- JPJoanne· January 24th, 2023Very nice balance of long travel days followed more settled sight seeing day. Loved the freetime options occasionally too, often tours are so critivall3timed, no sparetime to shop for souvenirs or just do as you wish.

- DDDan· March 3rd, 2020It was a far out experience indeed! This tour is full of exciting places visited and offered a variety in the itinerary. To add icing on the cake, we were so pleased with our tour guide, Suchin Temo who was an active, up to date, informative and fun person to be around with, to say the least. He's innovative and caring and his experience and mastery of his job is what is exemplified the whole time we were with him. We won’t mind booking another tour with him as our guide as we never had a dull moment with him at all. Our driver was an added bonus as he was an expert on the area as well as a safe chauffeur too. Overall it was an AAAAAAA+++++++ Experience! We are among the satisfied customers of Intrepid!Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewThanks Dan! This might be our first time ever getting a 'AAAAAAA+++++++' and your feedback has made our day. We're so happy you enjoyed your trip, leader Suchin, and Thailand that much.Trip date: February 2020

- ALorena V· September 18th, 2019Beautiful days spent/ shared with lovely, insightful, friendly guide and group/ bunch of people from across the globe.Honestly can say most fun, best time I've had in quite a while! Connections/ friendships formed amidst fun activity, beautiful/amazing scenery, great food and authentic & real lifestyle and culture. Rated ""Good"" only due to DAY 1 not being A DAY, having lost quite some time on couple days due to travelling during day (travel would have been best, better at night) and FINAL day finishing too early (pretty much shortly after we arrived back at hotel).Show moreTrip date: December 2018

Jeff
Asked on January 24th, 2024I would like to book this tour but I will be carrying a heavy backpack with me. How will luggages be handled during the tour and going to different places?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written January 2024
We recommend you pack as lightly as possible and make sure that you are able to carry and lift your own luggage and walk with it for short distances or up or down a flight of stairs. Our travellers usually find the smaller their luggage is, the more they enjoy the trip not having to worry about carrying heavy bags! Aim to keep your main luggage under 15kg. Many travellers carry their luggage in a compact smaller suitcase or backpack with wheels. We recommend your bag has carry straps or handles so it is easy to lift and carry for the times you are unable to wheel it (ie. on rough surfaces or up steps). In the overnight train the luggage travels in the carriage with the group.

Morgan
Asked on December 18th, 2023What are the names of hotels for each city?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written December 2023
We can request for the list of hotels for this departure once the trip has been booked and it usually takes 3-4 business days for our local operators to provide an update on trip confirmation.
- J
Jenny
Asked on November 14th, 2023Do I need any special documentation for the tour?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written November 2023
No special documentation is needed, but saving a copy of your booking confirmation is recommended for your first day.
