What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
We did a day "volunteering" (paid for but so worth it) at an elephant santuary (www.elephantnaturepark.org). A real treat. We also had a magical moment at a temple outside of Chang Mai (Doi Suthep).
What did you think of your tour leader?
Our tour leader was really fantastic. Rath was fun, mischievous, well informed, not too invasive and extremely helpful. She definately added to the trip. Anyone who gets Rath as a guide will be very lucky.
What advice would you give to other travellers?
Be flexible, open minded and experience as much as you can. Be warned on the treking (in the wet season), it can be difficult enough, I think that 7 is too young for this. Do not support the destruction of the beautiful elephants, be careful on where/how you chose to see these wonderful animals.

Trying to get to sleep at the Morning Mist Resort in the middle of the rainforest in Khao Sok National park - the noise of the insects and the sounds of the forest were unforgettable!

What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
I can genuinely not decide on what part of the trip I enjoyed the most.
What did you think of your tour leader?
Sar, our tour leader, really made the trip that extra bit special for us. Nothing that we wanted to do was a problem, he went out of his way to take us/show us places and knew a lot of information about the places we did go to. He was good fun to be around/have a joke with and we really enjoyed having him along on our adventure. We felt safe the entire time because of him and trusted him completely with our possessions when required. We couldn't imagine having a better leader, he really was excellent.
What advice would you give to other travellers?
Take loo roll, a tourch, lots of mosquito spray and a travel towel.

What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Scenery in Laos; one of the trip members falling off the elephant into the Nam Khan river (several times!); then capsizing us into the Nam Song in Vang Vieng on the very first rapid and losing her sarong.
What did you think of your tour leader?
Thinh Lai, our guide in Vietnam - the very best tour guide! We missed him on crossing to Cambodia. Other guides, with the possible exception of the Lao guide, were also very good, but Thinh was exceptional - informative, helpful, funny, friendly. He organised optional activities taiored to the group's wishes and went far beyond the call of duty.
What advice would you give to other travellers?
1. Read the pre-departure notes, and stick to the advice in it. You really don't need to take anything other than what it recommends. 2.Make use of the tailors in Hoi An - excellent value and quality of work. If you have favourite garments you'd like copied, take them with you or bring photos/patterns. 3. Make sure your insurance covers itinerary changes caused by weather. We had to but extra flights because of flooding and not all of us manged to get our money back.

What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Trekking in the mountains of Chiang Mai, traveling on the overnight train, meeting good friends. Watching the stars whilst sitting in front of a camp fire miles away from anywhere.
What did you think of your tour leader?
Pong is mad! Being a local he knew all the ins and outs of Thailand and I learnt a lot from him. He is very knowledgeable and a lot of fun to be with. Go Pong! The trekking guides were also brilliant - Pan and Boon if I remember rightly. It was great to watch them run up and down those steep slopes in their flipflops stopping every now and then to machete through the bush and make haats out of palm leaves. They're also great cooks!
Do you feel your holiday benefited local people?
Not sure about this one. Im Trav deifinitely show respect towards the local tribe people but I did feel rather intrusive at times. Money wise I thought that Im Trav did benefit the local people as one person from the group was always responsible for giving the guide etc a tip (tipping kitty)
Do you feel that you got under the skin of a country?
Yes - again mostly to the knowledge of Pong. Of course, traveling in a group can limit your experiences of a country but it was so diverse and we got to see a lot of things other tourists don't (Pong´s impromptu ´tour´of Bangkok was a whirlwind of colours, foods, smells and madness - especially the 5 man tuk tuk ride and the taxi boat that had tarpaulin on each side to stop the canal from pouring in as we sped nosisily towards the centre!)
What advice would you give to other travellers?
If you want to see and feel a country or an area go on an Im Trav tour - you´ll see so much and meet so many likeminded people and go away with a fine sense of achievement. Recommended.

What did you think of your tour leader?
Excellent, very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.
Do you feel your holiday benefited local people?
Yes, eg the hill village certainly got some trade from us - but there was a slight feeling of laying things on for the tourist which I'd have preferred not to have been there. eg doing a traditional dance, not really necessary. Difficult fine line.

Yes - because geographically we saw a fair bit, you did start to get a feel for the different areas and it was great stopping off at roadside cafes and stalls and seeing a bit of real Thailand.

We were a bit worried to start with, taking our 10 and 12 year old children on this type of holiday but we really needn't have worried. We had a fantastic time from beginning to end. The children absolutely loved it, and because all the travel arrangements, transfers etc were taken care of, we could just enjoy the country to the full. It felt safe, but at the same time quite an adventure, an excellent combination for a family holiday.

Hi guys... I am going on the Beaches and Jungle tour that takes place between Saturday 25 April and Saturday 2nd May, departing from Bangkok.

Indochina Adventure, 18/12/09
So, I took the plunge and booked this tour today, and I know time's going to drag between now and December as a result, particularly as I pretty much can't have any time off work until I go! Anyway, I just thought I'd get in early and start a topic for anyone who's taking the tour, to say hello etc. Apparently only me and one other person have booked so far (feel free to step out of the shadows and say hello, whoever you are), so we could do with at least another 4 of you signing up too - that way the tour will be guaranteed to run. :D Look forward to hearing from you!
