Two countries sharing a border and a Buddhist faith, but as different in character as night and day. Bangkok's modernity and Thailand's cultural richness lead seamlessly into Myanmar — ancient, golden, unhurried. Bagan at sunrise, Inle Lake by boat, Mandalay's royal heritage and Yangon's magnificent Shwedagon Pagoda.

Our team has led small-group adventures across Asia, East Africa, the Caucasus and South America since 2006. We know the routes we run inside out — and we run them personally.
Never more than 10 people on this tour. Small groups move differently — you get into places larger groups can't, spend more time in the moment and actually get to know the people you're travelling with.
You book your own flights, so you have full flexibility over your dates, airline and route. We're always happy to advise on the best connections — just ask when you enquire.
No booking engine. Enquire and our team will be in touch within 24 hours to discuss everything personally — and to tailor the trip around your schedule and what matters most to you.
“I visited Myanmar and northern Thailand with Tourio in November 2025, and I still can’t quite put Bagan into words. Thousands of temples, and not a single loud sound — no cars, no bikes, no chaos. Even the locals speak softly. Just peace and joy. The Buddhist people are among the most respectful and calm in the world. My beautiful Myanmar — thank you, Tourio, and thank you, Puttipong. ♥”
