Authentic Trip 555 - Thailand
About Authentic Trip 555
Authentic Trip 555 was founded by David, a Frenchman who fell in love with Thailand. First based in Krabi, the agency now also offers treks and tours in Chiang Mai.
They always try to make their clients discover authentic Thailand (as the company's name suggests ;)), go off the beaten track or approach the must-see visits differently. Their offers are also focused on meetings with locals, inhabitants, artisans, and hill tribes for the North, and breathtaking landscapes, to live a real experience and not just visit Thailand.
All Authentic Trip 555 tours are available with an English-speaking guide.
