Like any wildlife or nature sightseeing excursions it’s is unpredictable if by our own pre sense it will ‘perform’ for us. But we were in the hands of Mr Daeng who is a true conservationist. He has facilitated agreements with local fishermen to work along side the feeding habits of the dolphins and this helps everyone especially his beloved dolphins. So, if you are lucky you will have the full dolphin sighting experience or spend a couple of hours seeking them out only to see brief sightings or just their brilliant pink beaks taking in air. Either way you will be educated (Mr Daeng is knowledgeable and passionate about all things nature) and floating quietly and gently in a longtail out on sea is an experience in itself. Be prepared for changes to your itinerary as dolphin spotting is the main reason of this trip. It doesn’t matter. You will have a great morning or whole day trip. We can highly recommend, we learnt so much. Thank you Mr D.

We had a fantastic experience this evening with Linh, who was a wonderful guide, extremely sweet, and took us to eat the best food of our lives. Thank you so much to her! The tour was good value, however, I would not book through South East Asia Backpackers again. I recommend you get in touch with Friends Travel Hanoi directly instead. Having completed the online booked and paid a deposit through SE Asia Backpacker, I was not given any information about the tour (e.g. when or where it would start!), just the contact details for Friends Travel so I could reach out to them and book it myself. It turned out that there wasn’t even a tour running at the time I thought I had booked, and they knew nothing about the deposit that I had paid! By booking through this site you’re basically paying for a WhatsApp number for you to arrange your own tour 😭 Better just to contact the tour operator directly. But I recommend you do, as the tour itself was fantastic ☺️

Very qualitative ! The food is amazing good, the coaches and the coaching are qualified, qualitative, friendly, harmful, funny and traditional. The room at the resort is very great and near to the camp. The place is really beautiful and calm. I recommend 100 %. Thanks for taking care of me. Chock Dee Krap 🙏🏽

Sitjemam has set me up on a lifelong fitness journey. The people I met there were wonderful humans, kind, patient, enthusiastic, bursting with character. Humans from all over the world and the wonderful Thai and International trainers. The gym is set in a beautiful location, just beneath the Himalayan foothills, its wonderfully green, birds sing, dogs chase you playfully and sometimes scarily lol (as they do locals), but the village of Na Chalon is quaint and peaceful. I would walk to the gym everyday at 8 and begin my warm up, sometimes the mist hung around from the rapid sunrise, it would chill the air and give you the extra umph for a hard train. Around 11 after training the sun is shining and you take some rest and brunch, maybe chicken from the catfish grill lady on the Pai town outskirts. It was class Evening training would be sweat filled and the heat rise up in all the fighters, creating a group sense of competitiveness and desire to push each other. I felt very emotional leaving, I found something deep that was unlocked in my own sense of travel and my own confidence. I am sure I'm a better human for coming here, I can't wait to come back in December. some photos of my trainers at Pat Fight Night

Exceeded all out expectations.. The guide was very good, the boat itself was beautiful ..spacious and very clean with great loos! The food was excellent and the transfers to our hotels in Pakbang and Luang Prubang were all included and easy. The river journey was stunning.. we only wished for even more days. We enjoyed the visits to villages and cave of Buddhas .. the only small change I would wish for is an extra 10 minutes at the buddha cave steps were very long and steep meaning only 5 minutes in the cave for us as an older slower couple. Highly recommend staying in Huay Xai the night before as we did ..it is lovely and to avoid stress of early morning border crossing whichnis outside of Nagi control of course
