Western Thailand done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Every night's lodge was a step up from what I'd braced for. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Would send friends their way.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. No hesitation recommending them.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. The teahouses were warm and the beds were fine after eight hours walking. Crew were professional without being stiff about it. Would send friends their way.
