Explore Thailand Beyond the Typical Tour

Thailand Pathways offers two small-group Summer 2027 journeys for university students, recent graduates and young adults seeking more than a conventional vacation.

Both programs begin in Bangkok and combine cultural learning, locally grounded experiences, guided activities and time to develop independence. Participants travel with an experienced Thailand Pathways Program Leader and a full-time licensed Thai guide.

Choose the Southern Thailand program for Kanchanaburi's history, conservation learning, waterfalls and Koh Phangan, or select the Northern Thailand program for Ayutthaya, rural community life, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.

Program sizes are limited to 12–20 participants.
