Red Compass is a Bangkok-based destination management company designing and operating private journeys across Thailand for the world’s travel advisors.
— The company
We are a Bangkok-based destination management company. We design and operate private journeys across Thailand on behalf of the travel advisors who refer their clients to us.
Our team lives here. We hold the relationships with the hoteliers, guides, drivers and private operators who make a trip work, and we run the logistics quietly in the background so the advisor stays the trusted face for the client. Most trips come through advisors.
The country, by region.
Most journeys center on the Andaman coast and Bangkok. For clients ready to go deeper — the north, the old kingdoms, the off-circuit corners — we design those too.

Individual journeys
Trips written up page by page.
Alongside the advisor work, some of what we run is written up in full and published. Each page carries the plan, what we arrange around it, and a form that reaches our Bangkok team directly.
- Four nights, five days
Bangkok Pattaya Tour Package
The capital and the Gulf coast in one private programme. The Chao Phraya and the old shophouse lanes, then the road south to Pattaya, with a driver and a guide throughout.
Read the itinerary day by day - A day on the Andaman
Phi Phi Island Tour
Limestone islands and reef-lined bays south of Phuket and Krabi, arranged door to door from your hotel and paced so there is time in the water rather than a schedule to chase.
Read what the day covers - A day on the water off Pattaya
Coral Island Tour, Pattaya
Pickup handled on our own corridor, a straight run to the pier, and time on the island instead of a bus route strung between souvenir stops.

— How we work
A small, working DMC. Four steps, repeated quietly behind every trip.
- i.
The brief
An advisor sends us the client, the dates, the budget band and the texture of the trip. We respond within one business day from Bangkok.
- ii.
The proposal
A considered itinerary with rooms held, routes drawn and a clear price. Revised until it's right.
- iii.
On the ground
Our team operates the trip end to end — drivers, guides, transfers, restaurants, weather calls. A single point of contact for the advisor and the client.
- iv.
After the trip
A short debrief, photographs back to the advisor, and notes kept so the next journey starts where this one finished.
— What we arrange
The full ground operation.
Bespoke itineraries

Advisor-branded tripsFor advisors

They run Thailand the way we wish every DMC ran their country. Quiet, accountable, and we never have to worry about what our clients are walking into.
