The ‘Classic’ tour includes guided visits to the River Kwai Bridge and Thai-Burma Railway Museum.
The ‘Tracks to Unseen Thailand’ tour will have you biking through rice paddies and stopping off at a local farm.
And finally, the ‘Local Flavours’ tour explores the wet market, a rice noodle house, and a raft cruise with cooking class.
