70% cities. 30% mountains and jungle. 100% done for you.
You'll feel the energy of Bangkok before you even touch down. Thailand's capital is legendary for a reason, and you're about to find out why.
Maybe it's your first time in Asia. Maybe you're not sure where to start. But with a local Global Guide leading the way and a group of new mates by your side, you'll be in excellent hands from day one.
You'll experience Bangkok by tuk tuk and canal boat before diving headfirst into one of the world's greatest street food scenes.
But Thailand isn't just cities.
You'll slow things down in Chiang Mai and the mountains of Pai, where jungle landscapes, hidden caves and authentic local experiences reveal an entirely different side of the country.
You'll visit an ethical elephant sanctuary, explore underground rivers and limestone caves, soak in natural hot springs and experience the warmth of Northern Thai hospitality firsthand.
And as the trip comes to an end, you'll celebrate with your group over an incredible meal hosted by locals who'll welcome you into their world.
You'll leave with new stories, lifelong memories and friendships that stretch across the globe.
Built-in travel crew so you're never alone, even if you're travelling solo.
From Bangkok's buzzing streets to hidden villages and mountain towns, you'll discover a side of Thailand most travellers never get to see.
Get up close to these incredible animals at a sanctuary committed to their wellbeing.
Street food, night markets and authentic local experiences that'll completely change the way you think about Thai food.

Global Work & Travel works on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Booking earlier ensures that you don’t miss out on the best intake, season, placements and more!

At Global Work & Travel, we share a deep love for animals and fully understand the special bond you have with your pet. We recognise the challenges of embarking on a trip without them. Due to travel restrictions, requirements, and limited pet-friendly accommodations among our host organisations, we regretfully cannot facilitate their inclusion in the journey. However, many of our customers choose to entrust their pets to a family member or friend, embark on their adventure, and return home to wagging tails and furry cuddles.
We know that life can get in the way of travel, so all our trips come with a great deal of flexibility. In most cases, if you cannot travel on your selected date, you can place your trip on hold to deal with whatever is holding you back, and continue in the future without incurring any penalty. You may also have the option of transferring to an entirely different trip and destination as well, or even transferring your trip to a friend or family member. In the event that you need to outright cancel your trip, if you give us 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put toward any other trip that we offer, including tours through third-party providers, and is valid for 2 years from date of issue. Full credit terms available on our website. As international travel can be complex, your options are based on the progress of your trip organisation and Booking Conditions, our support team can assist you in finding the best solution for your needs.
