We are a family of 5 who enjoyed a 9-day vacation in Thailand. We visited Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket. All three destinations exceeded our expectations. It was a pleasure working with Lindy, our travel representative. She was always available to promptly answer our questions and consistently checked in throughout the trip to ensure we were happy with the accommodations, transfer services, and activities. Thank you, Lindy!
We had a fabulous couple of weeks in Thailand with Explore. The tour visited most of the places we had hoped to go to independently but cut out all the stress of trying to organise it. There was enough unstructured free time to do a few little tours of our own. Our tour guide Super Jeff was fantastic and the whole group were really sad to say goodbye to him at the end. Lots of fun opportunities to travel on or jump into water. Other members of group were interesting and fun. Lots of great food. The two night train trips were surprisingly comfortable and easy. My family loved the Thai boxing morning. Good mix of culture, adventure, beach. The only disappointment was the day boat trip to Ang Thong marine reserve - very busy and touristy, long time on big boat, food not great and the snorkelling was almost non-existent. We wished we'd taken the day off on our own to spend more time on the beach or take a proper snorkelling tour.
Wow!
This trip was just incredible.Temples,Buddhas,meeting elephants,travelling on the Death railway ,swimming in the river Kwai and so much more. If you want to learn about the history and culture of this beautiful country then this is the trip for you.
Our guide Wit was absolutely outstanding and he made the trip so special.
This was our first trip with Explore and we will definitely be booking another.
