"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"
