The Team You Can Trust for Your
Dream Thailand Holiday
David Leavey
Co-Founder, Premium Thailand Travels
David Leavey is the co-founder of Premium Thailand Travels, bringing a unique blend of global experience, financial acumen and a deep passion for travel. After spending 10 years in Singapore working in the finance industry as well as travelling extensively across Asia – including Singapore, Hong Kong and Thailand – David made the bold decision to pursue his love for the travel industry full time following the pandemic.
He went on to launch a successful tour company in London, quickly building a reputation for delivering high-quality, personalised travel experiences that cater to modern travellers. With a sharp eye for detail, a strong understanding of customer needs and hands-on operational knowledge, David has firmly established himself as an expert in the travel sector.
Recognising a gap in the market for a truly focused, Thailand-only specialist, he partnered with lifelong friend and fellow entrepreneur David Bates (aka ThaiTok), combining their on-the-ground knowledge and cross-cultural expertise.
Now living between Thailand and the UK, David offers insider insight, exceptional service and a 360-degree approach to creating unforgettable holidays. Fully ABTA and ATOL trained, he ensures every customer is in expert hands—offering not just holidays but truly premium experiences in the Land of Smiles, Thailand.
