    Dear Ms. Victoria - I would like to thank you for your feedback! Legend Travel Group`s very appreciated about your kind comments! Your feedback is very important for us to improve our services. Regarding the Elephant sanctuary, I think this tour is only available in Thailand and other parts of Laos. There is no any information of this activity indicated in the Itinerary. Please check the itinerary of the tour when you have time. We don`t advertise or promise to you or our customers, because we realize that there is no elephant sanctuary tour in Laos. We are so sorry about the inconvenience caused to you regarding the roads condition. It`s out of our control so we cannot change it. Your feedback is very good for us to inform our clients about the roads condition in Laos. Regards, Tony Bui - on behalf of Legend Travel Group`s Team

    Rosemary

    Asked on August 18th, 2025

    We are wondering what happens at the end of this tour which drops you off at the border or does the tour take us all the way to Chang Rai? I'm not clear on where the tour ends. Could you please clarify?

      Rosemary

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      We are 3 senior women travelers. We are happy to stay in the same hotel room but is it possible to guarantee us each our own bed for sleeping? There would not be single supplement if we are all staying together. We are not interested in sharing beds.

    • Legend Travel GroupOperatorWritten August 2025

      Based on standard hotel practices, it's not always possible to guarantee three separate beds in a triple room. Many hotels, especially those in the 3-star range, typically offer twin rooms (with two separate beds) or double rooms (with one shared bed). In situations where a triple room isn't available, the tour operator usually has to book a twin/double room and a single room, which would result in an additional single supplement fee. To ensure you and your friends have a comfortable trip with three separate beds, we would cover any single supplement fees that might apply to accommodate your request.

    • Legend Travel GroupOperatorWritten August 2025

      The trip will conclude at the border. However, if you would like to continue on to Chiang Rai Downtown, we can arrange a private car transfer for you at an additional cost of USD 150.00 per car. This gives you flexibility and a comfortable way to reach your preferred destination.

      TravelerWritten December 2023

      I would like to speak to someone because I have a few queries.

    • Legend Travel GroupOperatorWritten December 2023

      1. Room Sharing: Unfortunately, for this specific Tour Package, we only offer and have availability for Private Tours. Joining a Group Tour or sharing a room with a traveler of the same gender is not available for this particular package. 2. Transportation on Day 9: On Day 9, from the Border (Houay Xai - Chiang Khong), we utilize a river boat as transportation. The trip concludes at the Border, and customers are expected to arrange their means of transportation on the Thailand side independently.
