| Overview : AROUND THAILAND TOUR |
 |
7-Day Around Thailand Tour is one of the most popular activities in Thailand as it is the best way to get to know Thailand in its look and spirit. We will take you around monuments, rivers, temples, local attractions and natural wonders. You will experience the beautiful landscape by land and water routes. Sukhothai, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, within just 7 days. Handicraft making, cultural shows, Thai food, boat rides over the Mekong etc. are other interesting activities as we can see the major landmarks and local lifestyle. This is an unforgettable tour to get closer to Thailand in its spirit, culture and beauty.
Here is what some of the recent travelers have to say on this tour:
Everything about the tour was just perfect. The booking process and travel
arrangements went smoothly and without problems.
I would also like to say a special 'thank you' to our tour guide Pui, for his
good humour throughout, his explanations of Thai culture, and his flexibility in
ensuring that we tourists got the very best out of the tour. Of course, our
driver should also be complimented for always ensuring timely, safe and
incident-free travel.
I hope that you can pass on my thanks to them.
I have strongly recommended your company to my friends and contacts.
I will, of course, be using your company again for future trips in South East
Asia.
With many thanks.
