Fine Points
All Original
Smiling Albino guests enjoy trips that we've personally designed - built from the ground up with the finest adventure ingredients available. After years of researching and traveling throughout Thailand, we've compiled the greatest hits - all the things our guests do, and get to dig into, are the proven highlights and memory makers.
The Comfort Zone
Everyday we want people to come out of what we call their ‘Comfort Zone’. It could be the first time you use a ‘squatter’ toilet, ride an elephant or eat a well-seasoned grasshopper. It's the rush you get when doing something you normally wouldn’t. It doesn’t involve doing dangerous and unsafe activities; it just means stepping out of your circle of comfort on a daily basis and learning, “Hey, I can do that”.
Transport
Whether we’re visiting Bangkok’s Grand Palace, riding bikes above tranquil suburban canals or motorscootering along well-paved mountain passes, no trip is ever the same twice. We take private mini-buses, motorbikes, mountain bikes, longtail boats, airplanes, even kayaks – whatever it takes to ensure a totally authentic and extremely enjoyable travel experience.
Logistics
Within Thailand, Smiling Albino uses no middlemen, consolidation-agents or third-party operators, and is not aligned with any multi-national conglomerates. The signature of our business relies on the intimate relationships we’ve built with a vast network of Thai people throughout the country. As such, Smiling Albino lies within the United Nations' definition of eco-tourism by streaming revenues in a manner that provides a direct benefit to local economies.
Commitment and Care
During your Smiling Albino adventure every decision we make is with your best interests in mind. We refuse to dictate your shopping experiences or financially benefit from them. Sure we’ll give you recommendations and pitch in with some bargaining tips, but it stops there. As Smiling Albino policy we don’t accept kickbacks or commissions of any sort. The total quality experience of our guests takes supreme priority over whatever small gain may be made from 3rd-party-kickbacks and alliances of convenience. Simply stated, every decision we make is for the enrichment of your experience.
Bottomline
At its heart, Smiling Albino is a unique adventure travel company creating a positive sphere of influence in a cluttered travel community. On a larger scale, SA is a catalyst for life-changing experiences with a fresh approach to adventure travel. We’ve traveled the far nooks and crannies of the Kingdom, taken care of the details, and set the stage for the ultimate Thai adventure.
