1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Not possible to identify a single memorable part as the tour was so very varied ranging from local culture, local and world history as well as nature and the environment. All included very interesting and memorable aspects.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
If you want an active, varied and interesting holiday this holiday ticks all the boxes. Having an excellent local tour leader made the holiday stress free and with extra value from her extensive understanding and knowledge.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Our tour leader ensured that local people benefited throughout our trip - through the small individually owned accommodation, the use of local transport, food venues, specialist local guides etc. There was attention to environmental impact throughout and the use of an overnight train reduced the need for internal flights. The holiday supported conservation through the use of specialist guides in the national park and the visit to a genuine elephant rescue sanctuary.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent in all areas.Shefda Cattermoul review 24 Jan 2017
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
It is hard to pick out one thing but it would include staying in the jungle in a treehouse, visiting some amazing temples, eating street food in an evening market before catching the sleeper train, treking in the jungles, canoeing down the river Kwai and the awesome beach on Koh Lanta.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Take lots of Deet and diahorra tablets and travel as light as you can. Book an extra day at the beach at the end because you will need a good rest before the long flight home (and the beach is amazing).3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We ate at locally owned places. All trips were run by people from the local area and employed local people.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
We are a family with two sons aged 17 and 14. We were all entertained all of the time. A great mix of culture, lots of activities and relaxation. We were never bored. Our guide Aor was fun, informative and made our trip a very relaxed one.Alison Hatchman review 6 Feb 2015
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
So many wonderful memories. The day trip in Bangkok was fantastic, boat trip on the lily and lotus covered lake at Thale Noi Bird Sanctuary beautiful, and meeting the elders at the Sakai settlement was both fascinating and humbling. My teenage children would say that the night train experience, canoeing at Ban Chao Mai National Park and swimming through the Emerald Cave were the most memorable bits.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Bring a waterproof camera for the caves and canoeing! Don't worry about your tummies - my children drank smoothies at all the restaurants and didn't have any problems. The food everywhere was fantastic!3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Most definitely. It was lovely seeing our guide using local guides and helpers on our adventures.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
As our first holiday in Asia it was fantastic. Our guide was so friendly and helpful we really didn't have to do anything but have a great time! We experienced a bit of Thai culture and history, some exciting adventures and had a relaxing time at the beach! Wonderful food all the time. Wonderful holiday.Francoise Harris review 17 Sep 2014
