    Dear Sebastian, Thank you for taking the time to share your review of Discovering Thailand: An Exotic Adventure from Bangkok to Koh Samui 11-Day. We truly appreciate your feedback and are delighted to hear that you found the tour interesting and well-organized, and that you enjoyed the experiences with our knowledgeable guides—especially Dare in Chiang Mai. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to him! Regarding the stop at the gem factory, we would like to clarify that stopping at shops, rest areas, or gem factories during the journey is a normal practice in Thailand. These stops are not only opportunities for travelers to explore local crafts but also serve as convenient restroom breaks, as many customers appreciate having a chance to stop mid-journey. Please note that purchasing products at these locations is entirely optional, and no one is forced to buy anything. We truly appreciate your understanding of these common travel practices. We are so glad you enjoyed the elephant experience and Pig Island, and we appreciate your feedback about flight information—we will continue working to improve our communication to ensure the best experience for our travelers. Once again, thank you for choosing Legend Travel Group! We hope to welcome you on another adventure in the future. Best regards, Tony Bui/ Legend Travel Group

    Dear Audrey, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback on your recent trip with Legend Travel. We appreciate your input, and I'd like to address some of your concerns. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the late disclosure of hotel information and internal flight times.

We're pleased to hear that you had positive experiences with some of our tour guides, particularly Dare and Air in Chiang Mai. They truly aim to make our guests' experiences memorable. We're also grateful for your feedback on the Madsum island cruise and other activities. We'll review these aspects to ensure we provide more exciting options and maximize your time at each destination. Your comments are valuable to us as we continuously strive to enhance our services. We hope you had some wonderful moments during your journey and that you'll consider traveling with us again in the future. Best regards, Tony Bui/ Legend Travel Group
