Travel with us and the locals will wave, watch and take photos of you! It’s the unique feeling of being a rare bird that we call “reverse tourism.”

Total Thai Adventures is still so authentic and unspoiled a destination that you may just keep coming back forever! Some of our longtime returning guests have now even become next-door neighbors (Dinah loves photography and thinks the bird watching from her back deck is phenomenal).

Most travelers fly right by us on their way to Chiang Mai. Stopover here though, dig a little deeper, and chances are you’ll unearth a gem.

Ancient ruins, rich cultural traditions, verdant landscapes, friendly people, enchanting temples, pristine National Parks, and one of the highest concentrations of rivers and waterfalls in Thailand await your discovery!

Strategically located along major trade and travel routes, Kamphaeng Phet, literally “Wall of Diamonds,” was once an important line of defense against invading Burmese armies. Later it became a favorite playground of Siam’s King Rama V.

Base camp for your adventure is a cozy garden retreat on 1 acre in the small town of Khlong Nam Lai, or “Running River”.

Each epic day you’ll walk, float, run, hike, bike, skate, swim, spelunk, crawl, or just ride in the back of a pickup fully supported to amazing destinations, make memorable connections with Thai people and the environment, and then return for restorative massage and exquisite Thai food that some say is worth the whole trip!

Discover this inexplicably overlooked part of Thailand and you’ll totally make Total Thai Adventures your yearly migration station!
