Thailand Travel Agent Professional
Thailand is a magical country with breathtaking scenery, friendly locals and delicious food. It’s not surprising that it continues to attract an ever-increasing number of tourists each year. Its tropical climate, beaches and rainforests are just some of its natural wonders which continue to make Thailand an appealing holiday destination. That is why I love representing Thailand as a travel agent professional. I love making people’s travel dreams come true. Thailand is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Asia and with good reason. It’s home to an abundance of natural beauty, fascinating culture and cuisine, and, again, to some of the friendliest people you could ever meet. The country sees a high volume of tourists throughout the year, but it still remains an extremely hot destination from June to September. So, I often plan travel to the country when the weather is more temperate, or when the activities allow travelers to cool off from the humidity and heat. The Weather in Thailand The weather in Thailand is tropical year round. Thailand’s coastal areas enjoy warm temperatures throughout the year and usually remain above 70°F even during the winter months. In contrast, the mainland experiences more extreme weather conditions. Thailand’s rainy season usually lasts from May to October, but it varies by location. During this time, it’s common to see a lot of rain, especially in the southern parts of the country. Therefore, I can plan a trip for you that takes the weather into account, so you can enjoy your visit - whenever you plan to go. The Culture Shock Visiting Thailand can be an eye-opening experience. The country welcomes millions of tourists each year, but Thailand has a very different culture from what we are used to in the United States. Nevertheless, that is what makes visiting Thailand a unique and wonderful experience. It allows you to see the world from another perspective. Visit the Floating Market, attend a Muay Thai fight, or learn how to use chopsticks from a Thai chef. These are just some of the many activities that make for an exciting trip. Escorted Tours in Thailand I frequently suggest taking an escorted tour if you’ve never visited Thailand. These tours are designed to make your trip easy, convenient, and enjoyable. There are many escorted tours in Thailand, so I can find one that is ideal for you. Tours are also designed for different durations, so you can choose one that matches your schedule and travel preferences. Why Now is a Good Time to See Thailand There are many reasons why now is a good time to visit Thailand. Here are some of them: (1) Thailand is a top honeymoon destination. (2) The value of the Thai Baht against the US dollar has remained relatively stable in recent years. This makes the country more affordable for American tourists. (3) Thailand, together with its neighbors in Southeast Asia, is experiencing a tourism boom. There are more people visiting the region than ever before. The country is also working on new attractions and events to attract even more tourists. Top Places to visit in Thailand
(1) Bangkok - This is the best place to start your trip. Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand and the country’s most populated area. It is also one of the most visited cities in the region.
(2) Koh Samui -
Koh Samui is an island just off the coast of Thailand and a popular tourist escape.
(3) Chiang Mai -
Chiang Mai is a large city in northern Thailand. It is also the capital of Chiang Mai Province. This city is another popular haven for tourists.
(4) Koh Tao -
Koh Tao is an island off the coast of Thailand.
(5) Ayutthaya and Sukhothai -
Ayutthaya and Sukhothai are ancient cities in Thailand - great places for history buffs to explore.
(6) Krabi -
Krabi is a large city in southern Thailand - one well worth a visit during a Thai holiday.
(7) Hua Hin -
Hua Hin is a coastal city in southern Thailand - a nice escape during the winter.
(8) Pattaya -
Pattaya is a large city in southern Koh Phangan - Koh Phangan is an island off the coast of Thailand.
(9) Chiang Rai - Chiang Rai is a large city in northern Thailand. I can give you more details about the above locales when as your travel agent professional for Thailand. The country has much to offer, so you’ll need my guidance in planning a holiday. Why not start planning your vacation today? I look forward to hearing from you soon. Give me a call today.

Excellent Customer Service
Reviewed By Bonnie - Mastic Beach, New York | Traveled to Switzerland ~ Europe
Stoddard is a wonderful travel agent who provides outstanding customer service!I initially contacted Stoddard via email. He reached out to me that very same day via phone and email. I spoke with him at length that afternoon and explained that we want to go on a 10-12 day trip to Switzerland. Before I went to bed that evening, he sent over a full itinerary which included flights, hotels, some meals, and recommendations for how to spend our time. All of this came in under our budget. Everything that Stoddard picked was fabulous, but since we had some extra money we added an extra night and made one or two upgrades. Stoddard was patient, friendly, and responsive throughout all of our interactions, and he always gave his honest opinion when we asked him for his input. It's evident that he knows Switzerland very well!! Our trip is now officially booked and we could not be more excited!
I highly recommend using Stoddard to plan your next vacation. He will not disappoint!!

Honeymoon to Thailand
Reviewed By mike-and-emilia - San Diego | Traveled to Thailand ~ East and Southeast Asia
First time getting away in many years, newlyweds on our post-honeymoon vacation somewhere we knew nothing about, and Stoddard immediately got a great trip together, along with all the experience he had living there a few years. Never used an agent before, not to mention a specialist like Stoddard. Talked me through the options, send example, settled on a 14 day trip, and it was awesome... Thanks Stoddard !

Stoddard Brown, the Travel Wizard!
Reviewed By Disco Tina - Phoenix, AZ | Traveled to Colorado ~ USA
After searching for the perfect Dude Ranch vacation, it was by chance I came across Stoddard Brown on Google. I had forgotten that Travel Agents were still available and I felt like the luckiest person in the world. Stoddard is SO KNOWLEDGEABLE about Dude Ranches and has been such a pleasure to work with. Great communication, well-traveled and very responsive. We decided to plan a road trip from AZ to our Dude Ranch destination in CO and Stoddard also helped me plan one-night destinations to and from and recommended unique hotels in cool little towns as well. Our trip is at the end of June and I can't wait to post another review after our trip.

Best wine experience imagineable!
Reviewed By Bettsy - LA, CA | Traveled to Solvang ~ California ~ USA
I live in LA and have never been to the wine country in the Santa Barbara area. During the horrific pandemic, in Feb of 2021, Stoddard Brown arranged and orchestrated the most wonderful trip to Solvang/St Ynez that I couldn't even imagine. The hotel was absolutely amazing, and he set me up with all of the wineries. He knows the ins and outs of this beautiful area and goes over and beyond what is expected. I had the most amazing experience, and he tailored every detail to my needs, during a horrible time, when a small get away was life changing. I would HIGHLY recommend Stoddard Brown and his services to everyone and anyone and will be using his services again. Now that the world is open to travel again, I plan on booking a luxurious trip abroad, as he personally has traveled the world and has firsthand experiences in over 40 countries. He is simply the best.

Reviewed By Sharyl - Palos Verdes, CA | Traveled to Playa Del Carmen ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
I called Stoddard to book a weekend trip to San Diego...and quickly realized he could help me book a memorable trip with my kids to somewhere I had never been! He made booking business class flights a breeze and picked a hotel that made was perfect for kids and adults. He found us the Fairmont Mayakoba hotel in Playa del Carmen that had an all exclusive option that allowed us to not worry on the trip when ordering food or drinks! Our memories will last for a lifetime, and all thanks to Stoddard helping us find a destination we had never considered. Working with Stoddard was fantastic, and I have already recommended him to my family and friends.

Simply incredible.
Reviewed By Nolan - Chicago, Illinois | Traveled to Thailand ~ East and Southeast Asia
My girlfriend and I (24) wanted to travel to Thailand, but had no idea of where to start. After searching around (feeling overwhelmed), we found Stoddard, and sent an appointment request. He called us within 15 minutes, got a feel for our interests, and gave us a rough idea for the trip. He was very knowledgeable and gave excellent recommendations in a manner that calmed our nerves about planning a trip to a different country, as we hadn’t traveled much prior. The following Monday, he sent us the itinerary. The trip was outstanding. The activities were exceptional, and the way Stoddard planned it gave us periods of relaxation and didn’t make us feel overwhelmed in our travels (which means a lot, as we went to Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Railay, and Ko Phi Phi in only 12 days). It was, without question, the most incredible experience we have ever had. His recommendations were perfect. If you’re looking to plan a trip to Thailand, take my advice, and look no further. Stoddard is your guy.

Reviewed By Keith - Indiana | Traveled to Iceland ~ Europe
TLDR - Just call Stoddard. I can only use 1000 characters in the space. I typed up a review that was approaching 600+ words. That is the impact Stoddard made on our honeymoon. Reykjavik, Vik, London, Inverness, Edinburgh, Dublin. All under budget. 4 plane rides only. 2 train rides. 4 countries visited. . Volcanos. Glaciers. Black sand beaches. Thames river. Sleeper Train. A room over a pub. Isle of Skye. Loch Ness. Eilean Donan castle + all the other Skye things. Howth. Temple Bar. Northern Lights. Highland Cow. That is only a part of it. I ask 2 things. 1: Call Stoddard. 2: Thank me later.

Working with Stoddard was a great experience from start to finish. We have never been to Italy before and were a little nervous about where to go and what to see. Stoddard literally took care of every detail, flights, hotels, tours and amazing restaurant recommendations. With every tour that Stoddard set up for us we had an incredible guide who was an art historian. It almost felt like Stoddard hand picked each person just for us. We will absolutely book again!!
