I enjoyed learning, seeing, tasting, and getting involved in the local culture. An unforgettable experience I would not be able to replicate on my own.

I just finished the 12 day intro trip in Thailand. It was the most incredible trip. I was originally booked onto 9 days but made some amazing friends and was having too much fun so had to extend. This is the best way to travel stress free, the organisation is great and the activities are so much fun. We had Ellie as our group leader and she was amazing. She was always keeping the vibes high and showing us her best dance moves. I would really recommend travelling with intro and will definately be using them again soon.
This trip was absolutely amazing! From the local tour guide, whose passion shown through when she shared different aspects of her country to the places we visited, I can’t imagine a better experience

Journeys: Iconic Thailand was a fabulous experience!!! We had the most wonderful tour guide (shout out to Natthanan Chai Yenklom--the very best!!!!) who looked after every detail and made the experience comfortable and enjoyable for each person on the trip. I loved the varied activities--the home visit and cooking class in Chiang Mai; Ko Klang Island and Hong Island in Southern Thailand; and the amazing temples in Bangkok were particular highlights for me on the trip. I would do another National Geographic Journeys/G Adventures tour in the future!

Overall, the trip was amazing! I had the luxury of having two trip managers (one for North Thailand and one for South Thailand) and both and were awesome. Kind, organised and went out of their way to make sure people were safe and having a good time. helped arranged extra activities such as a cabaret show and muay thai fight and being Thai knew all the good spots in town to hit. The trip is fast paced and you pack a lot in during 2 weeks but it was a great way to see Thailand North-South. Highlights included Chiang Mai, the elephant sanctuary and both the river raft stays which were both very picturesque and serene. All together I had a great time!
