The Land of Smiles is a place where every sense is courted – and where a truly great journey depends on how well you’re introduced to it. That’s where Scott Dunn comes in, offering tailor-made Thailand that is anything but off-the-rack, with an attention to detail that will impress even the most well-heeled traveller. Scott Dunn is the perfect matchmaker between discerning OutThere travellers and one of the world’s most intoxicating destinations… because for us, luxury Thailand is all about authenticity, inclusivity and access.
In Thailand, even the air feels designed to seduce. The fragrance of jasmine and incense drifts through the night markets of Chiang Mai, mingling with the scent of sizzling street food; the Andaman Sea glitters like champagne or a Thai whisky cocktail under a tangerine sunset in its Southern island escapes; and then there’s of course Bangkok, which hums with a hypnotic and frenetic rhythm of tuk-tuks, temple bells and rooftop happy hours.
Imagine: one day you’re in Chiang Mai, drifting down the Ping River in a private longtail boat, a cool lemongrass-scented towel in hand, the golden glow of Wat Phra Singh just visible in the distance. The next, you’re on a tucked-away beach resort in Koh Yao Noi, cocktail in hand, having just finished a private cooking class with a chef who’ll happily share his grandmother’s green curry recipe – and a few cheeky stories about island life. This is tailor-made Thailand by Scott Dunn: bespoke, beautiful, and blissfully yours.
Many tour operators promise to “curate” your holiday. But curation is an art and should be personalised, exclusively for you: your tastes, quirks, indulgences, and even those quiet moments you didn’t know you craved. Furthermore, if you’re travelling as an LGBTQ+ couple or group, Scott Dunn gets it. They celebrate who you are and how you identify – through thoughtful recommendations, guides who truly understand the community and accommodation choices that ensure you will always feel that you belong.

Insider Access
In a country as culturally rich as Thailand, you could spend weeks – months, even – and still only scratch the surface. But because Scott Dunn works with a network of local experts who open doors most travellers don’t even know exist, they can help make your trip go further, and deeper.
Yes, you’ll tick off the classics: the Grand Palace shimmering in the Bangkok sun, a sunrise over Sukhothai’s ancient ruins, a longtail glide through Phang Nga Bay’s cinematic limestone cliffs. But you’ll also get the kind of experiences you won’t necessarily find in a guidebook. A private audience with a master silk weaver in Isaan, learning the meditative rhythm of the loom; an invitation-only dinner at a Bangkok chef’s home, where the wine pairings are as bold as the conversation; a guided street art walk through Chiang Mai’s creative quarter, led by the artist whose work you’ve just Instagrammed.
For OutThere travellers who relish this sort of deeper dive – who want to go beyond the surface, skip the tourist bottlenecks and immerse in the layered stories that make a place sing, this sort of access is golden. And then of course, Scott Dunn’s discreet, detail-obsessed service shines. From the moment you land, you’ll feel it: airport fast-tracking that whisks you past queues; private transfers in immaculate vehicles; guides who know when to share stories and when to let you soak in the view.
That freedom extends to the flexibility of your days. Feel like skipping the temple circuit to spend a lazy morning in your pool villa? Done. Want to add an impromptu overnight aboard a teak yacht in the Andaman Sea? Just say the word. In the background, your Scott Dunn consultant is making it all happen, quietly, flawlessly, as if by magic.
Thailand’s allure, amplified
It goes without saying, that the destination itself does plenty of heavy lifting. Thailand is an OutThere favourite for good reason: it has a welcoming spirit that embraces diversity, a culinary scene that dances between fire and finesse, landscapes that range from jungle to jade-green waters and cities that throng with both tradition and modernity.
Moreover, Thailand is having a bit of a moment. With new luxury openings, a burgeoning contemporary art scene, and renewed energy, the Kingdom is ready to be rediscovered. For LGBTQ+ travellers, it’s also a place where visibility and acceptance continue to grow – the recent passage of marriage equality legislation being just one more reason to celebrate here.
Thailand is a country of a thousand textures, flavours and smiles – and with Scott Dunn, you get the perfect lens to see it all. Not the same old Thailand. Your Thailand. Crafted with care, elevated by expertise and designed to make you feel entirely, joyously, OutThere.

Thailand’s legendary white sandy beaches and welcoming people are just the start of its appeal; every trip here promises more than you imagined. With thoughtfully tailored itineraries, the insight of private guides, and access to experiences off the beaten path, this is Thailand tailor-made; and Scott Dunn offers expert support from beginning til end, whenever you need it.
