Review: Solo Trip to Thailand, Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Chiang Rai, Grand Palace, Wat Arun, Elephant Sanctuary

This travel agent was always very prompt about replying to emails even on the weekend and patiently dealing with any questions or concerns I had. I'd never used Zicasso or this travel agency before, so I was a bit skeptical, but it was an amazing trip. I was only in Thailand for a week - 5 days if you exclude travel outside and within Thailand, and yet I accomplished more than I would have in 2 weeks on my own. I left everything up to my agent and arranged for private guides and transfers. Having a guide to trust to take care of your belongings and be your personal photographer every day was well worth it and it saved a lot of time because they knew all the best spots and vantage points. Everything was seamless from the airport transfers to the guides arriving early in my hotel lobby each morning and my agent took time to meet me in Bangkok on the first day during a scheduled break. I also got everything on my itinerary done and then some thanks to the guides' willingness to go out of their way to show me a few extra unexpected surprises. I couldn't ask for much else. Before I even left, I started thinking about plans for going back next year.
