Northern Thailand trip

I really enjoyed the two weeks as we got to experience really fun activities and everything is organised for you so it’s competely stress free. I especially like how sociable the tours are because we got to meet really fun people who were such a major part of the whole trip. Both our tour guides were really nice and knowledgable about the area. My favourite part of the trip was definitely the elephant sanctuary and Chiang Mai canyon. I would 100% recommend not just the tour but also Trutravels as a company as they are trustworthy and only take you to the best places - something I was grateful for , especially in the case of the elephant sanctuary as the animals were really well cared for and in no way were being exploited. Overall, the tour is a really easy and fun way to explore the country and is great for people ,like myself , who have not visited Thailand before.

What would you improve about this program?
It would be good if the tour included an extra night in Bangkok as we didn’t get to explore the city as part of a day trip and this would have been great as the start hotel in Bangkok is in a great location.

One of the best trips I have ever taken, nicely balanced with activities and chilling. I would even prefer more walking. 😉 great itinerary overall, liked everything except for maybe Chiang Mai great canyon. The highlights were elephant sanctuary, jungle trekking and Kanchanaburi river experience. Great cooking class in Chiang Mai as well! Art and Pompom did their best to make us feel happy and involved. This is my first backpacker tour and I very much loved it! These trips are perfect for solo travelers and give much better picture of the country than standard tours/excursions in tourist buses. Northern Thailand tour was definitely an adventure, would recommend to everybody adventurous, interested in exploring and experiencing. Not so much on history and culture, but also not so much on clubs and parties.

Very good 😍😁

The 14 days I really liked.My favorite was the hiking into the jungle and going to the small village. Never forget this 😁. Art and Arthur are super nice and interested in making everyone happy and always take care of us .You feel that you love your job. I would always book a trip again 👍. Being together with the group was just great I have met many new friends. I extended the trip by 8 days because the group is great and the organization is pretty good. Together we will explore the south of Thailand. There is something for everyone.

14 Days of Truly Incredible Fun!

A Tru Northern Thailand experience - truly incredible. All pre travel nerves are quickly settled once you step out of the airport and are escorted to the hotel in Bangkok and meet up with the tour guides with the biggest smiles on their faces and the rest of your special Tru Travel family of travellers and you feel immediately welcome. Once the tour starts it is truly unbelievable the amount of incredible places you see in such a short amount of time. If you think the itinery looks good then prepare to be amazed! From the tremendous Temples, fantastic floating markets, wonderful waterfalls, the welcome in the jungle from the hill tribe and feeding and bathing elegant elephants. It’s hard to put into words how much joy this tour produces. The tour guides Art and Arthur are two completely different characters but work so well together. Informative, funny and they always make you to feel 100% safe and want you to have the best time. In your free time away from the activities they will accomodate the lifestyle you want to lead whilst on the tour. Overall this tour has led to meeting the most incredible people, seeing sights I never thought I’d see and has been truly life changing. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

What would you improve about this program?
A fairly good level of fitness is required as the hill tribe trek and the waterfall walk could be physically difficult for some people.

Northern Thailand

This tour was the best way to start the new year. Our tourguides Art and Arthur made from the beginning on sure, that all of us are safe and having a great time. Especially the "family time" around dinner was well organized by them. We learned a lot about the Thai culture and went to many beautiful places. Especially the elephant home in Chiang Mai was one of my highlights. We had a fantastic time feeding and washing the elephants and even taking a bath with them. Also, without TruTravels I would have never spent a night at a hilltribe. It surely was a unique experience but worth the hike through Thailand's jungle. Also, adrenaline started to kick in when we were zip lining and went to a waterpark. We also had a great time at a Thai cooking class where we got to prepare five different but typical Thai dishes. I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves to explore Thailand's culture and is up for many fun activities!

14 days Thailand Northern Adventure

I just completed the Northern Thailand Adventure tour and I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone who wants to see the beauty of Northern Thailand! Every activity of the tour was well planned out by our great tourguides: Arthur and Art. They where very friendly along the trip and always trying to make everyone happy! I've seen a lot of cool places and did a lot of fun activities that I would not have done if I went by myself. For example the hill tribe through the jungle and staying with a local family, the elephant sanctuary, a traditional Thai cooking class, beautifull temples, the city of Bangkok, several waterfalls and beautifull nature, the nighttrain........ So so much! Everything was totally worth it and I enjoyed every minute!

Couldent be better

Couldent have imagined a better time, had such a good tour group and our guides Art and Arthur were the funniest and most humble blokes, are such a great team! Each day they were kind to everyone and made everyone laugh. Each hotel we stayed at was so much nicer then I was expecting, each meal we had was unbelievable and so cheap, they really showed us the best of places. Honestly couldent have imagined a better time in these 2 weeks, very sad to have to leave people! Many thanks to everyone on the team and the paperwork behind, as I managed to extend my tour which was also no hassle at all and very easy! The jungle trek was challenging for some people but that was one of the best experiences of my life getting there and then spending a night in the village, sat round the fire enjoying music with some drinks! Feel like I would have never seen as much coming to Thailand as I have done in these 2 weeks if it wasn’t for the tour so honestly can’t thank them enough. King Art and King Arthur!!

What would you improve about this program?
Wouldent have changed a thing. Only thing maybe put the jungle trek to but more than a beginner as some people struggled but I found it fine! Other than that nothing at all haven’t had a single problem

Adventure of a lifetime!!

As a solo traveller and my first time to SE Asia this tour is probably one of the best things I could have done. Along with Arthur and Art (our guides) being so friendly and welcoming, we had the best group and have met so many wonderful people and friends I hope I will see again. Together we shared so many amazing experiences around northern Thailand, from jungle trekking and camping at a remote village tribe, visiting the historic floating markets of Damnoen Saduak and my personally highlight playing with the elephants at the sanctuary. This certainly was an adventure of a lifetime and I have experienced many things such as bike riding through Ayutthaya and catching the 12 hour night train to Chang Mai which is something I would have never done otherwise. I truly believe this is one of the best things I could have ever done and I could not recommend it enough.

What would you improve about this program?
I would recommend that anyone considering to do this tour be quite psysically fit as each day is jam packed with activities. The walks through the national park and jungle trek are quite full on.
