Indochina tours

Laos is beautiful and the people are gentle and kind. Vietnam is crazy, hectic with stunning beaches and Halong Bay, Wow...Excellent. (more)Anne Honeyball

was one of the best trips I have ever done. We experienced all kinds of travel, visited many amazing sites and learned more in one month than most people do in a lifetime. The most memorable part was the homestay where we experienced what life really is for the locals who were so welcoming and friendly to us. (more)Sarah Beddow

I really enjoyed the relaxing river trip on the mekong, I loved the peacefulness of the journey and the fact that you felt like you were in the middle of nowhere, the stops were great and the local guide savatt was really friendly and knowledgeable and helpful. (more)David Conway

South East Asia tour, Hanoi to Singapore

Snorkelling for the first time in Nha Trang (and second time in Ko Phi Phi!) was fantastic, jungle trekking in both Thailand and Malaysia was awesome...Outstanding - varied, educational and stacks of fun. (more)Matt Williams

There were so many highlights to this holiday which covered so many countries... Staying the night in a hilltribe village in northern Thailand, snorkling on the coral reefs around Ko Phi Phi, 4x4 driving, drinking tea in a tea plantation in the Cameron highlands...exploring great cities like KL and Singapore. Fantastic, but tough going at times! (more)Bridie Brittain

Budget Thailand holiday, a taste of Thailand

Memorable parts? I enjoyed so many things about my holiday, I had a truly fantastic time but if I had to choose I would say the hill-tribe trek, that was a great experience for many reasons, I especially loved seeing the tribes & the breath-taking landscape it was unbelievable I thought, a special experience. Tips? To travel as lightly as possible during the hill-tribe trek as it can be rather demanding especially the first day & make sure you have the correct footwear. Be prepared... (more)Gary Remekie

Koh Tao was like paradise, such a beautiful place with great people... I had a great time and seeing different parts of Thailand, I would rate the holiday as very enjoyable. (more)Nova Hart

The whole trip was brilliantly planned as we traversed through Cambodia, to a Thai Island, then to Bangkok without any hiccups anywhere. (more)Greg Bartlett

A few memorable moments are the temples at Angkor which revealed something new each day, the somewhat sobering experience of Tuol Sleng. (more)Michael Robinson

Timeless Thailand holiday

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

Great country, fantastic guide, very friendly and welcoming local people. Would book another trip with same company but especially Thailand if I could get the same guide as she really helped the group come together and made sure everything went as smoothly and was as much fun as possible.

Thailand activity holiday, bike, hike & raft

Memorable parts? The first village stay on the hill tribe trek - we were the first group to stay in this village, and the kids were so excited to see us that I think we became a free babysitting service to the whole village for the entire night! Tips? Be prepared to 'rough it' and bring a sense of adventure with you. Many of the nights accommodation involve some form of shared accommodation with the whole group - think home stays, bamboo huts when trekking, house boats, and sleeper... (more)Hannah Gausden

Northern Thailand family holiday

Memorable parts? 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!! People were extremely friendly. We definitely also enjoyed the busy life in Bangkok next to the quietness of the rafthouses - the serenity of foodgiving to the monks - the fireflies at night .... Tips? Do not take too much luggage with you! There are opportunities to get your laundry done... (more)Sabine Callens

Photography tour in Laos & Thailand

Memorable parts? Almost too many to recount! The rice terraces at sunset and dawn, the hike through Tiger Leaping Gorge, the Stone Forest, the lake and mountains and pagodas at Dali, the Jade Dragon Mountain at Lijiang, Shangri-La, the markets and ethnic minorities.... Tips? Take some dollars, go (unlike locals) between Nov and April - we had superb weather; take some warm clothing for the Tibetan plateau; take plenty of film/memory cards! Local benefits? Very much so. We... (more)John deason

Excellent - thank you very much. All provisions and services were provided by locals and the relationship the guide had with them was obviously due to good relationships in place. (more)Ian MacEachern

Thailand, Laos and Cambodia holiday

Memorable parts? The train Journey from Bangkok, the days on the Mekong and the guided tour of Bangkok. Tips? There are not too many high spots on this holiday, as it misses out the main sights. This is a rather low key trip and some of it is very beautiful. It does take you to less visited areas. Prepare for two full days of travelling at the end to get to Phenom Phen. Local benefits? Definitely relations with local people were respectful and brought benefits to them. Overall... (more)Lesley Holly

Thailand family adventure holiday on the River Kwai

Memorable parts? We've decided that there were higher points, like elephants, tuc-tucs and boat trips but that the whole thing merged into one great experience. Tips? First, look at your needs. There's a great variety of opportunities, more than most other holiday firms. For this experience pick the one appropriate to your family. in our case, for families with older teenagers. Then just turn up, be prepared to join in and go with the flow. Local benefits? We certainly provided... (more)Robert Brown

Thailand wildlife & beach holiday

It was all memorable and all locations were different. That was the purpose of booking a variety of areas. That said, we went to see wildlife and this criteria was mostly ticked and very memorable. (more)Jan Jupp

Volunteering at the orphanage - it was just an unforgettable experience, there are no words to describe it...you have to live it!! The kids are amazing and I will miss them so much!!! (more)Cristina Piccolo

Thailand islands tour

Memorable parts? There were so many different experiences in this holiday that it is difficult to choose the most memorable. I suppose the snorkelling off Phan gan and visiting the archipelagos were the best moments for me, but tubing in the rain forest and feeding the monkeys is a close second. Tips? Ask the guide about the night markets in Bangkok which are really interesting and are a good place for buying presents and souvenirs. Local benefits? The tour guide was... (more)Amanda Harris

Southern Thailand holiday, reefs & rainforests

A great break, a brilliantly organised holiday, the tour guide OH really made it what it was, his in depth knowledge and enthusiasm for Thailand really made a difference. The train journey down to Nikon si thammarat was great... waking up in the morning and opening the window to a whole new world, as the train travelled through the rainforest was truly spectacular, it really made the experience real, much better than a boring aeroplane ! (more)Amy Lance

We enjoyed the holiday overall and the last few days on the island were a welcome break after previous exertions! (more)Sue Hewson

The most memorable parts were the nature/countryside, trekking and climbing, the waterfalls. (more)Debbie Hughes

Small group tours to Thailand

Memorable parts? After five or six hours of very hot and strenuous walking through the jungle we suddenly came out on the top of a hill that had been cleared of jungle. On the edge of the hill were two huts and a rice barn, all made of bamboo, standing high on bamboo legs and thatched with dry banana leaves. Pottering about were chickens, ducks, dogs, cows and water buffalo, the latter clanking their wooden bells. Beyond and all around the jungle rolled away in a series of luscious green...

Indochina holiday adventure

Memorable parts? Treking through the jungle and then meeting a hill tribe in Laos - drinking local whisky with the "chief." Meeting other lowland tribes in Laos. These visits gave us an appreciation of how people live (very different to our own lives!) A day sailing down the Ou river into the Mekong river and another day sailing down the Sangker river in Cambodia. Visit to the Golden Triangle and a very enjoyable stay in Luang Prabang. Eating with fellow travellers, enabling us to sample... (more)Joyce Godfrey

Indochina tours, Discoverer

Memorable parts? I enjoyed the tour of Angkor Wat and the temples around Siem Reap. I also enjoyed the boat trip down the Mekong. Tips? I wouldn't advise anyone looking for a green tour to book this holiday. I felt that besides the small size of the group, the tour was not that all environmentally sensitive nor was do I feel that the tour operator emphasized ways to help the communities we were visiting besides buying souvenirs. Local benefits? No. Overall rating? I... (more)Andrea Tompkins

Southern Thailand tailor made holiday

Memorable parts? Trekking in the jungle Tips? Elephant rides and trip down the river very touristy and perhaps more suitable for older people. Islanda Hotel does not have a beach - just mud flats which was disappointing. Local benefits? In the jungle yes. In our trip out on the sea - no. Reefs were dead and there were hundreds of people crammed onto small beaches that we seemed to visit only because veryone else did so. Environmentally very bad. Overall rating? Good.

Thailand tour, Bangkok and Chiang Mai

Memorable parts? 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. Tips? If you're not a city person, I wouldn't recommend staying in Bangkok more than a day and a night. We had 3 nights there and it was too long. Local benefits? Hopefully. We donated some of our stuff to the hill-tribes and bought local food and goods. We felt... (more)Louise Allman

Thailand tour, jungles and islands

Too many exciting experiences to recount. However we loved the alternative accommodation in the lodges - made a refreshing change from the usual soulless 5 star hotels. (more)Helen Quayle

The most memorable parts were ...elephant ride in Jungle, boat trip snorkelling in Khoa Sok and getting absolutely soaked in a sudden monsoon downpour in the rain forest! (more)Michael Potter

The day spent boating on the Lake in Khao Sok National Park was wonderful; we had sunshine for most of the day and it was simply spectacular. Swimming and snorkelling off Koh Lanta was wonderful. Walking the Death Railway was very moving, a good trek and we learned a lot. (more)Marian and Richard Beaver

Thailand travel information

Bangkok may appear increasingly westernised, but even here in the capital city modern life is underpinned by a strong sense of history and tradition. The network of canals (khlongs) offers visitors a different view of city life from that which is presented in the teeming bustle of the streets. There are over 300 Buddhist temples and shrines within the city limits, and among other sites of interest are the Pakkard Palace, National Museum and famous floating market.

In the central plains, the ancient city kingdom of Sukhothai is a World Heritage Site and covers a huge area of palaces, temples, pavilions, lakes and waterways. There are numerous community-based trips and visits available in Thailand, especially in the north around Chiang Mai, where the rich heritage and traditional lives of the various hill tribes can be experienced by staying in local villages.
