I LOVED this trip!!! Everything about it was outstanding! Our travel companions were loads of FUN and our tour leader, Wit, was AMAZING! We became a 'group' rather quickly as everyone had a great sense of humor and an inquisitive mind which are two essentials for any exciting travel experience and we made new friends along the way that we’ll continue to keep in touch with. And what an experience it was!!! There was beautiful scenery; exciting history; night markets; excellent food; elephants; stunning temples; quaint villages; overnight train journeys; a beautiful homestay with traditional food; 2 nights in a raft house on the River Kwai, exploring an old city on bicycle; a journey on the Death Railway; a visit to the famous Bridge over the River Kwai; and I could go on and on!!! THIS tour was OUTSTANDING and I have to say I credit our wonderful guide, Wit, for sharing his culture and for being so personally sensitive to all our needs! I learned so much from him about the Thai people, their way of life, their spiritual beliefs, their history, and so much more!! He is an exceptional person…kind, caring, great sense of humor, humble, sensitive, professional, and, frankly he made the trip extra beautiful for me!!! He is a true gem! It was an amazing journey and we made new friends along the way! THANK YOU EXPLORE!!

I went on the 18 day Thailand intro and had the trip of a lifetime! Everything from even before we arrived was very organised which led to a completely stress free trip. Our group leader Zoe was amazing, bringing such positive vibes from day 1, and provided complete support throughout the trip and for onward travel. Our local guide Aei-ki was fantastic and provided cultural knowledge as we went round. Would highly recommend Intro travel and this amazing country!

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.

The itinerary was nicely balanced. It included the main sights in the places visited along with down time to rest and refresh. If keeping busy was more to your liking, there were many excellent optional tours. The coach was comfortable and kept clean. Loved the hotels. The Galleria 10 in Bangkok was in an excellent location, within walking distance to restaurants, convenience stores, and the sky train. Their 2 for 1 daily Happy Hour was a nice way to unwind after a busy day of sightseeing. Thoroughly enjoyed the other hotels which also offered pools for relaxation - in Kanchanaburi, Sukhothai, Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai. The hotel in Kanchanaburi was within walking distance of the famous Bridge over the river Kwai which was a bonus. The hotel in Chiang Rai was within walking distance to additonal sights not included in the tour as well as to excellent restaurants. All the hotels offered a good selection of options for daily breakfast as well as for the included dinners.

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.
