Review: Thailand Diving Trip, Bangkok, Chiang Mai & Chiang Rai, Phuket, Kanchanaburi, WWII History

Being avid scuba divers my husband and I decided to try diving in Thailand.  We knew very little about Thailand but after researching it we decided that it would be a perfect spot for us to visit in December.  When we plan a dive trip we book a live aboard dive boat for a week and then we spend 1-2 weeks exploring the country.  Since we only started planning this trip in October we decided that we could use some assistance in deciding where to go and what to do on our land portion of the trip.  So we contacted Zicasso Travel for advice.  Zicasso put us in contact with this travel agent and he helped us design the perfect itinerary.  Our agent really listened to what we were interested in and designed a trip tailored to our preferences.  Our agent kept in contact (by phone and email), tweaking the itinerary until it was exactly what we wanted.  He took our age, physical condition, likes and dislikes into consideration when designing our trip.  Even after the itinerary was finalized, the plane tickets were purchased, the hotels were reserved and the excursions were arranged he kept in contact with us.  Our agent even told me to buy a SIM card in Thailand so we could remain in contact throughout our trip.  We loved Thailand and having our agent's expert opinion guiding us we feel we saw most everything on our checklist.   He arranged for us to have private transportation and tour guides throughout our trip which was fantastic. The tour guides that he selected for us were extremely personable and knowledgable.  The guides were always on time, they made sure that they adapted the itinerary to suite us and they always made sure we were having a great time.
