My friend had used LJ biz years earlier for a Thailand trip and recommended them to me. We had a wonderful time with great food and lots of adventure. Everything was coordinated smoothly and the trip and itinerary was a great value. We were traveling with my 16 year old son. The highlight of the trip was the 2 day trek into the countryside to meet and stay with the Hill tribes. The people were fascinating and gracious, and the countryside was beautiful. This was a wonderful trip and a wonderful tour company.
