Thailand

I had heard that the coastline and islands in the Krabi area were beautiful and going purely on the guidebooks thought I'd like to spend a few nights at Rialay Beach. Your advice to make Au Nang Beach near Krabi our base in preference to Rialay was well given because there was so much more activity –gentle, not brash- in Au Nang and it afforded a very convenient gateway to the truly beautiful Rialay Beach and other lovely places such as Pi-Pi Island, Bamboo Island etc . The Ao Nang beach is nice; lovely at the eastern end furthest away from the town, with a good selection of little beachside cafes

Your choice of the comfortable yet modest Great Western Hotel was also ideal. It was central in Ao Nang., The swimming pool was good and its proximity to the shops and beach restaurants could not be bettered.

My son and I enjoyed a wonderful week there. All the arrangements worked perfectly. Both pick up and return to the airport some 33 kms away were painlessly achieved and your local representatives were very helpful in arranging excursions. I would unhesitatingly go there again and would recommend your choice to any of your clients who want to visit that area.

Angkor Wat..the most desirable destination

Angkor Wat has been one of the most desirable desitination in my mind ever since I studied architecture. So much history and serene beauty that I wanted to see. Cambodia is still under major rebuilding phase ever since the country had gone thru civil war. Angkor Wat has been well protected under World Heritage site. It is breathtaking to see those structure harmonized with smile face of statues.

I was a bit nervous when I planed to visit only because I had such a short time. With help from a friend in US, I found Sonia from Connecting-Asia travel agency and made my trip absolutely great. Given the time which was only 3 days, I was able to maxmize travel experience with a private tour guide.

I recommend highly for kind and caring service from Connecting-Asia.

Difficult to come back to realities!

Our trip went very well and all the services you provided us with were excellent : no incident with hotel booking/vouchers, vans were punctual and quite comfortable. Everything was more than positive and we wish to renew our best thanks for your quality service.

Let me take the liberty to give comments on a hotel you booked upon our request in KOH CHANG but not suitable at all for the range of price (room rate 3800 baths) : the REMARK COTTAGE. Front beach bungalows were very small with no place at all for luggage which stayed on the floor, no cupboard for clothes nor hangers ; Bathrooms hardly clean (dirty walls) ; no possibility to have our toilet things close to water points. Regarding meals : plates were half-full compared with other restaurants, coffee only powdered for breakfast and We were stopped for getting a dessert during a dinner at 8.15 : it was too late ! On top of all that : no sand on the beach but many stones which made beach bathes impossible. A very small swimming pool with a lot of children during the week end. The sole garden was top. Maybe local people do not look for same as tourists but we were very disappointed by this resort.

On the contrary the CHANCHAOLAO RESORT that you had recommended was really wonderful : Fabulous rooms with great comfort and delicate care, marvelous beach close to the bungalows, Very nice welcome and very good restaurant : one of the best place we have ever seen ! Extraordinary for people looking for beach and rest but nothing around.

Hopefully we'll have the opportunity to go back to our dear Asia very soon. We will not fail to think of you then.

With our renewed thanks

Connecting Asia arranged a trip for 24 pharmacists and 20 doctors (2 different trips) so that they could combine a business trip with some sight seeing in Delhi.

They arranged a trip to Taj Mahal and a city tour in Delhi.I must say the arrangements made were absolutely "perfect" in every way, even to the restaurants/food/guides and even the manner we were greeted at the airport by their partners in India.

The doctors/pharmacists were extremely impressed with the trip and were comfortable in every way.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Connecting Asia to anyone looking for a professional company (who can handle communication so effectively in both languages - English and Thai) to take care of business as well as private trips. They have never disappointed me in any way.

When I first came to Thailand on business, language was a problem for me to deal with the hotel, transport and many other things. However, through an ex colleague in Thailand, I contacted Connecting-Asia, and I would really like to thank him for introducing me such a good company with professional service. The driver recommended was really nice and talked to us many interesting custom in Thailand when we were on the way to my customer's office.

Since then, I always contact Connecting-Asia each time I have a business trip in Thailand.

Hi! This is Assavani. I am glad to know Ms.Sonia from Connecting-Asia. She was the one who arranged our trip to Bangkok last year.

Together we traveled with 4 vehicles (4x4 wheel, 12 adults & 10 children)

We drove from Penang (Malaysia) to Surathani, and we stayed 1 night. second and third nights were stayed in Diamond Plaza, Hua Hin. A very relax and beautiful city. We left Hua Hin to Bangkok on 23rd Dec 2007.

We celebrated our Christmas eve on Chao Praya cruise. Also, I would liked to thanks Ms.Toom for her arrangement and we really enjoyed ourselves on the Cruise. Good view, good food, good music and good entertainment.

We stayed in Bangkok for 4 nights. While we were in Bangkok, Ms Sonia & her staffs arranged our local tours. They provided us with excellent service and professional Tour Leader.

Again, from Bangkok, we drove to Chomphon and we stayed a night. Chumphon is a very peaceful village and famous for scuba diving. From Chumphon, we drove to Hatyai and this was our last night in Thailand.

All of us really enjoyed the trip and thanks to Sonia and her staffs.
