    Everything on this trip went off without a hitch, thanks largely to our guide, Naa. She worked tirelessly on our behalf, and still managed to keep a friendly, upbeat attitude.

    Having travelled with Intrepid on ""Beautiful Northern Thailand"", ""Best of Central Europe"" and ""Everest Base Camp"" I really had greater expectations in terms of culture, level of activity and enthusiasm. I enjoyed the cooking class in Chiang Mai but felt we could have been giving a few more ideas of places to go (general motivation/ enthusiasm from the guide) in Chiang Mai. I thought the Hmong Cultural show at the Hmong lodge was OK. I don’t believe we “Make some new pachyderm pals at the unique Friends of the Asia Elephants Hospital” and several member of the group felt the visit was underwhelming.I’m sure they do great work but we were along way from the animals and relied on our guides knowledge. I felt our leisurely cycle around Sukhothai was far too short at just about 2 hrs.I would have spent most if not all of the day there or at least have been given that option.It was a long drive to Sukhothai for what felt like a relatively short time. .
