This trip was incredible. First of all...Katie is the best tour guide ever and the most amazing person! She is the best :) The Essential Thailand tour was great and I would definitely do it again... beautiful temples, scenery and elephants in the north and then stunning islands in the south! It's the perfect trip if you want to see as much of Thailand as possible!
