Amazing Thailand
This trip introduces you to the best that Thailand has to offer. The incredible historic temples and palaces of Bangkok and Chiang Mai showcase this country’s colourful and unique culture, but you also discover a different facet by riding on elephants and travelling on longtail boats through lively waterways. You experience local life by spending a special night with the hilltribe people in the north, staying in their simple village hut. Along the way, there is ample time to take advantage of the bargains to be had in the shopping paradise that is Thailand.

We had no expectations prior to joining this tour, as both my wife and I had not been to south east Asia before. It took us through the city, the country side, and the mountainside which allowed us to "sample" all aspects of this amazing country. Our highlight would definitely have been staying at the Elephant Conservation Park in Lampang!

The home stay - I was worried about this initially, especially sharing one room with other people on the tour, but surprisingly this was the most memorable time of the trip.
