They showed us part of Thailand people only wish off because it’s off the beaten path , hidden gems and so much more! I say if you had a chance to do a tour with them, don’t have a second thought about it! Do it!! You will not regret it at all!! 🇹🇭❤️🍱😋🏝️

I went on Candy and Jonty's group trip to Southern Thailand and it was an absolute blast. Seeing them communicate with locals was incredible (+ very helpful) and they knew all the best places to visit.
- Cassie Putt, from the USA
All the resorts were great! It was a really fun way of travelling. Good way to meet new people. And all expectations were indeed fulfilled. I think the trip overall was really structured and a good combination of different activities.
- Ulrikke Drescher, from Denmark
Absolutely. Great balance of activities. Got to see and experience a lot. Great group of people. Liked being led by “locals” versus a tour group. It was excellent. So happy I got to participate and meet everyone. Can’t wait to see what you plan next.
