Questions couples ask

Do we travel with other people?+
Yes. The journey runs in a small group of up to 8 with an English-speaking guide. Italian, French, German or Spanish-speaking guides can be requested, with a separate guide for each language.
When should we arrive and leave?+
Flights into Chiang Mai should land by 10 am, or meet the group in the city at 1.30 pm. The group will not wait for late arrivals, so a night in Chiang Mai first is recommended. The journey ends at Chiang Rai airport at about 2 pm.
Can we add nights?+
Yes. A night in Chiang Mai beforehand is recommended, and an extra night in Chiang Rai is easy to add when you enquire.
