“Extremely happy with the tour and overall arrangement. Great way to experience both Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. Accommodation was very good and our guide very professional.”
“My girlfriend and I booked this trip. We had a great time. You see so many of the different islands , the beaches, and get to explore Thailand. If I were to do it again, I would see less islands and spend more time at each. You only get a couple of days at each island, which means a third of your trip you spend travelling. My recommendations would be phucket, phi phi and koi Tao. Also , before you leave make sure to print off all of your tickets, as most excursions and ferry companies don’t accept the mobile version. This was annoying asking each hotel to print this off for us.”
“The SpiceRoads experience was amazing, enlightening, filled with good food, great information, quiet roads and experiences that will be forever remembered._ The SpiceRoads crew went out of their way to make every moment wonderful. Thank you so much.”
“Great guide and driver. Excellent option for a family with kids. Great way to discover the area and local food. Very nice accommodation. Especially the second night.”
“An Amazing experience .The SpiceRoads team took care of everything for us. We had a great team and I cannot thank them enough. Cycling through Thailand is the best way to see this beautiful country. The guides and staff never stopped working and went beyond the call of duty to ensure we got everything we need.

Travel Highlights
Visit the Wat Arun, the iconic Buddhist temple, which is pictured on Thai currency. Found on the Chao Phraya River and facing the Grand Palace, climb its main spire and look-out over Bangkok. Wat Arun means ‘Temple of Dawn,’ so visit at sunrise for the best view.
If you need something, anything, while in Bangkok, head to the Chatuchak Weekend Market. This is souvenir shopping on another level.
Khao San Road is a backpackers paradise. You’ll find travellers galore here and so it’s a great place for nightlife, food, shopping and meeting people.
Watch a show at the trendy Patravadi theatre. Performances include theatre and dance as well as acrobatics and musical shows.
The Rot Fai night market is made for vintage lovers. Selling antiques, vintage clothing and memorabilia, spend an evening perusing unusual finds.
Visit one of Bangkok’s uncountable malls for the decor as well as the well-priced goods. Terminal 21 is especially known for its gorgeous interiors.
Travel Tips
Bangkok has a hot, humid climate. Make sure you drink plenty of water while you’re running around the city sightseeing.
While it’s always nice to be friendly, be vigilant on the streets and politely decline help from the locals if you are uncomfortable.
Bangkok is a big city, plan ahead when it comes to transport.
Don’t take a taxi in rush-hour traffic. If you do take a taxi, make sure the meter is running.
Carrying ID is expected in Thailand. Carry a copy of your passport just in case.
Don’t hesitate to bargain!
Save money on food by eating from the local street-stalls. Maybe fried cockroach for dinner?
