What people love about Thailand Tours for Young Adults
- One Week in Thailand: Kayaking and Hilltribes
I highly recommend this tour! I feel like I really saw northernThailand. Traffic isn't just isolated to Bangkok and can have an impact on the schedule but the accomadations were comfortable. I can't praise our Gecko guide enough. She was knowledgeable, very friendly and made great food and leisure time recommendations. When two of our tour members fell ill from their previous travels she took care of them and helped them to get the medical care they needed while ensuring the rest of the group was taken care of. Normally I book travel based on how great of a deal I can get. Because of how safe and cared for I felt by our Gecko guide I would forgo shopping around and will consider them my first choice in the future.
