This was my first solo trip ever and it was the best trip that I’ve ever been on. From having the best group of girls to the best tour guide ever— it has truly been an amazing experience that I’m not ready to have it end. Ming is the best tour guide and has made this trip so seamless and enjoyable for all of us. She’s prepared, always there to help us and gives the best recommendations. She truly would give the shirt off of her back for any of us and my first solo trip wouldn’t have been this much fun with any other tour guide. I can’t say enough good things about Ming truly. The sweetest soul ever and I’m so happy to have had her as my guide this trip. 🤍

This tour was so amazing and Smile made sure it was for all of us!!! He’s an amazing guide, friend, comedian and bodyguard ;)! I couldn’t have wished for a better tour guide. He made sure everyone was comfortable and having fun all the time. We learned so much about the culture and history of Thailand. My favorite part of this trip was the jungle trek and sleeping in the local village. Playing with the kids, seeing them happy and giving them snacks and toys was something that gave me so much joy. Thank you Smile for making this trip unforgettable!

I can’t express how amazing this tour has been, it was beyond expectations! I was really nervous to join a tour not knowing anyone but Milin was so friendly and welcoming from the beginning. The experiences we had (elephant home, water park, cooking class etc) were all surreal, and I’m so glad that we got to take part in that. Milin has been such an excellent travel ninja, she is always so happy and smiley, fun and caring and always ensuring that everyone is enjoying and well looked after. We’ve had the best time and made amazing memories with amazing people. Thank you so much Milin!! 🫶🏻🐰

Thailand was incredible!!!! The people here are very nice, and all the hotels and transfer services in Thailand were good quality. The trip was smooth, we didn't have any complain. Big thanks to the team!! In my opinion, Phuket was the highlight for me, the beach was gorgeous, and the nightlife was so much fun. Highly recommend this trip!!!
I had Sea as my tour guide and she has been by far the best tour guide I have ever had!!!! I’ve been on multiple tours and she was so incredible and lovely, she made the trip so fun with her bright bubbly, funny and kind personality!! She made sure to include everyone and remember things about each person. She was so caring and went above and beyond even after we were done the tour, she helped us organize our transfers to our next destination and made sure we were safe every step of the way. On the tour she was so nice and got so many good photos for us and gave us so much information about Thailand and our itinerary. She was also an amazing friend that we met along the way, she helped when I wasn’t feeling well and got everyone medication when we needed it. She always brought amazing energy to our days and it was so nice to have her as a tour guide. I would love to have her for every tour if I could!!! Thank you so much Sea for everything you did.
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!

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.

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!

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.
