With an expert local leader out front and a small group of like-minded travellers by your side, this trip gives you a unique insight into Peru’s culture and traditions.

Part of Intrepid’s Women’s expedition range, this eight-day adventure has been thoughtfully designed to support local women in tourism while delivering immersive experiences specifically for women travellers.

You’ll traverse the lesser-known Chinchero to Urquillos trail in the Peruvian Andes alongside an all-female crew, spend time in an Andean village learning about daily life, take part in a traditional textile workshop led by local women and experience a spiritual cleansing ritual guided by a female shaman.

Hello, welcome! Take a look inside kaa. Here's what I have for you today:​

Last day in Thailand. Trip of a lifetime. Two weeks of temples, beaches, street food, and experiences I'll never forget.

Then I got to the airport.

Four hours before my flight. Terminal seat. Hard plastic. Some kid screaming three rows over.

I sat there, phone dying, watching the minutes crawl by.

By the time I boarded, I was tired, cranky, and honestly? A little resentful.

All those amazing memories... and the last feeling I had in Thailand was "get me out of here."

Not great.

Here's what I wish someone had told me:

For about $40, you can spend those final hours in an airport lounge instead.

Air conditioning that actually works. Comfortable seats. Unlimited food—real food, not airport markup garbage. Beer, wine, coffee, whatever you want. Free wifi. Power outlets everywhere.

That's how you end a vacation.

Moral of the story is:

How you finish matters as much as how you start.

First impressions are important, sure. But last impressions stick.

End your trip stressed and uncomfortable? That's the taste that lingers on the flight home.

End your trip relaxed, fed, and pampered? You board that plane still smiling about Thailand.

Now, how does this apply to you?

If you're flying out of Bangkok, Phuket or Chiang Mai, lounge access is available to anyone. You don't need business class. You don't need some fancy credit card.

You just book it beforehand, show up, show your passport, boarding pass and confirmation, and walk in.

Here's what I recommend:

→ Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport Lounge*

→ Phuket Airport Lounge*

→ Chiang Mai Airport Lounge*

All include unlimited food and drinks, wifi, comfortable seating, and all the creature comforts you need before a long flight.

If you want to end your Thailand trip the right way instead of sitting in terminal purgatory, tap one of those links and add it to your itinerary now.

You'll thank yourself at hour three of that flight home.

Chokdee!
