What people love about touring Southern Thailand solo
- Essential Southern Thailand
Great tour if you want to see and do a lot in a short amount of time! It was so nice to be able to sit back and be told where to go when, and end up in some incredible destinations! Make sure to check the optional extras before booking - I did a lot of research as there were too many good ones to choose from. Would definitely travel with Intrepid again!
- Thailand Island Hopper - Feel Free Travel
WOW! Just Wow. I was concerned about getting around Thailand and not knowing anything but these guys REALLY know what they are doing, especially Adam; perfect combination of fun, knowledge and safety, which I think is important if you're a bit apprehensive in a new country. I really felt looked after and for the money I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat! #Goujons2019 <3
- Thai Island Hopper West (Standard)
Lee is an exceptional TM. She has knowledge of the local area and brilliant rapport with the locals. She takes the time to ensure everyone on the trip gets their individual wants met whilst on the tour. She is very approachable and communicates effectively. Couldn't have asked for a more fun and caring TM. Keep up the good work Lee!
