It was fun got to meet new people and learn new things it’s nice to get out of your comfort zone sometimes and explore the world, especially with g adventures
We had a great time exploring the hilltribes. It was a unique experience being able to hike from village to village and experience a true local culture with knowledgeable guides.
I had a great time traveling with G Adventures in Thailand! Our CEO was absolutely amazing- kind, knowledgeable, and super helpful with planning for free time. There were so many fun options our CEO helped us organize, including transportation so we could make the most of our time! The opportunity to stay in local villages and see their way of life was a once and a lifetime experience I couldn’t find anywhere else. G Adventures prioritizes supporting local tourism and communities in a respectful way while providing travelers with unique experiences and the resources they need to safely navigate in a foreign country where they don’t speak the language.
Chiang Mai was my favorite portion of the trip, and despite the difficulty of the trek, it was a great experience. Nonnie was fantastic.
A unique experience being able to visit / stay with the hilltribes in Northern Thailand, as well as having time to see the larger cities. Our CEO Mai was exceptional and ensured everyone got what they hoped for out of the trip!
Very fun adventure!
Fantastic trip - great balance between travelling, exploring and enjoying the overall experience!
To sum up my experience in one paragraph is an injustice to the beauty and bonds shared on this trip, with the CEO and now good friends I've come to meet. Even to share this trip with my partner by my side has enriched our relationship beyond what we previously had. I get teary-eyed when I think of the time spent hiking through the jungle, sharing wonderful meals at the market, playing cards games on the train, visiting the temples, feeding the elephants, listening to our CEO tell us about the city and people. It all is so majestically overwhelming in the best way possible. This trip was the best one of my life so far!
