This trip is varied and covers a lot of different areas of interest, cultural, historical and natural. It is important to have realistic expectations of the overnight train and the homestay - neither are luxurious but that isn't the point. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very helpful, really looked after us and was thoughtful in booking us space on the train over the River Kwai which isn't routine. That day is particularly powerful and thought provoking. We did the skywalk in Bangkok in a free afternoon which is amazing. As you would expect there are some longish drives - up to 4.5 hours, so not too bad. Elephant sanctuary a highlight for me, homestay, River Kwai and Chiang Mai night markets also. Lots of temples!

Our trip to Thailand with National Geographic / G Adventures was an unforgettable, amazing trip. Our itinerary afforded us unique experiences to connect with local people and culture. Our CEO treated us like family and made each activity more meaningful and more fun.

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!

I spent a couple of days myself in Bangkok and found that wonderful, not sure why no city activities are included, but those days definitely added to my view of Thailand. Also not sure why we didn't go to chiang mai but overall it provided a lovely contrast of history and current cultural and spiritual customs. And the scenery is beautiful
