Thailand with Peter
In August, I was lucky enough to escort a small group to Thailand. We flew via Hong Kong with Cathay Pacific and had three days exploring this exciting City. Some highlights included shopping on Nathan Road and a day trip to Macau.
We then flew to Bangkok and several of my clients got suits made from the local tailors, ordered new glasses and we enjoyed a day trip to the River Kwai and Tiger Temple. We headed north up to Chiang Rai and stayed on the border of Thailand, Myanmar (Burma) and Laos. We had an absolutely beautiful hotel on the banks of the river, very quiet and relaxing.
Elephant Trekking was a “Must Do”, but after two and a half hours of mountain climbing on an Elephant, I have to say that I could not wait to get off!
We then overlanded through the beautiful Thai countryside to Chiang Mai and indulged in the local markets. After a few days of relaxation, we flew direct to Phuket. We had a blast, staying at Karin Beach, which is a lot quieter than Legian, but still only fifteen Minutes away by Tuk Tuk, if you wanted to hit the action.
We had eight days of relaxation - the beach was beautiful, the surf was up, massages every day, great food, great prices and day trips by speedboat out to the islands, including Phi Phi Island.
The highlight for me of the trip for me was meeting the Thai people. I found them the friendliest and most welcoming of people. I will definitely go back and explore more of this beautiful country.
Cheers Peter
