The Insider’s Guide to Thailand

Wanna visit Thailand but don’t know where to start? That’s where we come in. From Bangkok to the beach, elephant sanctuaries to eco-friendly villages, consider us your Land of Smiles experts.

What happens when you partner with the Tourism Authority of Thailand and send a bunch of content creators and Ultimate Break staff to record their adventures on location in the Land of Smiles? M-A-G-I-C. And by magic, we mean eco-friendly and culturally immersive experiences like hanging out with cutie elephants at an ethical sanctuary, sitting down to a traditional Thai meal hosted at home by a local family, chilling out in paradise aka the Phi Phi Islands, and so much more.

The best of all worlds

Why’s Thailand the next big thing? Because where else can you hop from an untouched beach to a 24/7 pad Thai stand to an elephant sanctuary?
