About us

Explore in Style
Established in 1994 Khiri Travel and with Western and local management we chose the most important regional hub for the location of our head office – Bangkok. In the initial years that followed we steadily grew a reputation for personal attention, unparalleled enthusiasm and detailed knowledge of the region and its people.

The most discerning of travellers and private institutions together with respected tour operators chose to use our services and gradually we built our own regional network of offices and dedicated, knowledgeable staff. To remain competitive and yet to ensure our services remain equally high wherever you travel with us Khiri Travel now has its own offices in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Hanoi and Danang.

We are proud of our join-ventures all of which empower locals by ownership and continue to invest in the local community with future ventures.

Background

As an established tour operator with a background firmly in adventure travel our focus has always been on showing our clients the real counties through which we travel. We do this by mixing our unique knowledge of the better-known and little-visited places to see and stay with comfortable chartered transport and local transport options together with enthusiastic, trained and knowledgeable guides. This combination of skills means the traveller becomes immersed in their journey, not simply a tourist seeing the sights. It’s something we love and excel at.

Licences And Associations

Khiri Travel are members of ATTA (Association of Thai Travel Agents), TAT (Tourism Authority of Thailand), ASTA (American Society of Travel Agents), LATA (Lao Association of Travel Agents), TIES (The International Eco-Tourism Society).

Responsible Travel

Khiri Travel has always strongly believed that responsible tourism promotes sustainable development of the region. From our establishment in 1994, years before ‘Responsible Travel’ became a buzz-word, we have had ethics as the basis of our existence.

We give priority to suppliers and grassroots projects that stimulate nature conservation and environmental awareness. Moreover, we provide financial and other support to individual initiatives that promote local arts and crafts and projects involving the disabled and less fortunate. We actively support, stimulate and facilitate traveller involvement in an orphanage in Laos, a refugee camp in Thailand and an NGO that is involved with underprivileged children in Cambodia.

Our region of expertise encompasses some of the world's poorest nations, where the gap between rich and poor is huge and the threat of destruction of natural resources a real, not imagined, concern.

Khiri Travel’s responsible travel ethos runs through all aspects of its business - through its trips, its offices and its staff.
