We had a wonderful time, really enjoyed it. Elena paid a lot of attention and detail to modifying our agenda and was on the spot and on top of changes.
Bangkok- Pow was great, he had all the details planned out, was vey informative and understanding of the history and questions that we had.
Chaig Mai - Bam Bam was very friendly, personable and everyone got along good with her.
Phuket - our guide on the boat was Nick, he was fabulous, he showed us everything and was very informative and fiendly. He went out of his way to accommodate us.
Thai - we did not see much of him, he met us at the airport to the hotel, then took us back to the hotel two days later.

This was the highlight of our trip. Nick was so good as were the whole crew! Canoeing into the caves and seeing the laguna was a lifetime experience, a wonder of nature. No where else found in the world.

It was hot and too many people, not a great experience unless one wants to see lots of market stuff to dicker on.
