I travelled in a Group of 14 people (including 5 under 10 kids) in Thailand in Genuary. The time we spent in the Chang Mai was an absolute highlight and big parto of it was due to the excellent Guide Narong and the Green Trail Organizations: the excursions were various, very well organized and all defenetly worth. Elephants, kayaking, Palong Villave were my personal top picks. But again, the wise and knolegable wave of Narong was inspiring and made the difference! I defenetly recomend the Organization and Narong in particular. Hope to go back to those beautiful land!

She shows you how to do the excercises and at the end of the lesson we have 5 minutes meditation. Very relaxing and I can recommand this to every body. Cissi.

We used I Asia Thailand (we used them last year) and we rented a van with guide Woody and driver. We requested Woody after good comments and feedback. We did a 8 hour day trip and they were punctual, dressed well, excellent English and very informative. We started from Patong and made our way north before stopping for lunch and then east road back to the south to the many view points. The van was clean with great aircon and wifi!!!. We also had our own hand sanitiser and also wipes throughout the day. I would suggest and recommend I Asia Thailand to any family and friends. We would happily use their services again!

Gosh where to begin... at the beginning I guess. From the moment I stepped out of the taxi at Amori oasis of ❤ I felt relaxed and welcome. The driver meet me at the airport, being my first time in Thailand and after a long hale flight it was just what I needed, no worries or stress ????. The retreat itself is located a short distance (in my opinion) from the airport and the city centre, in a rural thai area surrounded by rice fields and temples in the distance. The meditation and yoga were out of this world. I've done guided meditation for the last two years so this helped me settle right into the mindful walking and meditation, even if I hadn't Amori takes the time to work with you. I've dipped in and out of yoga over the years, and again Amori took this on board and worked with me within my boundaries. I was lucky enough to have one on one for a few days, then joined by a variety of other guest. I enjoyed the Saturday chair yoga and meeting the local people who attended. The food Amori mother cooked was extremely delicious and tasty, the green thai curry my favourite ???? you can taste the love. The accommodation was above anything I expected and I really did feel Amori bending over backwards (and literally) to help me , even with a trip to the local chemist to get my tummy sorted after the culture and time shifts. I cannot rate this experience high enough and I hope to return one day soon, namaste ????

We had an amazing day with the Sunset Splash and BBQ tour at the Mae Kuang Dam. The trailhead team was well prepared and organized a memorable day for us. We started wiith a brief introduction to the basic of kayaking, before we started our kayak trip. This tour is suitable for everyone, even when you have never tried kayaking before. We even watched some wild buffaloes chilling in the dam while kayaking and finished our kayak tour with an amazing sunset view. Back on land, food and drinks were nicely prepared with some fresh coconuts, bbq sticks, salad, som tum and more. It was an awesome experience that I would highly recommend going when visiting Chiang Mai.

This is an exquisite hotel just outside Chiang Mai. It is set in a stunningly beautiful botanic garden which boasts an abundance of paths which wind past lakes, cactus gardens, orchid gardens and a variety of other horticultural delights. There is a different vista at every turn and it is easy to lose yourself in the spectacular beauty of this place. The hotel consists of six complexes of high quality, mostly single story accommodation with beautifully furnished rooms. Some are in the traditional Lanna style of northern Thailand and others offer more contemporary fittings. Most of the room complexes have their own swimming pool. This gives the impression of being in a small hotel while in fact there are a large number of rooms. There is a restaurant which provides a comprehensive menu of Thai and western food at reasonable prices. An excellent buffet breakfast will satisfy most tastes. There is also a spa that provides quality massage. Although the hotel is out of town a free one way bus is provided to the town centre daily, while a return shuttle to Chiang Mai's night market is scheduled every evening. The staff are all exceptionally friendly and are always ready to help with a smile. My wife and I have visited this hotel many times and have never been disappointed. We were here in late January to mid February 2020, just as the current health crisis was beginning to emerge and we were impressed by the attention to the well-being of the guests and staff that was applied by the hotel management. If you want a well appointed hotel in a peaceful setting with the facilities of a vibrant city a short ride away then this is the place to stay.
