- Lewis· September 10th, 2018Went on this Contiki Tour and Larrissa is a pretty good tour manager who gave good info about southern Thailand. The hotels were pretty good and the fun things were awesome. Things I should point out is that Thai owned businesses will take good care of you compared to some of the ex-pats businesses that have connections with contiki. The good side I made some good friends on the tour and its one of the best times of my life.Show moreTrip date: June 2016
