Songkran Festival Thailand Is Famous for the Splash — But Your Trip Can Be More Than Water Fights If you already have Songkran in Thailand on your travel list, you probably know the image: water guns, soaked streets, loud music, and a whole country turning into one giant celebration.

After a widely shared campaign image placed Lisa on a small boat set against Red Lotus Sea (Talay Bua Daeng) in Udon Thani. This article follows that same path: Red Lotus … Read more
I feel conflicted writing this review because the staff and performers seemed lovely however the behaviours of other audience members was disgusting and ruined our evening. A large party of 30+ people arrived late and proceeded to completely ignore the performance, talk and laugh loudly to the extent that we couldn’t hear the music or narrative and couldn’t appreciate the performance because of the constant noise. It was highly disrespectful to both the performers and other audience members. Unfortunately we were seated closest to them and it was impossible to ignore. I realise this might be an isolated experience however the staff did nothing to curtail this and the tour party organiser had left for the whole of the performance. It should have been a lovely evening appreciating and respecting Thai culture but they might as well just have gone to a restaurant if that was the evening they wanted rather than spoiling ours.

What a wonderful day, we learned so much about Thai cuisine including a very informative shopping trip at a local market. Our chef was very patient and really entertaining and we spent time with his mother at the end who is a decorated chef and very interesting to talk to. High points were the market visit and the cooking itself followed by eating what we had made (which was delicious). A huge plus point for us was that you are able to select your own menu to cook rather than following a prescribed format. We will definitely recommend this and will come back again for sure.

This was a really fun tour. Its a lot of driving but each srop provides ample time to get out and walk. The hike through the rainforest was especially enjoyable. Our guide was great and took really good care of us the whole day. I highly recommend this activity. You won't regret it.

Skyline jungle has a great set up that finishes at the base camp. The guides were very engaging and fun, as well as picture taking pros. The final zipline is nearly 1km long over a deep gorge and really gives the feel of flying. Only issue is the time needed from pick up to drop off is much m longer than advertised.

The whole excursion was a long way and a long time on a bus. I enjoyed the Hilltop Village and also the White Temple - but the Blue and the Red Temples, were more like Disney - new temples etc - built for tourism. The tour guide and driver were fine - but wasn't my favourite excursion for sure

It was our first time mountain biking so it was definitely challenging but so worth it! The sights and sounds of the jungle were amazing. We passed lychee, coffee and banana trees. Our guide, A, was incredibly kind, patient, supportive (we struggled a bit!) and funny too. His presence made the experience that much better. He also took my phone and got a lot of great pictures and videos of us. The ride itself was sometimes hard for us because we're totally inexperienced with this sort of thing. We each fell 2 or 3 times, but we weren't going fast, and had a bunch of protective gear on, so we were fine. Some uphill parts, but if it got too hard we could just get off and walk the bike. The trickiest parts were when it got rocky, or when there were the 2 narrow parallel concrete paths for cars to drive on. But once you learn to trust the bike it actually feels a bit easier. The end is at a beautiful spot in an open hut on the lake with a delicious lunch. You can swim, dip your feet, or just relax and enjoy the scenery. I'm glad I didn't really know what it would be like because I might have chickened out and missed out on an incredible experience.

Too many shopping stops , for attractions stop only few minutes and I updated the pickup address but the operator did NOT NOTICE the driver, we waited half an hour and communicated a lot, the operator had suggested me to change the date, finally they send another car for us…
