Jane Crowther says:
My husband and I have just returned from Thailand,we did the 9 day tour of Thailand. We had the most unforgetable trip ever. Max ,our guide was exceptional and nothing was too much trouble for him. I hope he carries on doing tours for your company, he is an assett. The whole trip was organised extremely well and all aspects of the tour were well planned.The accomodation was excellent, even the hut in the jungle was charactrful.The local people were so accepting and helpful, even making me a birthday cake!!. We will certainly use Kumuka again. Yours Jane Crowther

Introduction: This trip to Thailand - the land of tuk-tuks, elephants and Buddhas - is essentially about trekking to meet its tribal people and sample their cultures while exploring its famous rugged hillsides with their spectacular views. Firstly, there's a little traditional tourism in the bustling capital Bangkok, such as exploring the Grand Palace, plus the river market canals and then on to visit to the famous Bridge over The River Kwai with its relics of the second world war. Next, it's an overnight sleeper train to Chiang Mai, Thailand's jewel of the north, for our trekking. Over three days we will travel on foot and elephant back - as well as rafting on a bamboo raft on the Maetang River- as we visit the villages of White Karen and Muser to meet their tribes. Cultural highlights of Chiang Mai will be the holy Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep Temple, 3,520 feet above sea level, and visited by Buddhist pilgrims all year round, and night shopping in a bazaar. Finally we return to Bangkok on the overnight sleeper train.

	Helen’s a travel expert. She’ll help you find exactly the right tour that suits your requirements. She says she always listens before making a recommendation and doesn’t just hear about people’s travel plans but everything else that’s going on in their lives as well. ‘It’s no bother’ she says. ‘I enjoy it. I like to chat’. Some employers would discourage such frivolity and unpaid for extra service. Not us. We think it’s great.
