Indochina Chill out Trips

The Travel Director, Siri, was passionate and knowledgeable about her country and culture. She is steeply versed in the history, agricultural, political structure, environment, and religion of Thailand.

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!

Expensive compared to similar tours offered by other travel agencies. Tour is well organized with good hotel choices except for Bangkok.

The itinerary was beyond expectation - each experience was thoughtful and interesting. The variety was brilliant! From the Blue Elephant cooking class to the Hellfire Pass and museum, the range of experiences was amazing. Best of all was the day with the Buddhist Monk - we were all positively changed.

Was a great trip! See the main highlights and experience it from a local learning a lot along the way. Couldn't get a better CEO than Dollar.

This tour doesn’t go everywhere in Thailand, but what it covers, it covers really well. It’s a focused, meaningful itinerary that gives you a true taste of Thai culture, history and daily life without overwhelming you. If you’re someone who wants a rich experience but only has a little over a week, this is an ideal option. We started in Bangkok with a visit to the main temples, and right away it was clear the tour was well-paced. Wat Pho and the Marble Temple were all fascinating in different ways. The guide gave just enough history without dragging things out. The floating market was colorful, chaotic in the best way, and felt authentic, not staged. The river journey in Kanchanaburi was peaceful with just enough sightseeing mixed in. Ayutthaya was a beautiful finish before heading back to Bangkok. The ruins had an almost mystical quality to them especially in the softer afternoon light. Even the meals stood out..nothing fancy, but fresh, local, and tasty. A nice balance of comfort and authenticity. In short, this is a thoughtful tour. You’re not racing from city to city yet every day feels full. You come away with not just photos but a real sense of place. If you’re short on time but big on curiosity this one’s a great pick.
