Excellent itinerary and guides, guides were also flexible and gave their own recommendations (such as stopping at the train market on the way to the floating market) and also allowed us to dramatically change the last day in Chaing Mai as we didnt want to spend 7 hours driving, but filled our day with other activities. Highlights of the trip were the Elephant camp (which was very humane) and the PhiPhi island tour. Highly recommended but personally i would ask for a different itinerary for the day in Chaing Mai instead of the massive drive to the Myanmar/Laos border, as Chaing Mai itself is beautiful and full of things to do (I would have happily had a whole Thailand trip in Chaing Mai!)

The tours that were included were very good, but spending 3 1/2 to 4 hours in a van each way to see the Black House & White Castle is not good planning. All the tour and airport transfers were very timely and well communicated by the tour operator. The floating market/train market tour and the elephant sanctuary tour were excellent! The Black house/White Castle tour was very good but 7 to 8 hours in a van to see them is very poor planning. I highly recommend the James Bond island tour in Phuket. The extra charge for the Bangkok to Chang Mai and Chang Mai to Phuket airfares are a rip off as they should have been 50 per cent or less than charged $500. Our Phuket to Bangkok airfares were less than $100 that we booked ourselves. Our tour operator was great in communications with me through WhatsApp and would like to work with him again in future tours.

The GIVE Elephant Experience was truly the greatest experience I have ever had! This trip was a long time coming for me and from the moment I booked it, GIVE was extremely helpful, thorough and always reassuring. When I arrived in Thailand I was greeted with amazing energy from P'Dee and felt welcome immediately. P'Ann and P'phon also always met you with a smile and open arms and I couldn't speak more highly of them! Cassidy, our 4th guide, was the kindest person you'll ever meet. She was so helpful throughout the trip and an amazing person to talk to. The guides were all so comforting and they made us laugh and smile each and everyday. My absolute favorite part of the trip was how hands on we got to be at the Elephant Freedom Village, it was life changing to experience feeding and bathing adult and baby elephants. Another favorite part of mine was the down time we had and the car rides where we got to interact and learn so much about al the other people in our group. I met so many different people and made some real friends for life. I loved that every person we met in Thailand had so much passion for their country, the elephants and life in general. The trip was so organized from start to finish and we were given a very thorough itinerary each day to follow so you knew exactly what to wear, what we were doing and exact times. I could go on and on with how amazing this trip was for me, I wish I could stay in Thailand forever! So thank you so much GIVE for giving me this opportunity, I hope to join another group in the future!
