Bangkok Tours and Trips

This was my first time doing cost saver, and I liked that there was a lot of flexibility in the schedule. I enjoyed the included activities. I do think some of the optional experiences were a bit pricey.

I had a wonderful experience in Thailand despite the humidity! Each day was a new activity whether it was a temple or talk with a monk or a new food or bathing a rescue elephant or cooking Thai food!

I loved the trip. Got lucky with the excellent friends that I made along the way. The trip itself is super with super unique activities. Staying in River Rafts along the river Kwai, Zip Lining, Cooking, Quad Biking, Bike Tours, Slow Boats was fantastic. Food and Accommodation was excellent with some being extra fancy. Trip manager Sam was 11/10 !!

The whole tour was amazing. Angkor Wat was the highlight of our trip. The additional activity of Vespa ride through Saigon was the most enjoyable thing we did. Would highly recommend the additional days in Bangkok. We ventured through the floating market, a lot of fun. All hotels were very good, WiFi was excellent in all the hotels. Our guides in each country definitely helped us enjoy all the tours and their knowledge was great.

This is a full on tour with very little downtime. There is a lot of time spent in a private minibus to get from Chiang Mai down to Bangkok, however all of the stops on the way are interesting historical sites such as Si Satchalanai, Sukhothai and Ayuthaya. A lot of the hotels are basic, with the exception of the Boutique Rafthouse on the River Kwai which provided a real treat for 2 nights. The highlights of this trip were the Elephant Nature Park, where the elephants truly roam free and are not there to entertain us tourists and the beautiful Erawan Waterfalls. I would ideally like to see this tour reversed to begin in Bangkok and end in Chiang Mai. I felt that there wasn’t enough time spent exploring Chiang Mai. Our tour leader, Wit, was the best tour leader I have expedited on the 10+ tours. I have done with Explore. One word of caution if you are planning to travel on this trip in April the pollution, smoke and smog were very high in the north.

AMAZING TRIP…. Tour Manager John the absolutely the BEST. It was an experience of a lifetime. It is hard to put into words or explain the wonders of each country. Book this trip and you won’t be disappointed. It far exceeded my expectations. The smaller group size for travel was a bonus. The hotel accommodations were excellent. The way John (tour manager) explained and provided all the necessary information each day was so helpful. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat .
