Travel Review: Luxury Thailand Honeymoon, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Phi Phi Island, Floating Markets, Cooking Class, Ziplining

One thing I would do differently is have the travel agents tell the tour guides in Thailand what the couple is like before they get there. For example, the tour guide in Chang Mai was VERY attentive, and very engaged… but almost a little too overbearing. When we went to see the elephants, he insisted that he come with us into the park. We continued to tell him that we could go alone and wanted some space. However he came with us and followed us around. Also, when we went to dinner, he came into the restaurant with us and stayed at a table by the front. It was almost as if we had a parent chaperone on our honeymoon.  We also cancelled the guide taking us to the festival one night since it didn't make sense that he was going to pick us up from our hotel just to drop us off downtown. We didn't want to be ready at the time he told us because we were having fun by the pool.  We called him and told him that we would find our own ride down town. We reiterated to him multiple times to not pick us up and to enjoy the night with his family (we thought we were doing him a favor by not having him pick us up).  He finally understood and told us to enjoy the night and that he would see us tomorrow to pick us up for the airport.  At 5:30 that same night, the hotel called up to our room to tell us that the guide was there to take us to the festival. My husband and I weren't ready and we told him not to come but he showed up anyways to take us. We told him we weren't ready and he waited for 45 mins for us to get ready. We felt horrible for it and a little uncomfortable since we asked him not to come. It's not really anything that could have been changed with the trip itself since he was just doing his job and making sure we were taken care of. However, it may be nice if the travel agents asked the travelers if they like more space on their trip or if they want to be "guided" and assisted more.  I could see someone who is older really liking the attentiveness. However, we were younger newlyweds who wanted a bit more space.
