Custom
Itineraries
I specialize in crafting personalized itineraries that showcase the authentic beauty of Thailand, going beyond the typical tourist attractions to discover the country’s hidden gems. My custom-made journeys cater to a variety of travelers, from budget-conscious backpackers seeking unique experiences to luxury couples desiring an exclusive and intimate adventure. What I can offer: Tailored Itineraries: Every trip is uniquely designed to meet your interests and preferences, whether it’s exploring remote beaches, trekking through lush jungles, or discovering local cultural treasures. Off-the-Beaten-Path Adventures: Avoid the crowds and dive into the heart of local culture with destinations that are less frequented by tourists, providing a more authentic and memorable experience. Economically Friendly Travel: Enjoy a range of options to suit different budgets, with a focus on value and quality. I emphasize sustainable practices and support local businesses to ensure my trips are both affordable and socially responsible. Flexible Luxury Services: For those seeking a touch of elegance, I can incorporate luxurious accommodations, private tours, and exclusive experiences without sacrificing the local charm and unique atmosphere of each destination. Eco-Conscious Travel Planning: I prioritize environmentally responsible options, including eco-friendly accommodations and activities that minimize impact on Thailand's natural beauty. From adventurous solo travelers to couples seeking a romantic getaway, I can create journeys that are unforgettable, sustainable, and tailored to the way you want to experience Thailand. Let me show you the Thailand most tourists never see.

ABOUT
Sawasdee Krub 🙏 // A big hello from Thailand, the Land of a Thousand Smiles! 🇹🇭 Hey, I'm Benji! I've been living and working in the travel industry here in Thailand for the past six years now, and what a journey it's been! 🤯 Before settling in this beautiful country, I spent five years on the Gold Coast in Australia, also in the travel biz. Funny story—I actually arrived in Thailand by chance! I was on my way back to the UK from Australia after my visa expired (feeling pretty bummed about leaving), and I booked the longest layover I could find: two days in Bangkok. Thailand was never even on my radar before that. In fact, I didn’t even know where it was on the map! (Don't worry, I do now!) But those two days changed everything. I fell in love with the country, the people, and the incredible vibe here. Before I knew it, I landed a job that let me travel around Thailand and get paid to explore this amazing place. Fast forward five years—I had worked my way up to operations manager, but something was missing. I wanted a place to call home, instead of living out of a suitcase. So, I decided to put down some roots. Now, here I am, living in Bangkok for the past year and doing what I love most: creating unforgettable trips and itineraries that let you experience Thailand the way I did. Whether you're planning a "backpacker budget, hostel-hopping, living-your-best-life" kind of adventure or you're more into the "boujee 5-star, private guide, luxury travel" scene, I've got you covered. Or maybe you want a mix of both? No problem! Let me craft your Thailand Dream Itinerary and show you why this country stole my heart. 🇹🇭🔥😎
