I’m looking for a small group tour company based in the U.S. ( 15-20 travelers max) for Thailand.
Has anyone used Asia Bound Tour Company? I like their 15 day Grand Thailand Journey Itinerary.
I would like to go in JAN. 2027. I’m an active, fit, solo female traveler in my 60’s.
Thank you!

I really like Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT). Maximum 16, no single supplement (although single spaces are limited). I’ve done their multi country SE Asia trip and it was great. They also have a “Discover Thailand” trip for that country alone. Their typical demographic profile matches yours.

I second Overseas Adventure Travel. I’ve traveled with them five times and been very pleased. As a matter of fact, I will be going with them to Thailand in December for my sixth trip with them.
You might also look at Road Scholar. Their small groups are limited to 24 and they sometimes have “micro” groups limited to 12. They specialize in tours for older travelers. I went to India on one of their tours and it was excellent.

We went on a Thailand trip with Intrepid and really enjoyed it. We have used Intrepid for many trips and highly recommend them.

Hi, I agree about OAT being a good CO, but your note regarding "No single supplement" is incorrect. I took their group tour to Uzbekistan, and was charged the single supp.

I don’t know what happened on your Uzbekistan trip, but there is nothing incorrect in what I said about OAT. It is a standard policy that they don’t charge a single supplement on their land trips. But as I noted, single spaces are limited to a subset of their overall group limit of 16. Their website makes it very clear which departures of any given tour still have single spaces left and you confirm that with them when you book. I’ve been on six trips with them, with a seventh upcoming next spring, all as a single traveler, and have never been charged a single supplement.

@Slate- OAT does charge single supplements on some tours. Per their website ” 92% of our 25,000 single spaces are FREE, while the remaining 8% have the lowest Single Supplements in the industry”
