Stray Travel Asia

4.7(51 reviews)

Operating out of the Banglamphu neighbourhood in Bangkok, Stray Travel Asia is a tour operator specialising in guided group travel across Southeast Asia, with a particular focus on destinations like Borneo and broader regional itineraries. The agency attracts independent travellers looking for a structured yet immersive way to explore parts of Asia that can be difficult or time-consuming to navigate solo.

Visitors consistently highlight the quality and knowledge of the tour guides as a standout feature, along with well-organised itineraries that go beyond typical tourist stops. The Borneo Explorer tour has drawn particular praise, with travellers noting memorable wildlife encounters, cultural experiences, and comfortable accommodation. The group travel format suits those who want the social dimension of travelling with others while leaving logistics in capable hands.

Prospective travellers should note that Stray Asia operates as a tour agency rather than a walk-in service, so browsing and booking in advance through their website is the recommended approach before arriving in Bangkok. The office is located on Soi Rambutri, a well-known street in the backpacker-friendly Banglamphu area, making it conveniently situated for those already staying nearby. Confirming tour departure dates, inclusions, and pick-up arrangements directly with the agency before booking is advisable to avoid any confusion about logistics.

Borneo is somewhere I was very intrigued to visit and I would not have preferred to travel with any tour other than Stray! The Stray Borneo Explorer not only showed me the great culture and history within Borneo, but also the stunning remote beaches and one of a kind wildlife and nature experiences. I met the best people from around the world on this tour, getting to find out all the interesting life stories and making long-term friends, which I never would of done if I didn't travel with Stray. The guides were a great fun and are very knowledgeable! The Stray Borneo Tour is an 11/10 from me

The first time I ever travelled to Asia was on this Borneo Trip and it exceeded all expectations. Borneo has the best beaches, very friendly locals, and amazing wildlife encounters. The accommodation provided by Stray was at a very high quality and the guides were very helpful, knowledgeable and a lot of fun. Cannot wait to travel again with Stray!

I recently booked a mini van trip to Pattaya through a travel agency, only to find out it wasn't a direct service. Instead, they took me to the Bangkok Bus Terminal (Chatuchak/Mochit 2) and provided a public bus ticket for the rest of the journey to Pattaya. The bus was quite cramped, and I've attached some pictures for reference. I feel deceived by the agency, as they took advantage of my unfamiliarity with the area. I would not recommend using their services. If you're looking to travel elsewhere, I suggest going directly to the bus terminal and purchasing tickets on your own. The agency charged 700 baht (initially 1,000 baht) for two people, while the actual ticket price from the bus terminal to Pattaya is only 150 baht per person. If you need transportation from the agency to the bus terminal, a Grab ride will cost around 180 baht.

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours

Vet Elephant Sanctuaries

Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.

Book Popular Activities Online

Booking platforms like GetYourGuide give you instant confirmation and, on many activities, free cancellation — and you can read recent reviews before committing. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.

Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning

Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
