Discovering Thailand

“The holiday surpassed all my expectations”

“Overall I would like to say thank you for setting up these wonderful tours which give us ordinary westerners a chance to live in another country and culture for two weeks. It was so much more than a holiday, I feel doors and windows have been opened into, not another world but another facet of my world, linked by trade and the skills of ordinary people. The memories I have will not only sustain me over the next year, but have also raised my consciousness of the richness and diversity of human life”

“One of the big advantages of this trip was travelling with people who so clearly know and love Thailand and the Thai people. I felt I learnt not just about the country, but also an insight into the culture and history of South East Asia”

“Enlightening variety of projects, very humbling to see the skills used by producers as part of their everyday work. The visit to the silk weaving producers of Ban Na Pho was my favourite. I love textiles and the creative side of colour and patterns, it was wonderful to see this all happening in practice”

“The day in the Raitong village, the paddy fields, and meeting the school children was magical”

“The briefing day was a useful introduction to Thailand and it was good to meet my travelling companions”

“Always helpful and enthusiastic, no question was too small and the commitment of staff in the UK certainly influenced my decision to go on this trip”

“Meals were always good and some outstanding. Suwadee could always be relied on to order a fantastic spread and give us information about the food. A really good introduction to different types of Thai food from different regions”
