Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful and memorable 40th birthday. My family and I went on the Rafts, Jungles and Beaches Family Tour (29 December - 2 January 2008) to celebrate my big birthday. What a fantastic time. Our guide Nuwa was sensational - funny, flexible, knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. We were truly a family group with the grandparents coming along so our ages ranged from 6 to 65. There were times when the itinerary was a little too challenging for both the youngest and the oldest but at these points Nuwa was unflappable making alternate arrangements or finding ways to make it work.

Highlights? My mother (grandma) parasailing in Koh Samet, our six year old son on his first Tuk Tuk ride ...boy did he think that was the coolest thing EVER....the kids (and the big kids) jumping off the Floating Jungle Rafts and being swept downstream by the strong River Kwai current, riding elephants through the jungle, trekking in the hills, our nine year old daughter bartering at the Night Markets like she'd been doing it all her life, the lady selling orange juice on the night train to Chaing Mai.

The adventures that my family shared over the 2 weeks and the shared memories we now have are the best birthday presents I could ever imagine.

Thanks Kumuka.

Introduction: Starting in the bustling capital of Bangkok, we visit the amazing Grand Palace, and explore the Floating Markets by small canal boats. We see the famous Bridge over The River Kwai before heading out into the jungle by boat, through spectacular gorges, to our floating jungle raft hotel. Here there is the chance to ride elephants, go bamboo rafting, explore mystical caves and swim in the river. After exploring the ancient capital of Ayutthaya on bikes, we take dinner on a rice barge before heading north to Chiang Mai. From here we visit an Elephant Centre, trek into nearby villages to meet and stay with the hill tribes, have more opportunities to ride elephants, and have time to explore the night markets and learn how to cook Thai food. We fly back to Bangkok and head to the beautiful beaches of Koh Samet, where we can swim in the clear waters, relax on the beach, and sample the delicious Thai cuisine.
