1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Malay Peninsula was good but no wow moments - the fenicular railway could have been very good if the full itinerary and walk down was down the hill was done - I wasn’t convinced by the reasoning not to do it and I think others in the party wanted to do it. By contrast, Southern Thailand - every day had a memorable wow moment - the tour guide was great and tailored to my needs2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Check the itinerary is going to meet your expectations for wow moments - west Malaysia itinerary accurately describes the trip so I can’t complain it didn’t deliver what it said it would3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes - more so Thailand which was off the well beaten tourist areas so bought benefit local people4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
West Malaysia- 3.5 stars Southern Thailand 5 stars The accommodation for both tours was excellent albeit breakfasts variableLeifang He review 12 Jan 2026
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The most memorable part is the luck for us to see the biggest single flower in the world -- Rafflesia arnoldii! The time frame of my plan to to try our luck for this flower and we kept getting a news that the flowers were done, we missed the time even when we arrived int he lodge. The following morning, when we were ready to go on the Nature Walk, I asked the guide for this opportunity, and he said, "Yes". It was a hard hike , but we were very excited! We saw two of them along with many buds! What a day and we felt so lucky!2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
1.First the foods contains some added sugar. They taste good for sure, but if you have blood sugar issue, then you need to tell the kitchen not to put sugars. 2.Have some local currency in hand for almost everything.3.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
We did a night jungle walk which we arranged ourselves and wasn’t on the programme. From the programme we most enjoyed the variety of wonderful food and our lovely tour guide.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Understand the amount of walking, this is not serious tracking or hiking.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes we did eat out in many local and remote restaurants which supported local communities. WWE did a beach clean which was on our island extension trip but this was under our own initiative. Some local children joined in enthusiastically .4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
It was good but not great based on our expectations but it should be noted we had 10 days of almost constant rain which limited what we could do. Overall we would have liked more activity.Nicola Lindsey review 21 Mar 2019
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
I particularly loved visiting the group of pagodas at Wat Chalerm Phrakiet spectacularly perched high on a limestone ridge; and the ride up the mountain at breakneck speed in the back of a truck was quite exciting too!2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
It's an interesting but busy itinerary so maybe plan some downtime at the beginning or the end of the trip just to chill out.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
To a degree; we ate in local restaurants and stayed in small guest houses or hotels.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
We really enjoyed it. Our guide, Wi, was excellent throughout and as well as spectacular temples we also visited markets, unusual museums and were lucky enough to also witness an elephant feast festival which was a real highlight.Holiday Reviews
