A bucket list adventure with like-minded women in midlife and beyond.
Everywhere is in Rambling distance with Sole Sisters.
Most women join our trips as solo travelers and typically do not know anyone else before booking.
The trips are intentionally designed this way, so everyone arrives open to meeting new people and forming new friendships along the way.
It’s very uncommon for large groups of friends to book together, especially given the small group size of 15 participants.
To help everyone connect before the journey begins, we also create a pre-trip WhatsApp group where travelers can introduce themselves, chat, coordinate travel plans, and start getting excited about the adventure together.
By the time the trip begins, many women already feel like they’re arriving to meet friends rather than strangers.
Sole Sister Ramblers and Intrepid Travel collaborate to take you beyond the usual sights and into the heart of a destination. Along the way, you’ll meet local people, experience the culture firsthand, and discover hidden gems you might otherwise miss.
You’ll still see the highlights, but the real magic happens off the beaten path — in backstreet cafés, neighborhood eateries, and everyday moments that don’t show up in a search engine.
Most importantly, you’ll share the journey with other like-minded women 45+, often arriving as solo travelers and leaving with friendships and travel companions that last a lifetime.
Food is at the heart of any journey through Thailand, and it’s widely considered some of the best in the world for good reason.
Every meal is a balance of flavours—fresh, bright, and layered—whether it’s a simple bowl of noodles from a street stall or a beautifully prepared curry in a local restaurant. You’ll find herbs like lemongrass and Thai basil, the heat of chillies, the tang of lime, and just the right touch of sweetness woven into dishes that feel both vibrant and deeply satisfying.
What makes it even more special is how accessible it is. Some of the most memorable meals happen at busy night markets or tucked-away local spots, where everything is made fresh and full of character.
On this adventure, you’ll have the chance to try a wide range of regional dishes, and even learn how to make a few yourself—giving you a deeper connection to the culture and a taste of Thailand.
November is one of the best times to visit Thailand, as it marks the start of the cooler, dry season, which runs from November to April.
While it’s the beginning of the high season, it’s generally less crowded than the peak months of December and January. You can expect mostly sunny days, lower humidity, and very comfortable conditions for exploring.
In the north (Chiang Mai), November brings cooler, pleasant weather with daytime temperatures typically in the low to mid-70s °F (around 22–25°C) and cooler mornings and evenings.
It’s ideal for walking, hiking, and spending time outdoors. In central Thailand (including Bangkok), it will be warmer, with daytime temperatures usually in the mid-80s to low 90s °F (around 29–33°C), along with a noticeable drop in humidity compared to earlier months.
You will be accompanied by a local Intrepid tour leader and an Sole Sister Ramblers host.
The role of the local Intrepid guide is to make your travels hassle-free and to ensure you have the best experience possible.
Intrepid guides don’t just show you a destination; they introduce you to the soul of a place.
They will provide information about the places you visit, suggest activities and sights, recommend excellent local dining options, and introduce you to their local friends.
You can expect them to possess a broad general knowledge of the locations visited, including historical, cultural, religious, and social aspects.
The hotels are upgraded for this trip from basic to comfort which are mostly 4 star hotels.
Unless you purchase a single supplement you will be paired with another Rambler in a room with two twin beds.
All hotel rooms will have ensuite bathrooms.
When you book, Intrepid will take a deposit of $400 USD. The final balance is due 70 days before departure.
You will have access to your own Intrepid portal, which you can log in to and pay money through before the final balance is due.
Intrepid will send a payment link, but you can also call them if you prefer to speak to them.

Intrepid will share the specific cancellation terms when you book your trip, as these can vary slightly depending on the adventure.
In most cases, a $400 deposit is required at the time of booking, with the remaining balance due 70–90 days before departure.
If something comes up and you need to cancel before making your final payment, that $400 deposit can usually be applied toward another Intrepid adventure — so it doesn’t have to go to waste.
Once full payment has been made, trips are generally non-refundable.
To travel internationally, you will need a valid passport. Most countries require that your passport be valid for at least six months, so be sure to check its expiry date before your trip.
Intrepid will need your passport information to prepare for your journey, so the details on your booking must match your passport exactly. Please ensure that you provide accurate information.
We also recommend that you carry a copy of the photo page of your passport while traveling and leave an additional copy at home with family or friends.
You are responsible for checking and addressing visa requirements from your country of origin.
