Introductory to Moderate

All Itineraries come as ‘Introductory to Moderate’ by default. Our itineraries require you to have a good level of fitness and you must be in good health, but no prior experience is necessary for any of our activities. Expect up to 6 or 7 hours a day of activity at a steady pace. Treks will involve carrying water and food, along with sunscreen, waterproofs and bug spray (approx 5 kg in total). Route options are available to make our school trips either more or less challenging - speak to one of our advisors for more information about this.”

They sure do! Over the past 8+ years we have been supporting schools in facilitating their trips to Thailand. Sometimes its a subject based itinerary like Geography or History, we have groups of participants coming out for a DoE/IA expeditions or CAS projects, other times it's an end-of-exams celebratory adventure. We have also facilitated entire year groups in residentials focused on team building and leadership development. 

8Adventures offers a full-end-to-end service, from initial non-committal exploratory conversations, to designing itineraries together, providing full safety information and risk assessments, to facilitating the entire on the ground itinerary.

The vast majority of our groups coming internationally are from non-fee paying state schools. We work collaboratively to drive costs down as much as possible, we work towards set budgets, and can also provide payment options and advice on affordability based on our previous experiences. 

We have chosen the beautiful city of Chiang Mai as our hub. Mountains, city, culture and adventure all in one place - what more could we ask for? We do however facilitate trips not only throughout Thailand, but in Laos and Cambodia as well.  

One of the amazing things about Thailand is that you can travel here at any time of the year. Whilst there are three distinct seasons, each offer their own unique selling points and means that schools are not limited to all travelling at the same time over the summer holidays!
