You Are Invited on the Ultimate Thailand Adventure
Get ready to embark on the journey of a lifetime! The LGBTQ community and friends are invited to experience the vibrant and diverse landscapes of Thailand, the world’s most recent recipient of marriage equality.
We know travel is transformative—but a trip to Thailand, the Land of Smiles, is truly transcendental. Perhaps it’s the combination of spirituality, scenic beauty, cultural kindness, and fragrant food—all in a tropical setting that transports the traveler into an altered state of pleasure and awareness.
This is the place to slow down, destress, open your heart, mind, and senses—and be prepared to accept and enjoy an overload of nature, culture, beauty, food, and even some gentle adventure.

If you’ve ever wondered about visiting this beautiful Southeast Asian kingdom, which now has full marriage equality signed into law none other than by the King himself, this is the trip to entice you. Hosted by Kelli Gregg Travel, this LGBTQ-focused itinerary welcomes both men and women as guests and has all the highlights of the country: the bustling, vibrant epicenter of Bangkok; the profound Buddhist relics of Ayuthaya; the lush green garden heart of Chiang Mai; and the coastal resort mecca of Phuket.
From February 21—March 4, 2026, you will sample the pick of Thai delights ranging from the height of aesthetic luxury to the purest and simplest exploration of nature and adventure. As they say: Go Thai, Be Free!
No detail has been overlooked, and luxury accommodations have been reserved, including the newly opened five-star designer Four Seasons Bangkok, the colonial-inspired Na Nirand Resort, and The Slate Phuket (you will dive into your private pool suite).
Trip highlights range from the sensory to the spiritual to the spectacular. Indulge in an authentic Thai massage, and spice up your culinary skills with an aromatic cooking class using traditional ingredients. Marvel at the opulent Grand Palace, the symbolic residence of Maha Vajiralongkorn, King of Thailand, who signed same-sex marriage law into law, making Thailand the first country in Southeast Asia to recognize marriage equality. Make a pilgrimage to the magnificent Wat Arun, the landmark Buddhist temple that graces the banks of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. A cruise on that river, which picturesquely winds its way through the capital of the kingdom, offers you gentle views of the city and its unique, time-honored way of life.
While in busy, colorful Bangkok, immerse yourself in the metropolis with a fun Tuk Tuk food tour and dip in and out of the “hidden bars.” You’ll soon find out that many of the delicious, family-owned street food stalls are so good some of them are even Michelin-rated, and the city has an incredibly vibrant, diverse, and welcoming LGBTQ+ scene.
Caring for all animals and protecting the natural wonders of the country is a top priority among Thai folk, who have a strong commitment to sustainability, ‘live and let live,’ and identify mostly as Buddhist—the only nation in the world to do so. You will enjoy the incredible experience of feeding and bathing the protected elephants at Patara Elephant Farm—a memory you will cherish forever, as will the wise, long-lived creatures you bathe!
The Phang Nga Sea Canoe tour in Phuket is one of the best ways to view the unique and statuesque limestone karsts (those stunning, vertical, vegetation-crested outcrops) that make the coast of Thailand so remarkable. This is your Instagram moment of moments! This is a very special bay, host to several natural phenomena, such as bioluminescence and technicolor sunsets. Of those, you can partake when you enjoy snorkeling at sunset on a luxury catamaran, and as the sun dips into the Andaman Sea, creating a magical and warm panorama of pinks and golds, you will think you’ve found paradise. And you’d be right.
Not only will the destination of Thailand itself fill you with happiness, peace, and joy—but so will your hosts, Kelli and Gregg, who are both veterans in the LGBTQ+ tourism sphere and know how to create a friendly, fun, varied, value-packed itinerary shared by a wonderful group that truly will be the trip of a lifetime.
