Although I booked with a company called Adventure Company this tour Highlights of Thailand was run by a fantastic tour company called Intrepid. I look forward to using them again.
Day 1: Christmas Day - December 25, 2011 - the group of 12: a group of 4/family of 3 - mother, 2 daughters and their friend all from Ottawa, Canada (Linda, Lisa, Esther and Sean (though Sean lives in Ankara, Turkey now)); 2 couples from Queensland, Australia - one couple a little older than me (Felicity and David) the other couple older than me (Di and David); a younger couple from London, UK (Esther and AJ); another solo traveler from Chicago about my age (Kristen (Kris)) and me. And then our leader Chompooh (pronounced Shampoo). Fortunately we turned out to be a great group - all got along and everyone was happy!
So on the first day we took a boat trip along the river and then went to the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaeo where the Temple of the Emerald Buddha is located. In the afternoon we had free time and most of us went to Wat Pho (pronounced Po - wat means temple) This famous temple is due to the Buddha is reclining "lying down".
Then we boarded the train at 5:30pm for our overnight journey to Chaing Mai.
