It was so nice to be able to sit back and be told where to go when, and end up in some incredible destinations!

- UNUrshia· January 4th, 2018Super South was an amazing adventure! Loved every single second of it. I went alone as a first-time solo traveler and I think it was the best possible way to ease into travelling alone. Our group was small, about 4 people plus our guide, but I felt we made a really good connection and got along really well. The activities that were included were incredibly fun and unforgettable, and our tour guide Pui gave us great suggestions for what we could do in our free time. Had a blast and would 100% do it again. Miss it already!Show moreTrip date: December 2017

Traveler•Written February 2025Would I be turned away from the younger trip and not allowed to join? I'm super active and healthy. Seems there needs to be some trips that include 40/50 something year olds without going all the way up to 99 years old.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written March 2025
The age cut off for this trip is 35. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept anyone above this age as this trip is specifically designed for travelers who prefer to travel with others around the same age as them.

Asked on August 6th, 2024Does this tour include the railway market and damnern saduak floating market?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2024
Since this itinerary is focused more on the beachy side of Thailand it does not include ant of the rail or floating markets. If you are info more of the markets I would suggest Northern Thailand and maybe a longer trip that also includes the beach that way you get a little bit of both.

Renee
Traveler•Written August 2024can you share some other recommendations that would include the beach, national park, Bangkok and the market?
