Thailand Tours

Yes, we recommend including a free day in your itinerary upon arrival to allow time to rest and recover from any potential jet lag. This will help ensure you begin your journey feeling refreshed and better able to enjoy the experiences ahead.

If visiting an elephant sanctuary is a priority for your trip, we highly recommend doing so in Chiang Mai, where some of the most ethical and well-regarded sanctuaries are located. To ensure sufficient time for this meaningful experience, we suggest adding an extra day to your itinerary. We will arrange a private transfer for you to the sanctuary, where you can join the group activities and spend time with the elephants in a responsible and engaging environment.

For your information, we do not arrange land transfer from Bangkok to Siem Reap due to the long transit time & safety. Therefore, catching flight is the fastest and most convenient way to transfer between Siem Reap and Bangkok.

I don’t recommend to take a day trip to Sukhothai as it takes around 4-5 hours per way from Chiang Mai to Sukhothai. We should extend 2 days 1 night for this trip.

For drop off airport, we only use driver to save the cost, it is quite easy to check in at the counter by your own. Only domestic flights we can check in online and with international flights, it is related to visa so we are not allowed to do that. We have to check at the counter.

US citizen don’t need visa to Thailand, and you will need apply e-visa to Vietnam, we will send you the official link in your email, you can make it with the fee around 25 usd per person.

For Thailand, if you don’t want a party town, then Bangkok is not a good choice. If you want an island hopping tour, Phuket or Koh Lanta as I suggested is better. You can let your kids visit the Elephant Sanctuary, go snorkeling, visit Tiger Kingdom, do island hopping tour in Phuket. Since it is your private tour, I will arrange all private service, we can make early reservation to avoid everything is fully booked.

You can look at Phuket, or Koh Lanta for your Chirstmas if you want some beach relaxation. If you want to relax at a quieter place, enjoy the green and peace, I think Chiang Mai is also a good option (but not so many activities there) 1. Avista Hideaway Phuket: https://www.avistahideawayphuketresort.com/ 2. Katathani Phuket : https://www.katathani.com/ Normally Phuket Resort has nice restaurant, but the meal is quite expensive, therefore, I would suggest you to go out to have dinner. There are a lot of restaurants outside offer reasonable price and good food. You can consider about it and kindly let me know your decision of which place do you want to visit, so I can help you build an itinerary.

This is optional tour we can add to Chiang Mai with surcharge. The Balloon weight limit is 120 kg. If the weight exceeds 120 kg, an additional charge will be applied

Many of our previous clients have preferred EVA Air for their flights, as it is known for its excellent service and overall passenger experience. This preference often stems from the airline's reputation for comfort, reliability, and customer satisfaction. If frequent flyer benefits, better service standards, or fleet age are important to you, EVA Air could be the better choice for long-haul flights.
