Thailand Multi-Centre Holiday

I have recently returned from a two week trip to Thailand with my friend Liz Shaw, and I wanted to let you know that we had the best time. The flights, hotel, transfers were all superb and Thailand was amazing. Sea Bees were excellent, very professional and the trip to the Similans on Genesis was excellent. We really enjoyed the diving, particularly as we saw Leopard Sharks for the first time. Thanks so much for putting together the itinerary for us – it was perfect.
