Most memorable was trekking in Chang Mai, without a doubt. The itinerary was amazing and we'll never forget the bamboo rafts being made right in front of us, the elephant trek and the hospitality of the hill tribes.

Feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin everyday. When you live in Scotland this rarely happens!

The temples (including Angkor Wat) around Siam Reap were wonderful. But our two day trip on the Mekong to Luang Prabang and, Luang Prabang itself were very memorable. It was a wondeful experience in every respect. The organisation and choice of hotels and guides was excellent.

Brilliant holiday that I would totally recommend to other families looking for memorable adventures spanning elephants, snorkelling, river floating, boat rides, temples, spicy food and beautiful countryside and beaches.

Most memorable? The warm welcome from all the people we met, the fun everyone was having at the Thai New Year festival, the variety of experience each day, and being able to see so much of the country.

The temples in Angkor Wat / Siem Reap were incredible. The roads in Cambodia were pretty memorable as well [though for a completely different reason!].

The most memorable part of the holiday was the life coaching that we had and, a fantastic highlight, the excursion to the elephant sanctuary.

What we liked the most was the variation in the program - culture - nature - sports (could have been little bit more) - homestay - and definitely NOT to forget the Thai cooking!!...It was an unforgettable adventure! And our local guide did her utmost to make all comfortable for everybody!! Good job!!

We all have different highlights, but generally agree that the day we had a boat trip down the Maekok river, followed by an elephant ride where we got to ride the elephants like a mahout and then spent a night in an Akha village, was our most memorable day.

The most memorable parts included staying in such basic accommodation and meeting the tribal people. Also the bamboo rafting. Our guide and porter were both brilliant and added such a lot to our enjoyment.

Trekking in the hills of Northern Thailand and staying in a traditional Hilltribe Village home were the most memorable parts.
