Fab first solo adventure but I wouldn’t do it through Gap360 again! Just got back from the 25 day Thai adventure tour, a really wonderful trip with so many amazing memories. Our tour guide Mickey made everything 10x better, super helpful & knowledgable of Thailand. There is a huge amount packed in and you are moved on from each place quite quickly. This works for a whistle stop tour of Thailand but I’d definitely want to go back to spend far more time in each place. The tours are more catered towards late teens to early 20s - if you’re not someone who wants to be out drinking & up until the early hours every night then it is a struggle. Gap360 boast that one of the trip highlights is the “ethical” elephant sanctuary you get taken to, however I was greatly disappointed when we arrived to see elephants chained under a shelter with chains on their legs & very little give. After discussing this with our tour guide, two representatives from Gap360 came to speak with me and basically told me that as long as tourists keep paying the money to see elephants that this treatment of them will continue. In my opinion a tour company like Gap360 should be at the forefront of ensuring the exploitation of these animals is stopped. But sadly that’s business. I believe they need to be more open with their customers about what they will be seeing, especially paying so much. Thailand is such a haven for travellers you could 1000% do it by yourself for 1/4 of the cost.
