    Overall my experience was excellent. The tour started out poorly because Intrepid had planned the tour to begin in Bangkok during a holiday period. The palace was closed because the king was in town (Intrepid should have known this and we did not get to see the palace) and the traffic getting out of Bangkok was very bad. It took 4 hours to go 78 miles. After that, the tour was as expected and very good.

    We really enjoyed and can recommend this trip. Our trip leader Arjan ( Jane ) Boonyoung did a excellent job. The first 3 days were a little bit tough on our elderly people in the group. ( 3 different places to visit per day) But from day 4 on just great experience. We would do it again with Jane, she was able to answer all the questions professionally.

    Our tour guide Nine was fantastic. I got food poisoning during the tour and he went above and beyond to make sure I was okay, even taking me to the nearest hospital, which was a great experience in itself.

    Hi Anna, Thank you for your review, great to read that Nine was fantastic, we do pride ourselves on our Tour Leaders. Sorry to hear you got food poisoning but glad you still had a great experience overall. Intrepid Travel

    Everything on this trip went off without a hitch, thanks largely to our guide, Naa. She worked tirelessly on our behalf, and still managed to keep a friendly, upbeat attitude.

    The trip lived up to my expectations with regard to level of comfort, activities, time on our own. The guide was aware of our needs and met them happily.

    Having travelled with Intrepid on ""Beautiful Northern Thailand"", ""Best of Central Europe"" and ""Everest Base Camp"" I really had greater expectations in terms of culture, level of activity and enthusiasm. I enjoyed the cooking class in Chiang Mai but felt we could have been giving a few more ideas of places to go (general motivation/ enthusiasm from the guide) in Chiang Mai. I thought the Hmong Cultural show at the Hmong lodge was OK. I don’t believe we “Make some new pachyderm pals at the unique Friends of the Asia Elephants Hospital” and several member of the group felt the visit was underwhelming.I’m sure they do great work but we were along way from the animals and relied on our guides knowledge. I felt our leisurely cycle around Sukhothai was far too short at just about 2 hrs.I would have spent most if not all of the day there or at least have been given that option.It was a long drive to Sukhothai for what felt like a relatively short time. .
