    I went tthe wrong time of year, the heat and humidity were almost unbearable. The guide Buddy was very organised and everything went seamlessly with no organisational issues. There was a good mix of people, single women and men and some couples. There were lots of activities but not any really must see sights, if I had known earlier I would have taken the opportunity to see the long neck hill tribes from Chaing Mai and hot air ballooning in Vang Vieng, by the time I had all the details of these activites and researched safety, etc it was too late. Intrepid apparently does not encourage those activities. The elephant expereince was amazing and the two days on a boat down the Mekong, the food was very good on the whole, and there was no problem getting vegetarian food.

    Our guide,Shu,, was excellent. He went above and beyond to help us. It was a really great experience. The only thing that wasn’t so good was that the first hotel we stayed at was in a poor area and appeared to be in the red light area. Our stay in the country was excellent and the people who let us into their home were excellent.
