    My rating exceeds my expectations! The trip was exceptionally good and above all, thanks to the excellent tour guide Chit Kaumg Htut. He constantly went out of his way to make sure we were all very comfortable. He is the perfect tour guide. I have experienced many, but never as excellent as Chit!

    Great tour and Great tour leader! Love your work Pim. Nothing was too hard for her and the communication was excellent. Loved Laos and Northern Thailand! If I had one thing to say it would have been to spend a few extra days in Northern Thailand! Thanks G-Adventures for a great experience!

    It was a tour that was beyond my capabilities in terms of walking, climbing and navigating difficult footpaths. At 67 and only moderately disabled I found that this tour required a greater degree of ability. I am fit but the navigation through streets and countryside was challenging. It was not the tour for me.

    I recently went on a Thailand and Laos Adventure with G Adventure and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The trip was well-organized, informative, and provided a unique opportunity to explore two of the most fascinating countries in Southeast Asia. The trip started in Bangkok, Thailand, where we were introduced to our knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. From there, we headed north to Chiang Mai, where we explored the city's bustling markets and visited local temples. From Chiang Mai, we made our way into Laos, where we visited the ancient city of Luang Prabang. Here, we explored stunning waterfalls and took a peaceful boat ride on the Mekong River. We also had the opportunity to learn about the unique culture and history of Laos through visits to local museums and temples. One of the most memorable parts of the trip was our visit to a local village in Laos, where we had the chance to learn about traditional farming practices and meet with local families. This was a truly eye-opening experience that allowed us to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the local culture. Throughout the trip, our tour guide was always available to answer questions and provide helpful tips on how to navigate local customs and etiquette. The accommodations were comfortable and provided a good mix of modern amenities and local charm. Overall, I would highly recommend the Thailand and Laos Adventure with G Adventure to anyone who wants to experience the beauty and culture of Southeast Asia. It was a truly unforgettable trip that exceeded all of my expectations.

    G Adventures might not be for everyone. If you choose them on Tourradar do your homework. If you are over 6’ tall some of the transportation will be rough. Overnight train with 40 people and bunk beds might not be your thing.The hotels were average at best. Some had more working parts than others. But most of the stops were beautiful and fun. Crazy night life with 1000’s of people in the streets. 1000’s of motorcycles, horns beeping. Being 65 we had been looking for a little more comfort, but all said and done, it was an Adventure.

    Overall a wonderful experience, with an excellent tour guide... Anthony. It would be easy to wish for a little more time in some places but then you would only cover half of the distance in two weeks. The high light for me was the lazy boat trip through Laos

    Transport
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten September 2024

      We suggest that you pack as lightly as possible as your are expected to carry your own luggage. As a rule we try not to have to walk more than 15-20 minutes with your bags which is why we recommend keeping the weight of your bags between 10-15kg/22-30lb. Suitcases are not recommended for G Adventures trips! Most travellers carry a backpack or rolling bag of small to medium size (no XXL ones please!) as they need to fit under the beds when travelling on sleeper trains.
