of course, without! :) there is so much to see and travel around that it is much more convenient and interesting to schedule visits to places, resorts and excursions yourself! All Europeans go there just like that, it's ours that are afraid :)

You can go to any country in the world without the services of an intermediary, but there are a few BUT: knowledge of the hotel base, desire and time for planning a route, buying a ticket and booking a hotel, knowledge of English at a decent level. Therefore, theoretically my answer is "without", practically - "with".

It's Thailand.
Definitely need to go without a tour operator! The tour operator offers you a flight and transfer to a specific hotel, you can do it without leaving the computer with a credit card. Your savings will be about 25-50%. If you want to make a tour of the country, you need knowledge of English. The savings will be 200-500%. Information about the country, services, living in it on the Internet is enough and on the spot everything is done for tourists.
Now we are planning India on our own, it seems to be more difficult there.

Recently, my sister returned from Thailand, went on a tour through a tour operator. Although I told her that she would go "savage". So, it means that she returned and says that she didn’t go on her own in vain.
Himself went wild, all without problems. Even with zero knowledge of English.
Here they say correctly about the fact that you need to understand exactly which place you are going to, collect information (there is a lot of it on the Internet), be sure to get insurance (preferably "Ingostrakh", they say there are no problems with this company in Thailand), find out information about housing.
That is, you need to carefully work out your vacation beforehand. Good luck.

Offtopic about English: I agree that this is convenient, but not essential. We combined our trip to Tai with Cambodia. So, if in Thailand, for the most part, the local population has no problems with English, then in Cambodia it’s a bit difficult, so we were helped by the universal sign language and the calculator (if you need to know the price) :) They spoke pretty tolerably)) Although I still think that you need to know the language - it makes life much easier :)

As a lazy person, I prefer to overpay and go with a tour operator :-)
In any case, if it's the first time. And then, taking into account all the pros, cons and overlooked, you can plan yourself.

I would go for the first time with a tour operator (flights + hotel reservations) ..excursions - definitely by yourself. And the second time - definitely herself :) Tai is a paradise on earth. Everything is very simple and very friendly there. you definitely won't get lost.

If I were driving now, I would contact a travel agency, i.e. "with". For I have no desire to waste time choosing a hotel, flight, etc.

... The most important thing is to choose a flight. tour operator sends you a simple flight, respectively, the price is not affected! It is only necessary to select and book a hotel for the first night. Look for further arrival on the spot and you will be pleasantly surprised. We are still horrified by the neighboring hotel where those who came from the tour operator lived. Most of them are sunbeds covered with towels in the morning. You will not see this in hotels where tour operators do not send

NatashaS will still have to choose a hotel and a flight, the agency will definitely ask you about this. And only you decide in which hotel to live and which flight to fly. Only in the agency it will be more expensive by 700 dollars and without the possibility of changing the hotel if you don’t like it there. But this is me, for information.

99alex to choose here for 1 night - I agree, because on the second night it will be clearer where to live. I wouldn't recommend booking from here. Just choose here, then get there and book there. But that's another topic.

Marina530 I have a question for you - have you ever traveled without a tour operator?

I fully support Marina530 - this is how the whole world works, and not how we gather a crowd of rams and push excursions for big money on them from above and tell them that they have all the safest. I saw how on a boat designed for a maximum of 6 people, a teztour brought 15 people on an excursion !!! so in addition, our excursion with the Thais on the ship cost 22 raccoons, and the guys paid 100 each .. This is not a divorce of travel agencies. And I do not argue that sometimes it is better to overpay, but in the case of Thailand, this overpayment will go to your comfort and safety.

My husband and I have never traveled abroad "savages", but next year we are going to go alone. I'm very afraid (I am), because English for me is a separate word, but after reading the Internet I tend to go without a tour operator. Amir1 help, if that?

In those countries where English is non-native, at the level of nouns and "Russian swinging", i.e. sign language, we are normally understood.
On this forum it is pleasant to communicate with compatriots and discuss the problems of the Ukrainian tourist industry, and for planning independent travel, forums of "independent travelers" are preferable
