Chiang Mai Tours and Trips

I had the best time on the Northern Thailand 14-day tour. It was so relaxing, and I felt completely safe knowing that wherever our tour guide took us would be amazing. I loved supporting local communities and learning about Thai culture in such a personal and meaningful way through our guide. Some of the highlights for me were hiking to waterfalls, visiting temples, feeding and washing elephants, going river rafting, and so many other unforgettable experiences. My favorite part was hiking up to a small village in the mountains, meeting and getting to know wonderful people, and playing with local children. Our tour guide also suggested the best restaurants and bars. I loved traveling with so many new people, many of whom I now call friends. I’ve already recommended this tour to my sister, and I just hope she gets a tour guide as caring and organized as Smile (my tour guide). He shared personal stories that helped us understand the culture through his own experiences, and he was always patient and happy to answer our million questions. He made sure everyone was safe, whether it was looking after us when we were sick or making sure we got home safely after a night out. He was also incredibly accommodating when it came to any extra wishes or concerns. Smile was both a caring friend, opening up to us on a personal level, and a great leader who was organized and supportive in every way. He shared so much about the history and culture, making the experience truly meaningful. I’m so glad Smile was our tour guide and so glad I took this amazing tour.

The north of Thailand was my FAVOURITE. I loved the diverse range of 'stays' which kept it exciting and much like an adventure and showed what Thailand had to offer. The Jungle Raft on the second night was an essential bonding experience for the group and allowed us to build friendships and enjoy the trip way more than if we hadn't had that crucial opportunity to connect. The included experiences, free time add ons, and even trip manager suggestions were all top tier! I didn't regret a single experience. 2 night stays were also a relief as travelling can get quite tiring and found that their timing was essential.

This trip was breathtaking; truly one of the best weeks of my life. Every activity felt like an ‘I can’t believe I’m here’ moment. The itinerary had the perfect balance of action and relaxation. The free time add-ons were excellent and affordable and I appreciated that our TM helped us organize extra activities to fill our free time. The accommodations were great, the jungle raft special stay was a particular highlight for me. I would recommend this trip to anyone!

This trip was such a great way for our family to explore both Vietnam and Thailand. The itinerary was good with interesting experiences. Hotels were comfy, guides were friendly, knowledgeable about places, and the food was amazing. Really appreciate how the team organized everything professionally.

This tour hit all the right notes for us. We wanted something that showed us different parts of Thailand without being too intense or expensive. The days were full but never overwhelming. We saw big landmarks like the Grand Palace and White Temple but also had time for small experiences, like sipping coffee at a local cafe in Chiang Mai or watching the sunset from the beach in Phuket. The flights between cities made travel easy and we were always met on time. Having a guide in each place helped us understand the history and customs better and they answered every question we had. We’re not “tour people,” usually, but this one made things simple. It was structured but with enough flexibility. If you’re thinking about Thailand and want a little adventure without the stress of planning I’d definitely recommend this tour.

I’m amazed by all that we saw in just one week! It was a relief to travel with Contiki and not have to worry about the logistics of how we were getting from point A to point B. Our trip manager, was wonderful, and had great suggestions at every stop! There’s no way our time in Thailand would have been as smooth or with as many stops/sights if we had planned it ourselves.
