Thailand Wheelchair Accessible Tour

“Disabled Supporting Disabled” — this is not just a slogan, but the heart of BB Travels, Thailand’s pioneering accessible travel company founded by two friends determined to change the way the world experiences mobility.

Founded in Pattaya by Nina and Nuch—two women with quadriplegia—BB Travels (formerly BB Van) began as a grassroots effort to provide safe, accessible transportation for people with disabilities. Their personal struggles navigating Thailand became the foundation for a mission much bigger: making the “Land of Smiles” fully accessible to all, regardless of physical or cognitive ability.

Why Thailand? Why BB Travels?

Thailand is globally known for its warm hospitality, spiritual richness, and culinary wonders. But with BB Travels, this cultural wealth is made accessible—literally.

• Sensory-Sensitive Options: Tours tailored for autistic or sensory-sensitive travelers, including quiet spaces, trained guides, and flexible scheduling.
