What people love about Thailand Tours from Chiang Mai
- Northern Thailand Discovery 7 Days
Many thanks to Vincenzo and Bravo Indochina Tours for planning our trip of a lifetime to Thailand. Great communication and organization with excellent guides and travel program
A really great trip from Chasing Mai to Bangkok. Our guide was very knowledgeable and attentive. The transport was comfortable. Hotels were good. We paid for upgrade to superior hotel - the hotels were excellent but I feel the cost of the upgrade was very expensive! I also wouldn't recommend taking the full board option. It was extremely expensive as it actually only included 3 extra dinners which would have been significantly cheaper if we had paid for them at the hotel ourselves. Also as it gave us the set menu. It was the same dishes every evening. We do feel that we were ripped off by taking these 2 options!
Treasures of Thailand 8 Days - Chiang Mai to South, Private Tour
- Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, Small Group Tour
The tour as well as the guide were very good and very well organized. I would just suggest to review the Chian Rai part by replacing the Blue Temple with an historical one. Thank you
