Thailand Cruise Trips

Overall, the explore elements of the trip were great, the Elephant walking was wonderful and interesting (could write more but I don't want to give any spoilers) and the kayaking through the mangroves were highlights. Some of the optional trips were less good - mainly the bio luminescent trip. I wouldn't recommend this trip to people as it isn't what was advertised in the local trip notes. It was commercialised travel on a speed boat with only 30 minutes of snorkelling at one destination (we were told several sights of snorkelling) and the swim with the bio luminesence was good but that was only for 10 minutes. Additionally the organisation of the trip (after the explore guide had booked) was horrendous. We were on and off buses/taxis and no clue where we were heading. We did eventually get the right boat, but I wouldn't recommend this optional extra to others. We were lucky with the time of year we went and were able to experience a couple of night markets which are well worth visiting for the local food. Our guide Por, was kind and caring and ensured we got to the right pier at the right time. Some of the speed boat people are a little hap hazard with your luggage, so you will need a strong piece of luggage. Overall though, a great trip to see many islands, see the sun, sea and sand (though we did have a lot of thunder and rain through out the trip too). There is a good mix of activities and relax time though I think my favourite island was Koh Hai - the first island.

I have completed the thailand and vietnam experience, and would highly recommend to everyone. The group leaders are so knowledgable and it’s like a big group of friends travelling not a tour.

This trip was such a great way for our family to explore both Vietnam and Thailand. The itinerary was good with interesting experiences. Hotels were comfy, guides were friendly, knowledgeable about places, and the food was amazing. Really appreciate how the team organized everything professionally.

The Angkor Wat sunrise was on my bucket list, and I so happy I've done it. But the surprise highlight was the tea-making experience in Ri Village. Mr. Duoc reminded me of my grandfather with all his stories. We sat under a tree sipping the tea we helped make and it was unexpectedly emotional for me.

We have just returned after 15 days through four destinations in Southeast Asia. The travel team organized the trip perfectly. We visited most of the highlight attractions. The culture, history, and cuisine in all four countries were rich and diverse. I was especially impressed by the Vietnamese food and the temples in Thailand. I hope we will have more time to explore Cambodia and Laos in the future. We will definitely choose this team again for our next adventure in Southeast Asia. Highly recommended.

The experience we had was a once in a lifetime opportunity! From the knowledge and the amount you were able to do in a day. There was always something for everyone.
