Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

My husband and I took a delayed honeymoon and had the most fantastic time. Zicasso's travel partner was very responsive and followed up with me from my first inquiry via email and with a phone call to tailor the trip around our needs. It was my first time planning a trip of this capacity with a travel agent (two weeks out of the country) and it was such a good experience that I'll highly recommend Zicasso to everyone looking to travel to Thailand.

We planned the trip only two months in advance and they made it stress-free and did such a fantastic job! From hotel selections to private pick-ups/transfers, tours, and sending us a daily itinerary/directions, it was so nice to have someone else do all the planning. All we had to do was show up. It took a huge mental load off. There were also "free, at-your-leisure" days, so we could go wherever we liked, and the travel team offered many suggestions beforehand and while we were there.

There was definitely a small part of me that feared being scammed (modern internet era, right?), but knowing that travel companies are vetted through Zicasso helped. Our tour operator also had a ton of positive reviews outside of Zicasso, so I knew I couldn't be steered wrong.

I can't thank the travel team enough for the fantastic trip and memories we made in Thailand. We couldn't have asked for a better honeymoon.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

Our time in Chiang Mai was magical. Our day at the elephant sanctuary feeding, walking, and bathing the elephants will forever be something we keep in our hearts. In addition, the bamboo raft down the river, the Sunday night market, the temples around the city, the cooking class, walkability from our hotel to everything, Doi Inthanon National Park, and visiting the local villages. We really, really loved our time in Chiang Mai.

Outside of the few joined excursions/tours, having private tour guides in Bangkok and Chiang Mai was a wow! That was a top-notch experience. No big tour groups to wait around for. Having one-on-one attention and being able to converse directly with our guide was so great and so educational. It was just my husband and I and our private tour guide showing us around, going into the history and background of each landmark.

Our hotel room in Phuket was also very memorable/enjoyable. We treated ourselves and upgraded to the nicest room possible in Phuket (one-bedroom villa), and it was well worth it.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

We would probably skip the floating market in Bangkok and visit the Ayutthaya ruins instead. The floating market was not what we thought it was going to be and a little underwhelming (the pictures did not accurately portray the experience; it's not really a floating market). We wish we could've had an extra day in Bangkok to see Ayutthaya.

On the bright side, taking in food and culture was something I said was important to us during my phone call with our travel team, so it was nice to have our private tour guide show us local eats and foods/dishes/drinks to try.
