Fantastic! This was my second trip with Globe Drifters, having gone to Cuba in November 2019. For the second time, we had a replacement guide, and just like Abel in Cuba, Nok was phenomenal! The tour was great, as we got to see several differing areas of Thailand. I felt like there was a good balance between organized events and free time, which I very much appreciated. The only thing I might have wanted was an extra day in Bangkok, but I had already extended my stay and got that on my own! The hotels that were chosen, for the most part, were also wonderful, especially in Chiangmai, Krabi (Railay Beach), and the two in Bangkok. The other were fine, but the beds (especially in the floating rooms) left much to be desired. The highlight of the trip, the two festivals in Chiangmai, were worth coming on the trip, but there were so many other encounters that filled it out wonderfully. Many of them were very moving experiences, whether or not someone is religious or spiritual. I have to talk specifically about Nok, because she was an absolute rock star! She remembered everything about everybody, and made accommodations accordingly. She never lost her composure when things didn't go exactly to plan.....or when some of us on the trip didn't!!! Nok also went out of her way on several occasions to make our time here even more memorable. I think it would be a crime not to keep using her as a guide!

This was my first adventure with Globe Drifters and I am extremely pleased with everything, from the original booking all the way thru to the end of the trip. Our tour guide, Nok was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we were always informed and taken care of. She even helped plan some of the free time excursions. I cannot say enough great things about her. I loved all of the locations and they each added a different element to the trip, however, Chiang Mai was my nirvana and left me in awe. That was the most memorable experience I’ve had out of any vacation and I’m so thankful to have been a part of it. The entire trip was curated very well and gave me time to explore and take in each location. The hotels and locations we stayed in were above my expectations. This was my first major solo trip and I felt extremely comfortable with the other travelers and being a part of a wonderful group I can call family. I can’t wait for my next Globe Drifters adventure. If it is anything like what I experienced in Thailand, I already know that I am going to have an amazing time.

This was my first trip with Globe Trotters. I will definitely be going on another. The accomdations were good and the food was great. I really enjoyed the trip leader Nok. She worked very hard to accomodate everyone.

We had a lovely time. Everyone was so nice and so friendly and kind. Sandy went out of her way to help us with all the extra things we wanted to do. I think the guides work very hard to make sure everyone is taken care of and have plenty of choices. I know we signed up for a "slow-cation" but we are a GO cation person/couple so in the future we would book a more physically active trip. With that said we had a blast and have no complaints. Hotel Jardim was modest but clean and lovely. The staff worked very hard to make it a home away from home. Thank you to everyone!
