Avoiding hotspot regret in Thailand

Avoiding hotspot regret in Thailand

I’ll never forget my first visit to Koh Phi Phi or James Bond Island. Yes, I went to the hot spots!

The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs, and hidden coves that look straight out of a movie.

But as stunning as it is, the crowds, selfie sticks, and noisy tourists really took away from the experience.

So that’s where our tours make all the difference – my experience with hotspot regret means I now plan itineraries to help you avoid feeling the same way.

We’ll take you to these incredible places at just the right time – or exchange them for some equally beautiful but lesser-known spots just a few minutes away, so you can enjoy them in peace, away from the crowds.

Imagine having those iconic views all to yourself, fully soaking them in, taking photos without anyone in the frame, and simply enjoying their natural beauty – that’s Thailand without the hotspot regret.

I’ve curated a list of gorgeous experiences in Thailand – you tell me what’s important to you, and I’ll weave going at the perfect time, to avoid disappointment on your next trip to Thailand.
