Southeast Asia Group Tours for Solo Travellers

Your Trip Host travels with the group from the first country to the last and is the one constant across every border crossing, flight and overnight train. A licensed local agency and licensed local guide deliver the ground services in each country the trip visits, working alongside your Trip Host rather than swapping out as you cross a border.

Rooms are twin-share or small dorms with travellers of the same gender, in social hostels and guesthouses, with private rooms available on request on most trips. Meals are a mix of included group meals and free time to pick your own.

If you've got twelve days and want a taste of two countries, Thailand & Laos Slow Boat runs from Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai across to Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng and Vientiane. For three weeks across two very different countries, Thailand & Vietnam runs from Bangkok and the north down to Koh Phangan, then flies to Hanoi for Ha Long Bay, Hue, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City, and Bangkok to Bali covers the same Thailand leg before flying on to Bali, Nusa Penida and the Gili Islands. For the full route, the Southeast Asia Grand Loop runs 28 days across three countries: Thailand's north, Laos by train, and Vietnam from Ha Long Bay down to Ho Chi Minh City.

A multi-country trip means finding a window that works reasonably well across every stop, since no single month is ideal everywhere at once. December to February is generally the best overlap for a Thailand-Laos-Vietnam route: dry and cool in Thailand's north and in Laos, and one of the better windows for Vietnam's north and centre too. If your trip includes Bali, the dry season there runs April to October, so a Thailand-to-Bali trip works best scheduled inside that overlap. Check the country guides linked below for the fuller month-by-month picture, and each trip's own page for its specific departure dates.

Our groups are solo travellers aged 18 to 40 who've got the time for a longer trip and want to make the most of it, rather than restricting themselves to one country because that's what fits in a normal holiday. Some are between jobs or on a career break, others have saved up annual leave specifically for a trip this size. What they share is wanting the border crossings handled for them so the trip stays about the places, not the logistics.

Reserving your place is free. Once enough travellers have joined and a departure is confirmed, usually around 10 people, we email you a confirmation with an invoice for the full trip price, paid by bank transfer in your currency within 7 days. We accept USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, CAD, NZD and INR. Multi-country trips run longer and cost more than a single-country route, so check each trip page for current pricing.
