"Like most tours in Thailand, I started in Bangkok. It is an amazing city with a lot to offer but can a bit overwhelming. I quickly adapted to the time difference, heat and traffic and was able to get around the city via the canal boats, taxis, tuk-tuks and metro system to see a lot of the treasures that Thailand has to offer.

The highlight of the tour was the Elephant Nature Park, where we fed and bathed the elephants. Standing waist high in a river scrubbing an elephant is one of those things that you don’t forget.

Even though the Elephant Park was my favorite part, there was a lot of great things on this tour. The trek through the hill tribes was an experience, bamboo rafting was amazing and the raft houses in Khao Sok National Park were truly amazing. This tour has a lot of exciting things to offer."
