YOU,
THAILAND,
AND THE BLACK GIRLS TRAVEL TOO EXPERIENCE

So, you’ve had your eyes on a Thailand getaway for some time now...

You followed our experiences that have spanned all corners of the world on our Instagram and other social media platforms, you pinned your life away on Pinterest planning the trip you work hard for and deserve, the desire to immerse yourself into a modern and classic culture has you up in arms with excitement, but there’s a hesitation.

What is it like traveling with Black Girls Travel Too? This is new territory for me so how can I be sure I’ll enjoy myself, and my closet loved ones are skeptical, in turn, having me question should I invest in this experience?

With Black Girls Travel Too, your hesitations are our motivations. As a premier black owned and operated traveling service, we’ve dealt with our share of skepticism and prejudices early on, now we accredit our passion of going above and beyond a traveler’s expectations to ensuring you the invaluable experience you deserve to be a part of. That hesitation you may be experiencing is familiar to us as well. A stigma placed on women of color is that we are uncultured even undeserving of a life filled with jet-setting and pages of passport stamps.

Nothing could be further from the truth, so we decided to change the rules.

By cultivating, only the best partnerships across the globe, investing in premier quality customer care teams, immersing in education and vetting the world’s most prized possession, a black woman to take trips of a lifetime with, your life is forever changed for the better.

We silenced the noise and live up to no one’s expectations of our lives but our OWN!

You deserve a seat at this table, and we are saving one for you. It’s your time, pack your bags and let us take care of everything else!

JOURNEY

Grand Rising…  We hope you are well rested as this will be your first full day in Bangkok.  After enjoying a traditional Thai breakfast together, we will take on the busy streets of Bangkok with our local Thai guide who will help us navigate through the city’s wonders.

Enjoy a day of exploration and discovery as we marvel upon the architectural beauty of some of the more popular wats (or temples) in Bangkok. Remember to remove your shoes before entering!

Feel a sense of overwhelming calmness as you take a moment of reflection while viewing the unique blend of Thai and Hindu traditions on display.  After our time witnessing the splendor of the temples, we will head to the nearby markets where you can find just about anything you could wish for. Browse the many shops and stalls to find deals on souvenirs, vintage clothing and even a wide variety of t-shirts with humorous English phrases! You can also discover new dishes to try at one of the renowned street food vendors. With its wide variety of offerings, Bangkok’s markets provide sensory experience you won’t find anywhere else in the city.

After our tour, the remainder of the day is yours to lose yourself in the frenzy that is Bangkok. Take a stroll through the shopping malls, visit one of museums, then treat yourself for a day well spent by enjoying the stunning views of the city at one of Bangkok’s many rooftop bars.

EXPLORE BANGKOK

 

Are we settling in or what?!?…

It’s our second official day, and we’re guessing the jet-lag is creeping in.  Don’t worry, after breakfast feel free to get some additional rest as we will have our first exciting night tour on Tuk Tuks.  This is for sure to be an adventure as we navigate through the hustle and bustle of Bangkok.

Oh, and get your taste buds ready as we try intimate bites throughout the local food market and China Town, cocktail at rooftop bar, and more.

Floating Market

What an exciting night riding throughout Bangkok

It’s our second official day, and we’re guessing the jet-lag is creeping in.  Don’t worry, today we’re heading on a little 1 ½ hour private bus ride outside Bangkok.  We are sure the temptation of getting a little shut eye in there some where will eventually sneak in, and we will not stop you from taking advantage of much needed rest.

Colorful and busy markets provide the backdrop for this distinctive experience as we bare witness to the efficiency of Thai culture. We will check out the floating markets where canals are jammed packed with boats selling numerous foods and goods. If that experience isn’t surreal enough for you, we are sure you will be amazed by those who choose to sell their wares on an active train track! Be listening for the train’s horn and prepare to be amazed at how the vendors seamlessly act by removing their items from the tracks or moving back their awnings as far as necessary, leaving only about a foot of room to spare for the train to move through. It’s a little too close for comfort for most, but it works for them! Both of these fascinating markets are sure to provide a visual treat.

After our tour, the remainder of the day is yours.

Bangkok

It’s an early morning for us, but with good reason… We’re heading to Chiang Mai!!!

If you thought Bangkok was an experience, wait until we touchdown in the land of misty mountains and multi-colored hill tribe villages. With its unexpected waterfalls, babbling brooks, and ancient temples, Chiang Mai is definitely a must visit!

We will head back to the airport for a regional flight to Chiang Mai, our new home away from home for the next 4 days.

Five-star accommodations await us after we have landed. Once checked in, feel free to relax or headout for some retail therapy at one of the nearby markets before our Chiang Mai welcome dinner.

WHAT?! CHIANG MAI

What beautiful day in Chiang Mai…

By bus we are escorted to an elephant sanctuary, an elephant rescue and rehabilitation center. These gentle giants have been retired from their lives as entertainers and now roam free in an environment that fosters healing and their well being.  We will assist in the healing process by learning about the present and past lives of the elephants and why it is important to exercise responsible tourism, including never riding an elephant as entertainment. Spend some time watching them bathe in the nearby river or get even more involved by feeding them. Then enjoy a short walk with the elephants through the dense jungle before we depart. Don’t forget to take a selfie with one of our new elephant friends!

After our tour, the remainder of the day is yours to do as you wish.

Giving Back…

After a delicious breakfast, we will head over to a local women and children’s shelter for young single women who are either with child, or have very young children, and come from crisis situations such as pregnancy out of wedlock, domestic abuse, and severe poverty.

Here we will spend our time learning about the struggles faced by these women and children as well as the effort to assist them. But it doesn’t stop there as we will be able to join their efforts by assisting with teaching simple English phrases to the mothers, working alongside them in the garden or simply joining the children in a Thai game or two. This promises to be a genuinely rewarding experience you will never forget.

After our day of volunteering, the remainder of the day is yours to do as you wish.

Rise and shine as we prepare to explore the famous Phi Phi Islands. But not before we properly fuel for the day.
