What Our Customers Said
Three weeks encompassing Vietnam
A special shoutout to our last guide in Bangkok - Ms. Ka-Noon who spoiled us with her kindness and then got us through check in and security for our flight home in record time at that huge Bangkok airport. MoreDeby, Feb 2023

Three weeks encompassing Vietnam
Three weeks encompassing Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos. Albee Ning arranged everything perfectly. Not a flaw in the whole 3 weeks. Guides, flights (7 in total), hotels, private tours…everything was excellent. Travelling on a private tour gave us so much freedom to change our day if we chose to rest or go somewhere else.

Over the last 5 years we've used Asia…
Over the last 5 years we've used Asia highlights twice. And both times we've had fantastic vacations. Would not want to do it any different when we travel to Asia from now on. Sharon was fantastic. She was a wonderful agent who helped us nail down our trip and make everything go as smooth as possible. MoreTodd Atwell, Feb 2023

Family Trip to Thailand
Our trip to Thailand comprised three generations of the family , ten people and an age range of 4 to 70 so a potentially difficult brief.Our itinerary over two weeks involved four locations, and a number of different trips and tours.From out arrival at an extremely busy Bangkok airport Asia Highlights were terrific.In each location we were met by a smiling , knowledgeable and professional guide who simply made everything easy and stress free for everyone.Our transportation was clean and comfortable . Transport was always ready for us at the agreed time and the drivers were excellent.There were so many highlights enjoyed by all the age groups. The floating houses , railway market and elephant sanctuary were particular favourites.We had one minor glitch with the accommodation in Phuket which was immediately dealt with by Tip. I think we would have struggled to resolve the problem by ourselves. So, thank you Asia Highlights , Cathy, Tip and tour guides Tanny, Sam and Lisa. It was a memorable holiday and we will be back.

Trip of a lifetime from Asia Highlights!
I recommend highly Asia Highlights as a travel company. Our travel consultant Albee took the time to connect with us during the planning process to make sure we were comfortable with our itinerary. When we arrived, we were met by our guide and all the details were attended to. They picked great hotels and tours. I often describe our trip as the trip of a lifetime! Would definitely use them again when we come back to Asia MoreNancy Parker, Feb 2023

Asia Highlights and Albee - highly recommended
Asia Highlights is very reliable agency and Albee is an amazing representative of the company. From the moment when we contacted her until our departure, the whole support we received was 6* level. She prepared our trip offer within few hours and afterwards she was extremely flexible to adjust as per our needs. In the period between the offer and the trip, Albee was always available for all our questions and supported us on the best possible way. During the trip she was again flexible to add new activities/transfers and this went on the smoothest possible way. Thank you, Albee and Asia Highlights. Definitely we will approach you again for our next Asian trip MoreAZ, Feb 2023

Itinerary in Detail
Upon your arrival, your private tour guide and driver will greet you at the airport and then transfer you to your hotel. In the late afternoon, you will head to the iconic mountain, Doi Suthep.
Situated only a few kilometers northwest of Chiang Mai, Doi Suthep is in one of the most famous national parks in Northern Thailand. The main attractions in the park include Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, scenic waterfalls, amazing bird's-eye views, caves, and local wildlife. Despite the stunning natural beauty of Doi Suthep, the main reason many visitors go to the national park is to visit Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, which is one of the holiest Buddhist sites in Thailand.
Many tourists visit Doi Suthep during the day and the park can get quite crowded. However, our tour takes place in the late afternoon after most people have left so that you can have a meaningful and personal experience. At dusk, you can listen to the evening chanting of the monks as you gaze at the glittering lights of Chiang Mai below you. You can also meditate there if you wish.

Situated in a pristine and picturesque valley in Chiang Mai, about 1? hours outside of the city, Elephant Rescue Park is a paradise for rescued elephants. It provides a safe, loving, and secure environment for all the elephants that live there.
There, you can spend half a day caring for the elephants. At Elephant Rescue Park, you'll interact with the elephants, feed them, walk with them, hug them, and bathe them.

Rising 2,565 meters above sea level, Doi Inthanon National Park is often called "the roof of Thailand". It is one of the most popular national parks in Thailand and is especially famous for its large number of waterfalls, hiking trails, remote villages, and picturesque mountain farms.
This park is also a great place to go bird-watching or to take in the beautiful scenery while watching a sunrise or sunset. Because it is located at a higher elevation, the weather at Doi Inthanon National Park is cool year-round, making it the perfect place to spend some time outdoors.
During this day tour, you will have the opportunity to visit the mountain's summit where you can see green-tailed sunbirds, take a gentle walk along Ang Ka Nature Trail, visit a hill tribe village and a small Hmong market, take in the scenery at Wachiratharn Waterfall, and appreciate the spectacular King and Queen Pagodas.
