- Kevin· November 10th, 2018Great tour but the Bangkok to Chiang Mai journey could have been planned much better. You are told to take an early flight so we had to leave the hotel at 5am. They they collect you and transfer you to the hotel by around 10.30am. You can't check in until 3pm and the tour doesn't begin again until 1.30pm so you just have to wait in the lobby for 3 hours. We were going to book a flight that arrives at 11.15am but was told that it was too late; why? Luckily our tour guide and driver brought the afternoon tour forward to 12.40pm. It would have been better to charge slightly more and include the flight and have everyone arrive at around 12 Noon. Drop off the bags at the hotel and then go on the afternoon tour. Alternatively, allow the people to arrive on the 11.15 flight. That is still two hours prior to the afternoon activities.Show moreDestination Services Thailand commented on this reviewDear Kevin, Thank you for your review.
