On my recent trip to Thailand, Bangkok street food tour was a fantastic way to discover the delicious food scene of Thailand. The chicken satay and papaya salad were some of the highlights, and we also got to try some unique dishes that we wouldn't have discovered on our own. The Chiang Mai cooking class was another highlight of our trip. The course was held at the Chiang Mai Thai Cookery School, which gave us a unique and authentic experience. The class was well-organized and easy to follow, and we learned how to cook some of the most delicious Thai dishes. The instructor was informative and provided us with helpful tips on how to prepare the dishes at home.
Overall, it was an excellent and enjoyable Thai cooking experience. On the last day in Thailand, I had the pleasure of visiting a Local Handicraft Village, and it was an unforgettable experience. The village was filled with skilled artisans who were creating beautiful handicrafts using traditional techniques. We got to watch the artisans at work and learn about the intricate processes involved in creating the handicrafts. The village was bustling with activity, and we could feel the passion and dedication of the artisans as they worked. The handicrafts on display were incredible, and we were amazed by the level of detail and craftsmanship that went into each piece. We also had the opportunity to purchase some of the handicrafts, which made for unique and meaningful souvenirs. The prices were reasonable, and it felt good to support the local community. We left the village feeling inspired and enriched by the experience. It was a unique and authentic experience that gave us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the country.
We cannot thank our guides and their team at Auasia Travel enough for the great service that they provided for us. We would thoroughly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Southeast Asia and Thailand.Less

When we first started planning our trip to Thailand, we were told by many people that we could do it ourselves.

We found just what we were looking for in Auasia travel.
Kim was exceedingly efficient at returning emails and letting us know what she needed from us as well as soliciting our requests. Since we were traveling with our nine year-old daughter, we wanted to be sure that we were doing things that would be age-appropriate and interesting for her. Kim was able to coordinate our interests in a very cohesive trip. At one point, Bamboo Airlines went out of business, and she immediately reconfigured our flights. The guides were uniformly excellent, and informative. We would have no hesitation in using Auasia Travel for a future trip to Thailand.Less
