Our journey

From Umm al-Fahm to 34 countries

Thai Journey started in 2020, not as a business plan but as a habit that got out of hand. Someone in our circle in Umm al-Fahm had spent enough time in Thailand to actually know it — not resort-brochure knowledge, but which songthaew driver to trust, which family-run guesthouse in Krabi beats the four-star hotel next to it, and which "must-see" temples are worth skipping on a first trip. Friends started asking for the same three-page itinerary. Then friends of friends. By the time we admitted it was a real business, we already had a small team on the ground in Phuket handling logistics that no amount of Googling from Israel could replace.
