Shanker
Thailand with Ben & Hunter
What a wonderful trip — honestly, where do I even begin? From the moment I met Ben & Hunter (a day before the trip officially kicked off), I had a strong feeling this was going to be something special. Right from the start, they came across as genuinely kind, honest, and deeply invested in making this an incredible experience for everyone — and they absolutely delivered. From Day 1, the group just clicked. We spent every day together — exploring, eating, laughing — and it never felt forced. It genuinely felt like a group of friends rather than strangers on a trip. And the memories… incredible. Amazing food, great cocktails, endless banter, and those spontaneous moments that you just can’t plan — the kind that end up being the highlights of the trip. The hotels throughout the trip were all up to a very good standard — comfortable, well-located, and exactly what you’d hope for after a full day of activities. Food was consistently of high quality, well presented, and thoughtfully selected to cater to everyone’s tastes and preferences. There was always something for everyone, and every meal felt like part of the experience rather than just a stop along the way. Travel logistics were seamless from start to finish. Everything was well organised, transport was always on time, and we felt safe and well looked after at all times. There was never a moment where we had to worry about getting from one place to another — it was all taken care of. This review would not be complete without mentioning our wonderful local guide, Patcharee Ketsriburin (Beer). She was simply fantastic. Incredibly friendly, highly knowledgeable, and always one step ahead in anticipating what the group needed. Her communication was clear, her organisation was flawless, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. You really couldn’t ask for a better guide. Every activity, every location, every experience felt well thought out and intentional. I didn’t have to stress or plan a thing — I simply showed up each day, which is exactly what you want on a trip like this. In short — this trip was the real deal. I’m incredibly glad I took the plunge and signed up, otherwise I would have missed out on an adventure of a lifetime. If Ben & Hunter are hosting a trip, don’t even think twice — just book it. You will not regret it. I will most definitely be joining another trip with Ben & Hunter.
