“This might sound a bit overdramatic, but for me, coming from modern city life in the US to a still-developing Thailand has been a revelation. Depending on where you're coming from, if you can put up with the warmer climate, you're in for a treat.

Not only did I learn about yoga and how to practice yoga, but I also learned about the history of Thailand and many interesting things about each city we visited (Bangkok, Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai). They stayed true to their namesake—this was a very educational tour that was so much culturally richer than other tours I've been on.

The highlight of my trip was the Phu Chaisai resort, high up in the remote hills of Chiang Rai. There's something healing about this place, far removed from civilization: after a couple of nights being surrounded by serenity, my insomnia went away and the quality of my sleep has been excellent, even after we left the resort. I also got to meet very interesting yoga practitioners there, and the tour of the surrounding Akha villages was fascinating.

The cooking class and elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai were also unforgettable experiences, but I don't want this review to turn into an essay, so I'll just conclude here: book your next tour with them if you get a chance—it might be life-changing for you, too.”
