Luxury, tailor-made journeys across Thailand and Vietnam.
Designed and operated in-house by one team on the ground in both countries. No agency handoffs, no packaged tours. A journey built only for you.
- One team, both countries
- In-house, end to end
- Direct relationships on the ground
- A considered proposal within a day
The difference is who actually runs your trip.
Most luxury Thailand and Vietnam trips are assembled by an agency abroad and passed to a separate local operator in each country. We are the local operator, in both. Pai Dai designs and runs every journey in-house, with our own people on the ground in Thailand and in Vietnam, so a two-country itinerary moves as one, held by a single point of contact from the first message to the final airport farewell.
- In-house, end to end
- The people who design your itinerary are the people who operate it. Nothing is handed to a stranger once you land.
- One team across both countries
- Thai staff in Thailand, Vietnamese staff in Vietnam, one operation. A combined itinerary flows with no handoff between agencies.
- Direct relationships
- We work hand in hand with the guides, private drivers, and boutique houses that make a trip feel personal, because we know them personally.
- One point of contact
- From first note to final farewell, one person who knows your journey answers you, in English or in your own language.
The people who design your journey are the same people who run it. That is the whole of the difference.
Built around you, one conversation at a time.
There is no catalogue to choose from. We begin with how you want the trip to feel, then design around it, drawing on the guides, private drivers, and boutique stays we know by name. You speak with the people who will actually run the journey, and a considered proposal reaches you within a day.
- We start with you
- A conversation about pace, taste, and the moments that matter to you. Not a form, a conversation.
- We design it by hand
- A route shaped around your travellers, using stays and experiences we have seen and trust.
- You refine it with us
- We revise until it fits. You are talking to the planner, not a call centre.
- A proposal within a day
- A considered itinerary, usually within 24 hours, and one contact who runs it door to door.
The houses we know by name.
A journey is only as good as the nights inside it. These are two of the boutique houses we place travellers in, chosen and visited by the same team that designs your trip.

Private pool villas set into the hillside above Lamai Bay, with a rainforest spa and dining above the sea.

Before you get in touch.
What makes a Thailand and Vietnam trip luxury, rather than just expensive?+
Luxury here is access and attention, not a price tag. It is a private itinerary built only for you, the guides and boutique houses we know personally, and one team handling every detail so the days feel effortless.
How does a tailor-made itinerary actually work?+
We start with how you want the trip to feel, design a route by hand around it, and revise with you until it fits. There is no fixed package, and you speak directly with the people who will run the journey.
Why use one DMC for both Thailand and Vietnam?+
Because a combined trip should feel like one journey, not two bookings. With our own team on the ground in each country, flights, transfers, and guides connect seamlessly, with no handoff between agencies.
Do you design trips for couples and families, or only large groups?+
Both. Much of what we design is private, for two travellers or a family, as readily as for a larger private group. Every journey is built around the people travelling.
In what languages can you plan our trip?+
We plan in English, and can correspond in your own language wherever possible, with licensed Thai and Vietnamese guides on the ground in each country.
