It is a tiring trip, moving almost every day, I am not sure if this would be a fit to everyone, although you see many different places.

Spectacular landscape. Good size group people. Interesting activities. Maybe consider adding flights and not having overnight stay on train.

There were 3 unpleasant occurrences on this Thailand trips that I like to mention about: 1. I was introduced to the obnoxious 'secret services hackers from usa.gov' attempted to ruin my vacationing...I gave this individual a good punch __..There was no response afterwards ..How do I know it was the usa.gov hackers.. Easily spotted them 10 thousands miles away of their rotten fishy odors as I did in the USA____.. Your tour leader, Mai, was well aware of the situations...Ask her for my emails correspondences.. 2. An incident with the individual male from Europe, Mai (guide leader CEO) was well aware of the situations since she Sar between myself and this individual...Personally, I think this individual is racist.. 3. I lost quite a bit of cash I left in my luggage while I was out on excursions with the groups.. Mai warning ?? me that peoples here would steal your cash NOT your USA PP (passport)..She was right.. I discovered I did lost more 1000 dollars.. However, I couldn't tell which hotel it was and since the acts was caught red-handed..I cannot accused which hotel it was.. However, Mai's warning was ACCURATE. I sent her a message regarding to this issue.. Other than this, I had a great time in Thailand ____ and the beaches were nice, cleaned and lots prettier than in the USA and the water temperature was just perfect.. Period..

Loved the itinerary and our tour guide Ronny. He made the trip so enjoyable and organized everything so I just had to have fun on my holiday.

This style of travel is great if you are on your own. You have the safety & company of a group but you also have time for yourself if you want it. You have a great choice of tours too to suit individual needs & you get to see & experience so much - things you wouldn't if you went on your own or with family / friends. I have already recommended your tours to various people!

Quality of local guide CEO with everything expertly already organized for you, able to see a good variety of a country in two weeks, and travel with others.
12/01/2023
CEO was absolutely amazing. The itinerary was awesome. My expectations were exceeded.
12/01/2023
This style of travel is the key to your question. This is a down to earth travel experience - a little rough around the edges at times, but you'll see things as they are.
11/24/2023
The trip itinerary and CEO was great, the only reason I gave the score of 9 instead of 10 is that activity level 1 is not accurate, there were certain days with higher activity level.
11/24/2023
Our CEO was phenomenal, the mix of activities was great and the accommodations were better than expected.
11/17/2023
The trip was more than we could have hoped for. Our tour guide Nui just made everything so easy, so every experience was utterly enjoyable. We never had to worry about anything - we could just focus on having an amazing time.
