What an incredible adventure! The itinerary was excellent and our Thai tour guide Siri was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable and worked hard to ensure that everything ran smoothly, that everyone felt engaged and that we would never go hungry by sharing many tasty Thai snacks. Cambodia was a great addition, exploring various temples and local culture. Highly recommend this tour!
