    The tour guide Jill was absolutely amazing. The tour itself was a great quick view of Thailand and its culture. Would definitely say it’s designed more for 30+ age group.

    G Adventures, is an amazing company, with professional CEOs and sales personnel. I do however believe that the CEO is what makes you trip. Ours Samart Srisoda (Joe) has incredible energy and personality that made the trip very enjoyable and entertaining from day one!! This together with his local knowledge, of the locations and food gave us a truly unique experience. I was thrilled that he was a former monk as it gave me insight into Buddhism that only someone in his position could do. This really assisted us when we were at the temples as he could answer any questions. Thoughtout the trip he made sure we were all comfortable and helped us attain anything we needed. He also added a special touch by creating a group chat, reminding us each night what we would be doing the next day, and a photo sharing app. This was extremely handy, as he also captured moments we couldn't. When I travel to Thailand again I would requested Joe as a CEO that's how incredible he is.

  • G

    Gail

    Asked on April 1st, 2025

    is it possible to see Hellfire pass instead of other activity?

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten April 2025

      Hellfire Pass is a couple of hours from Kanchanaburi. This would be possible on Day 3 (your full day in Kanchanaburi), but you would miss sightseeing at Erawan Falls and the Bridge on the River Kwai. The additional cost for Hellfire Pass would also need to be covered by you.

    Is it safe in sharing room with same gender? Is the cost cheaper for room? How much is the cost of shared room?

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2025

      We believe that travelling by yourself shouldn't be more expensive. We treat single travellers the same as the rest of the group, which is why we don't charge single supplements. We'll partner you up with a same-sex roommate to ensure you pay the same as everyone else. Don't want to share a room? No problem. Sometimes it's just more convenient and comfortable to have your own room, which is why we offer single travellers a "My Own Room" option—a single room all to yourself at a great G Adventures price. Solo travel that is female-friendly. Our small group tours are perfect for helping solo female travellers feel safe anywhere in the world we visit. If you have any questions, our CEOs are ready with tips on how to respect cultural traditions or local dress. Use free time to explore your way, or maybe someone from the group (or your same-sex roommate) will want to tag along.
