Memorable parts?
A 2-day trip down the Mekong River and Luang Prabeng! I really enjoyed Laos. Hanoi and Saigon are incredibly bustling cities but have their charms.
Tips?
Group dynamics change as some people leave after 2 weeks and others join. Sometimes it is difficult to make the adjustment but after a few days the new travelers become part of the original group.
Local benefits?
I definitely think it benefited local people.
Overall rating?
Excellent! (more)Patricia Ruble

Great trip seeing three countries and an excellent guide throughout. The Angkor complex was great fun. (more)Sharon Achtsam
I loved going out onto the lake, Tonle Sap, and seeing the fishing communities in their floating villages, and also the cooking course I did in Siem Reap, which included shopping for our ingredients with the chef in the local market. (more)Sally Godden

Memorable and something that we'll definitely recommend. Our guide helped us to be in direct contact with the local people wherever we went. Also, we appreciated very much the local food on the street merchants, which made the experience more enjoyable.

Thailand is such a big country and we feel that this vacation allowed us to experience quite a lot of it. We travelled with our two children (11,14) who absolutely loved the vacation and were so well looked by the Thai people. (more)Kirstie Fraser
Amazing vacation. Such a great experience filled with memories that are sure to last a lifetime! (more)Sumi Mazzarolo
We had the most amazing vacation and all of us thoroughly enjoyed the "local" experiences we had, from giving alms to the monks to riding through rice fields on bikes. We really enjoyed meeting real Thai people and seeing different sides to Thailand. (more)Rayner McKenzie

Memorable parts?
Visiting Hellfire pass and the war graves cemetery near the river Kwai, very moving. Cycling round the ruins of ancient Sukhothai and chilling out in Chiang Mai.
Tips?
We caught the night sleeper train down from Chiang Mai to Ayutthaya, go 1st class if possible also the train passes through Ayutthaya station at 4:30am so we stayed on till Bangkok 1 hour 30 minutes down the line and got a train back north at a more respectable timeto check into the hotel.

Too many exciting experiences to recount. However we loved the alternative accommodation in the lodges - made a refreshing change from the usual soulless 5 star hotels. (more)Helen Quayle
The most memorable parts were ...elephant ride in Jungle, boat trip snorkelling in Khoa Sok and getting absolutely soaked in a sudden monsoon downpour in the rain forest!
(more)Michael Potter
The day spent boating on the Lake in Khao Sok National Park was wonderful; we had sunshine for most of the day and it was simply spectacular. Swimming and snorkelling off Koh Lanta was wonderful. Walking the Death Railway was very moving, a good trek and we learned a lot. (more)Marian and Richard Beaver
From

Memorable parts?
My wife and I agreed that our vacation in Cambodia was without doubt the best we have ever had. Every day was different, ranging from the magic of the temples of Angkor, the wildlife, ranging from dolphins to elephants, the sadness of the Killing Fields, the majesty of the Royal Palace to the beauty of Lonely Beach. To pick any one thing was impossible, but if forced to it was the absolute
brilliance of the staff of the company at every level, in the UK organising and supporting... (more)Nigel Davies
From

Memorable parts?
It was all fabulous but real highlights were our guide Nui, the cooking class in Chiang Mai and the wonderful temples everywhere
Tips?
Skip Lopburi, not worth it and thus avoid the long drive to Shukothai. Spend more time in Chiang Mai, it is worth it and go all inclusive for the beach part!
Local benefits?
Yes I did. We planned it so that we always stayed in locally run hotels (apart from BKK)
Overall rating?

I think it was being away together with our family somewhere exotic and adventurous and making memories but I was most taken by going to the elephant sanctuary and living in a solar powered beautiful lodge right in an elephant enclosure. I still can't believe that we got to do that! (more)Lisa Apfelberg

The temples (including Angkor Wat) around Siam Reap were wonderful. But our two day trip on the Mekong to Luang Prabang and, Luang Prabang itself were very memorable.

Local benefits?
Yes.

Memorable parts?
Staying at Bottle beach on Koh Phanghan island.
Tips?
Be self contained so when the youngies go off drinking you still have a great time.
Local benefits?
It seems in Thailand tourists are big consumers and there doesn't seem to be any recycling. Also lots of people drinking using paper cups, straws and plastic bags handed out with every purchase in the numerous 7/11 shops all over Thailand and not much awareness about it all. Made me sad I did have conversations... (more)Michaela O
