Review: Luxury Thailand Tour, Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Au Nang, Krabi, Tiger Cave Temple, Elephant Nature Park, River Cruise

We had a great experience overall. Our Thailand travel agency almost always responded to questions quickly during the planning process and made several changes to the suggested itinerary at our request. The hotels were very nice--clean and comfortable. In Krabi, our agency used partner organizations for our two days of tours. One of those partners left something to be desired. On the plus side, they showed up and accomplished the goal of taking us where we needed to go. However, the guide for our trip to the national park and Tiger Cave Temple was not a very good guide. She hardly told us anything, struggled with English when we asked questions, and never even told us her name. In contrast, the guides we had that worked directly for our agency in Chiang Mai and Bangkok were both great. They knew a ton about the area, the sights, and history. They were friendly and personable. Our itinerary included time on our own as well as guided tours. We mostly enjoyed the activities planned and feel that we saw the major sights in each area.
