Excellent. I went looking for an adventure & I found it. I was humbled by the experience & I have a greater appreciation for what is most important in life - that's happiness. Thailand is truly magical & I'll be definitely going back one day.

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.

We were a group of 16 travelling in 2 minibuses. Had we been in 1 coach we would have been able to ask our leader for information about the country's way of life, eg health, education, politics etc., for the whole group to benefit from. For me this info is an important part of the visit to a foreign country.

I truly enjoyed my experience with GAdventures. The SouthEast Asia encompassed tour was a great way to see the highlights of 4 different countries. It was a great opportunity to truly experience each culture and give back to the communities. The tour leader really makes the experience as positive as it was. It wouldn’t be the same without Chen!

Incredible destinations, delicious cuisine, and unforgettable experiences made this tour exceptional. However, what truly set it apart was our CEO guide, Apple. Her professionalism, extensive knowledge, organization, humor, and passion for her role enhanced every moment. She handled challenges fearlessly and, above all, ensured the safety of every traveler. I would highly recommend G Adventures to friends and family, and Apple as the guide. Thank you, Apple, for an amazing journey!

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!
