Thailand Luxury Tour Review: Phuket, Chiang Mai, Phang Nga Bay, Phi Phi Island, Cooking Class

All of the guide contacts, guides, drivers, and tour operators were great.

The itinerary was also perfect for us. We had the flexibility to add two different tours to fill our free days once we were on location.

We appreciated the communication set up through WhatsApp and all our inquiries were responded to immediately.

All of the arrangements went off without a hitch, with the exception of our guide picking us up to go to the airport in Bangkok. We really don’t know what happened and we were perfectly fine going there with the driver we knew and checking ourselves in. The issue was we were going to tip the guide and had to go through a few back-and-forth conversations to figure out how to make that happen. Finally, we gave the tip to our guide in Phuket to give to our guide in Bangkok.

We loved the accommodations, with the exception of the hotel in Chiang Mai. It was located in the Old Town, which was great, but the room was just too small. Also, the pool area was cramped, without enough area for additional lounge chairs. I stayed in the room while my daughter enjoyed the pool for a couple of hours. Then to top it off, there was a barking dog behind our room. Not the hotel’s fault, but a reason I would not recommend that hotel to any of my friends.
