Wonderful experience! Great tour guides, nice hotels, and amazing activities. Our agent Esther did well to make sure the trip ran smoothly and was sending us reminders about pick-up times for tours and transfers every day. We didn't have to worry about anything at all. Highly recommend!

Thailand beach vacation

19-Nov-2023

A new experience for me. I went to Thailand once before but for work, this time was for traveling. Personally, I liked exploring the grounds of those stunning temples in Bangkok. I had seen those on the Internet before but in reality, they are even more serene and filled with intricate art. Although I don't frequently visit temples, this one is worthwhile and remarkable. And Phuket was a perfect end of the tour.

Hannah Robinson Switzerland

Amazing

12-Dec-2023

I wish I could take longer trip. I’ve been interested in Thai culture for years and it just beyond my imagination. I love all 3 cities. Despite crazy traffic jams, Bangkok was so marvelous and it marks the 1st time I’ve seen a floating market. Phuket were amazing. Hotels were good and so were the staff. Thank you so much for a trip of a lifetime :)
