A fantastic trip with i thoroughly enjoyed
Wonderful experience! Beautiful beaches and wonderful memories! There was one hiccup where a hotel on Phi Phi was overbooked tor many people (however, the agency was on the phone calling and helping assist in a transfer to an alternative hotel). Also be sure to go down to the beaches in the evening, where there are often free fire shows, which are a great experience!
