"Everything went so smoothly, which given there were a number of elements in our month long multi-stop trip this was an impressive feat. The flight timings were excellent and the airport to hotel transfers were much appreciated. All the hotel/apartment accommodation was super, particularly in terms of location and standard of service. The organised tours and the river dinner cruise in Bangkok were impressive and communication from the companies that arranged these was very good too. Really was a fantastic trip. Once again thank you"

T&FT Rewind No. 27
Ann Packer had just narrowly failed to win the Tokyo 1964 Olympic 400m and then ran the 800m final like the novice she was. Barely visible for 600m and then boxed in she found a way to show the sprinter she was to win and set a WR.
