Emily Carter
This was the perfect trip! Everything was well-organized, from the temples in Bangkok to the elephants in Chiang Mai. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history to life. I especially loved the elephant sanctuary experience; it was so moving to interact with them in such a respectful way. Highly recommend for first-timers to Thailand!

A very comprehensive itinerary that covered all the major highlights. The accommodations were great and the transportation was comfortable. The only downside was that some of the bus journeys were quite long, especially between cities. Overall though, a fantastic experience and a great way to see many different sides of Thailand.
