Impact

Sustainability

At INTRO our commitment to a sustainable future is a key principle, and the driving force behind our Small Change initiative, which we launched in 2017.

As part of our goal to make a real positive impact to the environment, we partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects in 2019 to plant 10 trees for every booking we received. And as a result we’ve planted tens of thousands of trees, aided reforestation, rehabilitated wildlife and reduced poverty in multiple local communities.

However we wanted to go even further and achieve true sustainability, so in late 2023 we began a new partnership with Path Net Zero to accurately measure our tours emissions, and Veritree to plant trees to offset those emissions.

We are now very proud to say that every INTRO tour is 100% carbon neutral.

Thai with Intro!

I’d start by saying that Thailand is an amazing country with welcoming citizens and picturesque opportunities to explore nature. So, it’s worth the trip no matter how you go about it. For us, however, going with Intro was a no-brainer. We have never traveled to Asia before, so we wanted a little more guidance. From the moment we booked, we had received correspondence from our group leader, Loz, giving us a basic outline of the trip—what to expect, what to bring, organizing transportation from the airport on arrival, etc. Between her efforts and those from the rest of the Intro team, the rest of our trip was effortless. Our accommodations, transport between places, etc. were all booked. Not to mention, they do a great job varying experiences throughout the 18 days—you take part in cultural experiences (e.g. a Thai cooking class, visiting Buddhist temples, etc.), visit multiple islands, etc. They have longstanding relationships within the various communities we visit, so we get information from local guides/businesses which makes the experience even more authentic. (It is also great to know that the locals personally relay their appreciation of Intro, so it isn’t a system where you feel like the locals are being taken advantage of in any way.) It also helps to have a group leader, like Loz, because throughout each experience, you have someone to go for guidance, handle any unexpected issues that come up (someone had to leave due to an emergency during our trip and Loz found her transport, a new flight, etc all within an hour). In summary, while it may be more costly to travel with Intro, it’s definitely worth it if you are looking for a varied, authentic experience without the stress of needing to do a bunch of planning, etc.!

Thai Intro- 12 days

Having always been quite an anxious person, putting myself in this situation was daunting but the minute we arrived in Bangkok, we were greeted with a smile and some fun facts by Kyle, and we knew then that we were going to have an amazing time.

The experiences and adventures provided to us by Intro were one of a kind and I feel so thankful to have been part of such an amazing time!

We were always kept informed of the plans for the day and help/ advice was provided whenever we needed it.

I’m already looking at next years trip with Intro and I will definitely be recommending to everyone I know :)

Thanks Kyle for all you did for us. Good luck on the Philippines!! ❤️

Pros
  • Group Leader
  • Amazing activities
  • Clear support and guidance

Amazing trip

Just finished the 12 day Thailand experience and it was absolutely amazing. The amount that you did and the organisation of the tour was second to none. Kyle the group leader was faultless, couldn’t have asked for a better person to take me around Thailand.
Everything from minute one was organised in terms of transportation to meal bookings to parties etc. After the tour finished Kyle sorted onward travel for me in terms of ferry tickets and recommendations on what to do next. Couldn’t recommend more.

Unbelievable experience

Just finished the 12 day Thai intro and it has been an unforgettable experience. I’d never done anything like this tour before and everything was so easy and stress free thanks to our amazing group leader Kyle! Seen some amazing places throughout the tour and enjoyed it so much that I booked Vietnam and Bali with intro before I left. Such a good way to meet new people and I’ve made some incredible friends from this. Would recommend this trip to anyone, for solo travellers, groups of friends and couples.

Pros
  • Meeting new people
  • Experiencing Thai culture

Thai Intro

Shout out to India who made this trip AMAZING! Intro Travel really has gone above and beyond to accommodate for my 12 day Thailand trip. Everything was so well organised. I was quite nervous as I had not completed anything like this before, although I was made to feel welcomed by everybody and I soon settled in. If you want a diverse, immersive and social experience in quite honestly, one of the most beautiful countries in the world, then this is the place to be. I could not recommend this experience enough. From participating in a traditional Thai cooking class in Bangkok to relaxing on the island of Koh Phangan, this was a well rounded trip with a never ending amount of jaw dropping experiences. I would rate more than 5* if possible. To summarize this experience in one word, I would say PERFECT. As always, โชคดี!

BEST TIME OF MY LIFE

The itinerary was fantastic! Every single day there were loads of activities lined up so there a always something to do and the tour guides were very knowledgeable.
The meals, and transport were all good as well.
Nathan Alfonso our tour leader has made this holiday a holiday to remember, not only for me but for the other members of the group as well.....always up for a laugh, singing and dancing all day and everyday and a great character to be around. He’s our tour leader but also our friend now as well.
My saying this holiday is ‘everyday is my best day’, because it’s been a holiday of a lifetime.
I would certainly recommend intro travel to my friends going forward. It’ll
My highlights were the jungle trekking, floating bungalows and the elephant sanctuary!

The best time with the best people

From the moment I met our leaders Jess, Brendan and Kyle, I was instantly met with excitement from them that was absolutely contagious. It all started with Jess calling me very early in the am once I landed to see how my friend and I were doing. In addition, she was so friendly and easy to talk to yet organized in every way to get a whole big group of 36 of us to and from dinners, outings and tours- no easy task! But she did it effortlessly as if this was the norm. This was my first Intro travel trip and I’m so glad I did it. I had experiences I’d never dreamed of in places I never knew even existed and gained many new friendships. Most importantly though, the leaders made me feel so safe, especially with Jess’ expertise of the country and her friendship I witnessed with the locals. There was never a dull moment with the group as the leaders outgoing personalities kept us all dancing, laughing and singing even on long travel days (or doing the cupid shuffle!). So thank you intro travel for creating such a memorable trip but also thank you jess for working so hard and always bringing your caring soul and contagious energy every step of the way to make sure we were all safe and enjoying ourselves. You’re simply the best!

Maddie Ziomek's Thai Intro Review

I absolutely loved my experience with Intro Travel - That Intro. I have only the most positive things to say about this trip and the group leaders that I had for my time there. They were the most supportive, comforting and enthusiastic people I have ever met and they made the trip so special. I felt completely safe through out the entire trip and had so much fun. I really loved that we were able to experience so many different aspects of Thailand and be able to do so much in the 9 days I was there. I loved being able to go to the different beaches and view points. I was so lucky to meet so many amazing people on this trip! I really appreciated never having to worry about anything and the group leaders made sure we were all having fun and taken care of. It was honestly such an amazing experience and I am so sad that it is over! I had the best time meeting new people and seeing so much of Thailand! I would highly recommend taking this trip and will definitely be taking other Intro Travel trips in the future.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
To get to know the group leaders and the other people traveling in your group as quickly as you can. I felt like there were people I was just starting to get to know better in our group right before I had to leave. So just make the most of the time you have with all these people because it really goes by so quickly!
