I absolutely loved this trip. We had a fabulous tour leader and a lovely group of 15 like-minded travellers broadly aged from 20’s to 70’s which really added to our experience. So many great memories packed into every day - from the overnight train to Chiang Mai, to swimming in waterfalls - all the time feeling safe and looked after. A wonderful holiday.

Around 6pm, say sawasdee to your tour leader and fellow travellers, when we gather as a group for the first time to get to know each other and learn more about the adventures ahead.
Your tour leader then ensures a big Thai welcome by arranging a group dinner at a local restaurant.
