I’m just back from my second trip with Feel Free, this time it was the 15 day “Best of Thailand” tour. After my incredible trip to Vietnam this time last year, my expectations were high, and once again they were exceeded on every level. Thailand is a beautiful and diverse country, and the varied nature of the locations and itinerary really allows you to get the best out of the trip.

Our group leader for the trip was Jake, and I cannot praise him highly enough. From the very first day it was like being with a group of mates, and a large part of that was down to Jake and his seamless organisation and endless good humour. He made organising us look easy, which goes to show how much hard work was going on behind the scenes to ensure that every single person was enjoying themselves. Nothing was too much trouble and he was full of helpful advice and recommendations throughout the trip. A shout out also to the various local guides we had throughout the tour who were a delight to be around and so clearly loved showing us around.

I said in my review of the Vietnam tour last year how impressed I was at the value for money throughout the tour, from the excellent accommodation, included activities and even a large number of meals. This was definitely the case in Thailand too; particular highlights this time were the visit to the elephant sanctuary in Chaing Mai, relaxing on the beautiful beaches in Krabi and Koh Phi-Phi, and getting the opportunity to go scuba diving (not included in the tour but definitely worth splashing out on!)

So thank you Jake and Feel Free, I honestly wouldn’t want to be exploring SE Asia any other way!!
