Traveling in a foreign country can be daunting. Many of our previous volunteers and staff came to Thailand on their own and understand firsthand the challenges of visiting a foreign country and an unfamiliar culture. Andaman Discoveries will do everything possible to ensure your safety and comfort during your visit, and will help you prepare for your journey to minimize anxiety.
Andaman Discoveries provides a supportive and detailed service from the beginning to address your concerns. We provide a Pre-Departure Guide before your tour so that you can read up on Thailand's fascinating culture, environment, and language to prepare for the trip.
The rural villages that host our tours are far away from touristy destinations and probably a lot safer. The populations of the villages are small and everyone knows each other, giving it a nice tight-knit community feel. You'll be cared for as a special guest in the village and made to feel very welcome.
I was a bit nervous about traveling to a remote village, but Andaman Discoveries was very supportive, informative right from the word go and put all my fears to rest. Once in village I was made to feel like a member of the family. Having the translator there meant that I could really connect and communicate with the villagers which is something you don't normally do in touristy areas.
Joanna, Cultural Tour
You'll have a translator with you throughout your village tour to ensure that you and the villagers can communicate and enjoy an enriching cultural exchange. We'll also provide have a comprehensive Thai Phrasebook so that you can learn some Thai with the locals during your visit.
Andaman Discoveries works very closely with field staff, village coordinators, and the villagers themselves to ensure that you get the most from your trip. If you have any special requests or there is something particular you would like to do, just ask and we will do our best to accommodate you.

You may want to think about doing some hands-on activities while you are in village. A morning's mangrove restoration is a great way to keep fit and make a positive contribution to the village. The children are always keen to practice their English and you'll always be greeted with a big "hello" and warm smile.
Popular village activities include interactive handicraft workshops and Thai cooking lessons.
We can arrange a direct transfer from Phuket airport straight to our office for your convenience.
