Thailand, Cambodia Luxury Trip Review: Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, History, Temples, Culture, 18-Night Tour

The main thing I would change would be the hill-tribe hike, as we requested a maximum two-hour walk with minimal elevation changes. The actual walk was over four hours (we reached the hot springs by car as we had already walked for three-and-a-half hours, crossing up and down over four hilltops) and the waterfall was not nearly as spectacular as in the photo.

The snorkeling trip was disappointing as the coral reefs were mostly dead. The guide made our lunch, which was awful (white rice with maybe one tablespoon of veg cut up). There were trips for roughly the same cost to another island that has the best snorkeling in Thailand.

All the guides should have been aware of our dietary requirements (vegan). The cooking experience included oyster sauce in the ingredients.

The drive from Chiang Rai to Chang Mai was long and should have included a lunch stop (the itinerary did not include lunch, which was fine, but we should have been given the opportunity to eat something).

The flight layovers were way too long at over four hours.
