Great Two Weeks in Thailand

Elena was a dream to work with and flawlessly dealt with our shifting numbers, optional day activities and requests all the way through the trip. We dined at a long list of amazing places including a family home and Michelin-star restaurants. Highly recommend!!
We loved our guides. In Bangkok, Nana took great care of us. My daughter and I added an afternoon with her to see “local neighborhoods” and it was our favorite. Highly recommend. She took us to the flower market; we saw great street art; a unique tea shop and a small chocolate shop.
In Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, we loved our time with Pong. We learned so much from her and felt her love for Thailand through her stories and interactions with local people. She also helped me navigate food since I am celiac and eat gluten-free. She is a true host with a warm and caring manner.
We loved learning about Buddhism and the history of Thailand from both Pong and Nana.
We particularly loved our bike tour in Chiang Mai (thanks Hockey). And loved the Elephant Sanctuary - highly recommend. The cooking school was perhaps our all time favorite cooking class - and we have done them all over the world. Again, great attention to my need to avoid gluten by our chef Tom.
We would not recommend the floating market outside Bangkok. It was way too touristy for us.
We finished our trip in Koh Samui. The hotel manager Aimee was so good at welcoming us and making sure we had a perfect stay. And we had a lovely lunch at The Cliffs and a beautiful dinner at The Four Seasons.
We did wonder about accommodations on the other side of the island where the water seemed a bit clearer and more blue bc of the rock and sand. But we had a lovely visit to that side of the island.
Hotel Reviews
Loved this property with a beautiful pool. Wished it had a bar.
Really nice hotel with excellent service.
Great service! Aimee too great care of us. Had really delicious, impromptu dinner for our group of 13. Loved the fire show!
Really nice rooms and property. Had nice facial at spa. Restaurant and bar were nice with great breakfasts. restaurant could not handle our group of 13 guests for dinner very well … even though we had reservation. If you have large group, you might choose differently. That said, the service team was very polite and responsive; there just weren’t enough of them.
Great hotel for last night. Good restaurant options and really nice pool!
