What an incredible trip...!
Thailand

Nov 8 - Nov 26, 2025
We had incredible guides who absolutely made this trip, but the two we had the longest really stand out - Naa, and then Nui. Their English was excellent and they were more than willing to share experiences and answer questions. They took us places that we never would have found on our own. Not only were they lovely people but they were very knowledgeable about the history and architecture - two of our favourite topics!
The planning with George, the many phones calls and emails, meant we had a trip really tailored to our interests. The fact that Kim Kim asked questions and had us fill out a survey helped me zero in on what we wanted. Plus I had done a ton of research. Once he found out what our interests were, George made additional suggestions for places we hadn’t thought of that ended up being standouts - Kanchanaburi and Erawan Falls, the cooking class in Chiang Mai, the food tour in Bangkok, the hike in Op Luong National Park, the canal tour in Bangkok and the dinner reservations at B Samcook in Chiang Mai (possibly the best meal we have ever had!) and the dinner cruise in Bangkok.
Honestly, there was not one single experience that we had on this trip where we were even remotely disappointed or felt let down. We ended every day saying ‘wow what an incredible day’. I’ve travelled enough to know how unusual that is!
Hotel Reviews
Great location, lovely rooms, very pleasant staff! Buffet breakfast was also great.
The family that runs this hotel is beyond delightful! So kind and helpful, offering great service. I think it might be hard to stay here if you didn’t have transportation but we did. The pool was lovely and the room very comfortable. A lovely breakfast and beautiful grounds!
Absolutely stunning hotel! Pool area was gorgeous and our room was beautiful! Great breakfast too.
Such a unique location - on the river. The room was unbelievable - and the views from our porch, especially as the sun set with the lights twinkling was beautiful. Lovely restaurant too - good breaky and dinner.
Loved the location of this hotel. We were in the old town so the area was fascinating to walk around. All felt very authentic. We could walk to the river to catch the public transport boat and tons of restaurants around.
Activity Reviews
Such a great day!!! The staff was incredible - funny, entertaining and taught us a lot about Thai food! And it was all delicious!
This was a beautiful hike up to Wat Pha Lat and also one of our favourite temples. It was just so beautiful and in such a serene, nature-filled spot. We drove the rest of the way up Doi Suthep but were really glad we had hiked the first part.
We really enjoyed the hike through the rice fields and into the areas with the village tribes. It was beautiful and really interesting.
Probably the best meal we have ever had! And he was incredibly personable and interesting, spending time with every table!
