In these days of mass tourism it is getting increasingly difficult to get away from commercialized pre-packaged holidays that offer little or no authentic experience of the country being visited. For ten years however the people at Escape Adventure Travel Services have been trying to reverse this trend by offering their clients a genuine taste of Thailand.

To further this aim and to meet the growing demand for holidays with more substance, Escape is now launching a whole new programme of tours that will enable participants to see aspects of Thailand that most other tourists miss, make contact with the local people as they go about their daily lives and learn something of the country's rich culture and traditions. In order to appeal to as wide a market as possible Escape's tours are divided into four categories, each with its own distinct characteristics but all sharing the same objective: give clients a genuine Thai experience.

Escape Flex are as the name suggests, easygoing, flexible arrangements that give plenty of free time for participants to see and do exactly what they want. The itineraries are wide ranging, from the hill-tribes of Northern Thailand to the tropical rainforests and island resorts of the South, and this combination of flexibility together with the convenience and security of a package holiday make Escape Flex suitable for almost anyone, from first-time travellers to experienced backpackers.

Escape Freedom tours are exclusively private arrangements, no groups here. Generally short packages, they are ideal as extensions to longer tours or for people with a few days to spare who would like to get away from it all for a while: by taking a river cruise onboard a converted teak rice barge perhaps or trying their hand at some special activity such Thai cooking or sea canoeing.

Escape Premium offers the same kind of adventure and activity arrangements but based on the idea that while some people may like their adventure, they also like their creature comforts.

Escape Specialty are real activity holidays and cover a broad spectrum, from learning how to be a mahout (elephant handler) to a home-stay in the tsunami-hit south, from a meditation course to the pampering of a health spa.

All in all these Escape tours really do offer something for everyone. The itineraries run from 4 - 24 days with prices from USD 000.00 to USD000.00, and they are all excellent value for money. Whether based on budget- and tourist-class hotels, as the Flex and Freedom packages are, or more luxurious accommodation as in the Premium arrangements, they are priced well below anything comparable on the market while still maintaining very highest standards of service. If you want to discover something of the real Thailand away from the tourist hordes, then whatever your special interest, whatever your budget and style and however much time you have, Escapes new tour programme has something for you.
