts in Bangkok but ends in Krabi. So make sure when you are booking your flights, you consider this.

However, I would suggest just booking a flight from Krabi back to Bangkok as it’s much easier to fly internationally from BKK. Oh and if it wasn’t already implied, these tours do not include your flights to and from Thailand, you need to sort that yourself.

I like that this tour visits Pai, it’s one of the destinations many people skip over in Thailand but I love it. To make your life easy for you in deciding which tour to go with, I’ll summarise as follows:

The first tour, Classic Thailand has a much faster pace. It’s got a lot more travelling and typically only spends one night in most places so you visit a lot more destinations. This tour, Total Thailand Trip , is a lot slower and visits less destinations, but visits them more thoroughly.

It pretty much comes down to how you want to travel. Do you want to see more places? Or do you want to see fewer places, but see them well? That makes your decision for you.

Also, Contiki also allows you to pay over time, all they need is a £60 deposit and you can pay in interest-free instalments. It’s a really great way to make travel more affordable and I applaud them for it.

If you decide to go with Total Thailand , you get to do things like these: Relax at Erawan Waterfalls; Sail Lake Cheow Lan and take a Thai cooking class. It’s got all sorts of activities!

As the above review says, the days are jam-packed with things to do! You definitely won’t be left with any time to be bored.

But you are given free time , which I like. These tours all offer the perfect balance between a guided Thailand backpacking tour, and allowing you to have your own personal backpacking experience too.

If you are less flexible with dates though, you might prefer the first tour, as Total Thailand only takes place once or twice a month, but when it does take place, oh it takes place. What a tour!

By the way, only people aged 18-35 are allowed to take the tour. If you are older, I’m sorry but unfortunately, this isn’t the tour for you. Classic Thailand takes older backpackers.

If you’re under 35, perfect! Then make sure to book Total Thailand for the ultimate Thailand adventure and to create memories to last a lifetime.

3. Iconic Thailand (G Adventures)

⭐ RATING: 4.7 out of 5 Stars | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 15 days | 🧍 GROUP SIZE: Max 16, Avg. 12 | 🇹🇭 BOOK NOW

Backpackers are often travellers who want to experience new things. Iconic Thailand is the best Thailand backpacking tour for culture. The whole tour revolves around cultural experiences.

Throughout this unique 15-day Thai adventure, you will get to experience all aspects of the culture of Thailand.

From meeting monks from a Buddhist temple to visiting a rural village in Krabi, Iconic Thailand really immerses you in the culture, and opens your eyes to the way of life in Thailand.

Destinations: Bangkok, Kanchanaburi, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Chiang Mai, Ko Samui, Khao Sok, Krabi

One of the best reasons to visit Thailand is the culture, and there’s no better way to experience it than by taking a trip with a focus on culture.

But of course, you get to experience everything else too. Island life. Stunning scenery. You name it, and this tour has it.

To sum up how important culture is to this tour, it has a ripple score of 100 (out of 100, the higher the better).

A ripple score is G Adventure’s way of making sure things are with local businesses , rather than tourist traps.

In other words, they arrange things in person with local tours and excursions, rather than online.

So by booking Iconic Thailand , you are having the trip of a lifetime, and helping local businesses along the way.

You also take part in a rainforest Eco-Walk, which is a hike through Klong Phanom National Park focusing on the conservation of animals and nature in the area.

All in all, if you want to learn a ton about Thai culture, support the local economy, and be an overall good person, book Iconic Thailand .

Disclaimer: you’re not a bad person if you book the other tours 😀

4. Northern Thailand: Hilltribes & Villages (G Adventures)

⭐ RATING: 4.7 out of 5 Stars | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 8 days | 🧍 GROUP SIZE: Max 18, Avg. 12 | 🇹🇭 BOOK NOW

You might have already researched Thailand a bit and decided you want to visit a certain part of the country. The south is known for its islands, and the north for its mountains. Northern Thailand: Hilltribes & Villages is the best way to get an in-depth dive into the north of Thailand.

Northern Thailand: Hilltribes & Villages is aimed at young travellers looking for a Thailand backpacking tour with similar people.

The age range is 18-39, or as G Adventures like to call it, 18-thirtysomethings. Unfortunately, if you’re 40 or older, this isn’t the tour for you. But don’t worry- there is a very similar tour of Northern Thailand with no age limit.

Regardless, Northern Thailand will open your eyes to the way of life in this magical part of our world. The culture is abundant and the tour takes you beyond the temples, beyond the street markets, and shows you what everyday life is like here.

Destinations: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Ban Mae Jok, Pa Khao Lam & lots of small villages

As the name suggests, it’s all about learning about hill tribes and villages, and there’s no better way to do so than by visiting these places yourself.

In my opinion, it’s one of the best tours you can take because visiting small villages is always so heartwarming. The locals are always so friendly and welcoming , and greet you with a smile on their faces no matter who you are, where you come from, or what you look like; it doesn’t matter to them.

After all, Thailand is nicknamed the Land of Smiles .

As well as visiting the small villages, there is also a hill tribe trek in the mountains around Chiang Mai where you get to go bamboo rafting, meet the locals, and get a feel for the incredibly beautiful Thai jungles.

It feels pretty epic to trek through the jungles in Southeast Asia, to be honest! I felt like a proper explorer haha. There’s so many opportunities along the Banana Pancake Trail .

If you want a Thailand backpacking group tour where you get to go beyond the popular destinations, and instead visit small villages and get to meet tons of new people, then definitely consider booking Northern Thailand: Hilltribes & Villages .

5. South to North Thailand Group Tour (Feel Free Travel)

⭐ RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 15 days | 🧍 GROUP SIZE: Avg. 12-16 | 🇹🇭 BOOK NOW

Last but by no means least is the South to North Thailand Group Tour by Feel Free Travel. It actually provides one of the best “backpacking” tours of Thailand, in my opinion. And I have a discount code which gets you £50 off too! I’ll tell you it in a sec!

And you also get to visit some of the best destinations in Thailand which some other tours miss out on. The Phi Phi islands for example…what a place! It’s on so many people’s bucket lists, and what better way to experience it than with a bunch of new like-minded friends?

South to North Thailand Group Tour also includes many more activities, with over 30 different activities included over the 15 day adventure (and many more additional ones which you can pay a little extra for). The likes of feeding elephants, getting involved in Muay Thai, tubing in Khao Sok, and more, are all included.

All things which I would include on an itinerary if I was DIY backpacking Thailand .

You will be left with hundreds and hundreds of memories and stories. One of the best parts about going backpacking is the stories you can tell afterwards, right?

It is a captivating location and extends over 513,120 sq km. This lovely nation is a melting pot of various civilizations.

Thailand consists of a variety of things, from the ascetic lifestyle of the monks to the vibrant nightlife & rave events on the beaches. Every year, hordes of tourists flock to Thailand’s gorgeous beaches.

Thailand offers vacations for every price range, whether you choose the opulent, contemporary Bangkok or the basic living on Koh Samui.

Every traveler who goes there will hold a particular place in their hearts for it. Whatever your budget or hobbies, Thailand has a lot to provide visitors. You can travel lavishly in opulent resorts on the beach, or you can backpack on a tight budget. Or you might simply visit on a tight budget and see a lot for your money; the nation offers something for everyone.

Since the nation is a well-traveled stop on the trekking trail, everything is practical and simple. There are still a lot of off-the-beaten-path locations available, though, outside of the crowds and the increased costs they bring.

Making the ideal tour excursion requires making a number of considerations. For many who are taking their first trip, this may seem a little intimidating. It could be a little difficult to decide where to go, how to get there, where else to stay, & how much money to bring.

Feel relaxed and calm! If you take a trip to Thailand, you can make your decision more easily. In this article, we’ll talk about the top tours in Thailand and their operators. I hope you will find out the best one for your next tour.

Delta recovers emergency slide that separated from Boeing plane

An emergency slide that fell from a Delta flight just a few minutes after takeoff has been recovered from the Atlantic Ocean in New York City.

The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation said that the airline recovered the slide on Sunday in a jetty near Beach 131st Street in Queens, about 10 miles from where the flight took off Friday at John F. Kennedy International Airport.

"As nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and people, Delta flight crews enacted their extensive training and followed procedures to return to JFK," Delta said in a statement about the diverted plane issued Friday.

The company said that the plane landed safely and "it was observed that the emergency slide had separated from the aircraft," after returning to a gate.

The company confirmed the recovery of the slide Monday and referred to its earlier statement.

Flight returned due to alert crew

Flight 520 to Los Angeles returned to JFK after the flight crew saw an indicator light related to the right overwing exit and heard a "non-routine" sound near the right wing.

The crew also reported a vibration , according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The flight was operated by a 33-year-old Boeing 767 , according to data from  Airfleets.net , and passengers were accommodated on a different flight later in the morning. There were 183 people aboard the flight.

The FAA said it is investigating the incident and Delta said it would cooperate with that investigation.

Monmouth County offers free rides for medical visits for anyone who needs one

Two-minute read.

FREEHOLD - Monmouth County residents can now schedule two free round-trip rides every week to address their medical, wellness and nutrition appointments. 

The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners has partnered with EZ Ride, the Wood-Ridge based transportation company, to provide free rides to residents looking to make trips related to their health. Residents can travel to medical appointments such as the doctors, dentist or therapist. They can also pick up a prescription or get lab work done. Residents can also book rides to grocery stores, food pantries or farmers markets, according to a Monmouth County press release. 

According to Monmouth County Commissioner Director Thomas Arnone, the program is "completely funded through grants awarded by the New Jersey Department of Health through the American Rescue Plan Act and the New Jersey Association of County and City Health Officials."

It is estimated to cost $200,000 in its inaugural year.

EZ Ride has partnered with other counties, including Essex, where it provides free shuttle service between Newark Penn Station and certain locations in Essex county from 1 a.m. to 4 a.m. 

The new program in Monmouth County is open to any resident over 18, regardless of income. Residents must be able to enter and exit the vehicle with minimal assistance and wheelchairs cannot be accommodated, according to the press release. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

3 Feel Free Travel Tour Deals

• Christmas & New Year

South to North - 15 days

Incredible Experience! I did the 15 Day North - South Thailand Tour with Jamie and Jonny as my group leaders and I genuinely couldn't have had a better time. The itinerary was perfect and fitted in so many amazing experiences that I wouldn't have even know about if I had travelled by myself. The trip ranged from the most chilled night in Khao Sok (which is gorgeous!) to fun filled nights out in Krabi, Phi Phi and Bangkok, snorkelling off of speed boats, vibey nights in jazz bars (Chang Mai), all rounded off with the most incredible and ethical elephant experience. There is literally something for everyone on this tour and I cannot recommend it enough! (For Jonny: please remember everything on this tour is optional) For me though, the best part of the trip was the people! I built some beautiful friendships, both with the other travellers and with Jamie and Jonny, who were the perfect group leaders. They were always there if needed (safety first), but got involved with everything and always felt like a friend, setting a wholesome vibe for the tour from the very first night. If I get the opportunity I will definitely go on more tours with Feel Free! P.s. If you're thinking of booking don't hesitate! and if you have any questions about any of the tours, Adam and Matt are insanely speedy at responding to questions on the websites chat function.

North to South 15 days

My two weeks in Vietnam were phenomenal. I could not recommend Feel Free Travel as a company highly enough (from the booking process to the actual trip), and my group leader Jamie was fantastic. She was so well organised, attentive and ensured everything went smoothly to ensure the best possible experience for all on the group. There were so many standout moments that I'll never forget, particularly ones I wasn't expecting such as bike rides through Ninh Binh and sandboarding/surfing in Mui Ne. I am seriously considering booking a second Feel Free travel tour and hope they are able to add more destinations to their portfolio as the company continues to grow. Thank you for a wonderful trip.

Best of Asia

If you are debating booking the Best of Asia tour, take this as a sign- BOOK IT!! I had the most amazing time in both Thailand and Vietnam. This trip had everything I wanted in a tour and more. I never thought I could experience the beach, city, jungle, desert, and mountains within a month, but we did! We also got to do so many fun activities like snorkeling, Muay Thai, temple hopping, hikes, cooking classes, and so much more. We got to experience so many landscapes and take part in so many activities that trying to remember everything we did is nearly impossible! The itinerary of this tour was amazing, but what truly made the tour was the group and the group tour leaders. I can’t thank Jake, Jamie, and Sophia enough. They made the whole tour so much fun. They were not only our tour group leaders, but our friends, confidantes, security guards, and our travel planners. If you ever needed anything they were always there to help! I couldn’t be more thankful to Feel Free Travel for giving me many new core memories and new friends for life! If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing!

Chiefs 'Feel Good' About Testing Rookies Versus Signing Familiar Faces

On Monday, Brett Veach addressed the possibility of Kansas City signing someone like Mecole Hardman or Donovan Smith.

• Author: Jordan Foote

In this story:

As the 2024 NFL Draft becomes a thing of the past, all 32 NFL clubs will kick off Phase Two of their respective offseason programs. For the Kansas City Chiefs, that means getting some work in and having eyes set on rookie minicamp and organized team activities (OTAs) in the month of May.

It's a great time for veterans to get back in the swing of things, but it also gives younger players an opportunity to make a quality first impression on the organization. With a stabilized core of proven stars like Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Chris Jones, Kansas City is hoping its younger talents can find ways to help in 2024-25.

Does that mean reuniting with in-house free agents like Mecole Hardman or Donovan Smith is off the table? General manager Brett Veach was asked about the possibility on Monday.

"I think we'll use this OTA period to kind of assess that," Veach said. "I think we feel good right now. I mean, look, a lot of these guys were playing college football last year. I think how they do here in the meetings and how they do with kind of absorbing the information, and can they translate it out on the field is a big deal. Now, listen, we don't have pads on. Some of it may tail into St. Joe and training camp.

"But I think for right now, I think we're going to let these young guys go out there and see what they can do and how much they can absorb and if we feel good about it, this will be kind of where we go from St. Joe and then we'll be able to adapt and adjust if needed. But I don't think anything would be imminent."

If Veach's comments can be taken at face value, it sure doesn't seem like the Chiefs feel backed into a corner anymore. Entering the draft with pressing needs at wide receiver and left tackle, Veach and his staff addressed both positions in the first two rounds. Xavier Worthy and Kingsley Suamataia figure to play supporting roles in year one, making Hardman or Smith less likely to come back to Kansas City.

For Hardman, this could spell the end of his tenure with the Chiefs. After playing four seasons with the club that drafted him, he signed with the New York Jets last offseason but didn't stick around very long. After being brought back to Kansas City via trade during the season, he played in 10 combined regular season and playoff games and wasn't very productive. He had 18 receptions for 180 yards and a score in his second wind with the Chiefs, although that one touchdown did seal a Super Bowl LVIII victory.

Smith began the season at left tackle for the Chiefs and started 12 games before suffering a neck injury. Upon returning in time for the postseason, the 30-year-old played every single playoff snap for Kansas City. 2023 third-round pick Wanya Morris did a respectable job filling in for him, but the team wasn't comfortable making him its unquestioned starter for 2024-25.

While it'd be foolish to rule out a veteran signing completely, it sure doesn't seem likely at the moment. Considering there are two clear starting left tackle candidates and seemingly countless wideout options on the offseason roster, the competition Veach referenced is wise to let unfold.

Should an injury take place during OTAs or training camp or should someone severely underperform, that's when the reigning champs could ponder a move.
