What people love about Thailand Tours in April
- River Kwai & Ancient Thai Kingdoms
River Kwai & Ancient Thai Kingdoms Tour This was a fabulous three day tour covering a variety of scenic, cultural, religious and historical sites which we found interesting, enjoyable and emotional at times. We had an excellent guide, Nai, a friendly and conscientious young man, who had a wealth of knowledge about all the places we visited along with the traditions, food and lifestyle of the Thai people. He gave us the opportunity to actively participate in the visits to the Temples and Summer Palace which deepened our understanding and enjoyment. The ruins of Ayutthaya were imposing and covered a wide area. Erawan National Park and waterfall were very nice although we would have liked more time to climb to the upper levels. One of the highlights of the trip was the visit to the Hellfire Pass Interpretive Centre and Memorial Walkway. The presentation of the horrific sufferings of the Allied POW’s ad Asian conscripts is sensitively done and the walk is very evocative. The train journey along the tracks of the original death railway was actually still an operating service used daily by workers and school children. Nai introduced us to the night markets in Kanchanaburi and supported our choices whilst eating with the locals. Walking over the River Kwai Bridge and taking a rickshaw to the Allied War Cemetery was a unique experience. The Cemetery and Museum reinforced the sad history of this place. We would highly recommend this very memorable tour which we know was enhanced by having such a great tour guide and accommodating driver, Mr. Bob.
- Thailand Real Food Adventure
The tourguid Nai is caring, smart, friendly and very good organizer. Highly recommended this food tour with him. Many of the new life experiences and enjoy the trip!
- Bangkok to Chiang Mai Express
This was a fantastic tour! I loved the itinerary. It included everything from seeing ancient to modern temples, riding in a raft house in a crystal clear lake and swimming and canoeing in the lake, hiking in a lush waterfall park, sliding down the waterfalls, learning about the Death railway and seeing how life continues to thrive even after such tragedy, and amazing Chiangmai. You will really love it! Samart is a wonderful, kind, hilarious, playful, energetic and wise guide. He was a monk for 9 years and has very interesting stories to tell about his experiences as a monk and as a child in Thailand. He is an inspiring person and fun loving too, and would have lots of ideas about fun things to do after dinner. Give yourself the gift of this trip. You'll be grateful that you did!
