We had an incredible vacation in Thailand. We went to Bangkok and Krabi. In Bangkok we had a guide, Annie, who did an amazing job of navigating the streets of Bangkok and taking the best pictures, ordering the best food and taking care to show us the temples, markets and culinary treats of the region.
In Krabi, we enjoyed the Following Giants Elephant Sanctuary, the guides were very knowledgeable and respectful about the care and treatment of the elephants.
Kayaking on the Khlong Nam was fantastic and we got an early start and had the place to ourselves before it got busy and we learned about pineapple farming as well as rubber and palm.
Phi Phi islands was also impressive, beautiful beaches and tasy lunch, guides were great.

Activity Reviews
We had a great time, exhilerating tuk tuk ride and great sites plus lots of great food. It started with rooftop beers at sunset and then Annie took us to the best street food stalls and china town, there was lots of great food, including coconut ice cream and she gave us mango sticky rice to go, we were surprised everything was included.
This was a place where you could tell everyone was really dedicated to the well being of the elephants and our guide Pim was especially knowledgable and respectful of how sensitive the elephants are. They are also forthcoming about the healing of intergenerational trauma for both the humans and the elephants.
We went early, pick up around 7am and they gave us a delicious breakfast and we got on the water before anyone else was there. The water is so clear you can see the fish swimming. We had a guide and another person who took pictures for us and we were able to swim. Afterwards we saw the pineapple farm and also learned about rubber harvesting and palm oil.
