    We have just returned from the 14 day tour with our guide Sky who was brilliant. The tour provides a good mix of culture, locations and time for you to explore yourself which is what we were looking for.

    Great tour with fabulous activities and tour guide. Most days were pretty full with only a couple of “free days”. I knocked a star off as some of the accommodations were quite poor, even at a 2-3 star level.

    Tor was a great guide for our group, he participated in activities with us and came out in evenings and made suggestions of places for us to go. For example we did the river festival in kanchanburri which wasn't on the itinerary etc. Gave us a quick message with the following days plans etcm

    Ich war begeistert vom Team Peanut und Butter. Sie haben alles professionell organisiert. Sie sind mit zusätzlichen Ideen für die freie Zeit der Reise gekommen. Peanut war immer ein guter Ansprechpartner bei allen Problemen und Fragen. Sie waren immer gut gelaunt, mit einem netten Spruch auf den Lippen. Ich habe mich bei ihnen immer wohlgefühlt.

    This was the trip of a lifetime! The tour is so varied and every activity was totally brilliant, I literally cannot put to words how amazing it was! We had a brilliant group and Peanut and Butter made us a family, it was so sad to finish the tour but the memories I’ve got from this trip are priceless. From seeing the elephants to the cooking class and to having dinner with everyone each night, it was all completely outstanding and so well organised. I don’t have a single complaint, and the best part of it was my tour guides, Peanut and Butter. Their knowledge about everything we saw was amazing, they’re just the funniest and loveliest people who will help you with absolutely anything you could need or want, most definitely going above and beyond at every step in any way possible. I’m going to miss them so so much! Thank you for the most incredible and unforgettable journey, I feel so lucky to have experienced this and I’ve made friends for life

    I had Peanut as my tour guide and I couldn’t recommend anyone more. As an year old solo travelling female Peanut made me feel very safe and in good hands. Our itinerary for each day was put in the chat every evening the night before ,which helped me keep organised, I found this very helpful. Peanut is the most smiley ,loving tour guide with great communication skills and always manages to put a smile on our faces and make us giggle everyday! As someone who was the youngest in the group by quite a lot I didn’t feel it at all! Peanut helped us create great friendships and experiences for life. Thank you Peanut for making our trip!

    Scotty was absolutely amazing at his job. It’s going to be so sad saying goodbye to him as he has become a friend to everyone in this group. He was very informative about everything and anything we needed to be informed about. He made travelling around Thailand super easy which put my mind at ease. His smile every day would make us all smile and he always made us laugh too. Scotty is a friend for life now and I’m so glad to have met him never mind him be our tour guide.

    If somebody wanted to fly in from the U.S and then after the trip fly to another country outside the U.S would that be possible or does it have to be round trip there and back flights?

    Flights / Transfers
    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten March 2025

      Our tours do not include flights - this is something you will need to organise yourself. As you organise this yourself you can fly from and to anywhere you like ! I would recommend using skyscanner to help you look for flights.
