This was my third trip with G Adventures. The Cambodia & Thailand adventure was another amazing, unforgettable trip. Our CEO, Chan, was terrific. He worked so hard but also made it look so easy to keep us on schedule while arranging so many transports, activities and meals during our trip. His knowledge of the area and his fun energy made the trip even more special. The small group that we traveled with started as strangers but soon became fun and interesting travel companions adding even more enjoyment to our trip.
