and Stories from Our Travellers |

"I
would highly recommend a People to People Tour to Thailand.
It is a unique experience that is completely different
to anything I've ever experienced. A unique opportunity
to visit Fair Trade producers in rural villages and gain
a better knowledge and understanding of how fair trade
works. The food was delicious and the people incredibly
friendly."
|
"I
enjoyed the sightseeing just as much as the spinning and
weaving activities. A great variety - preparation, spinning,
dyeing, weaving and back strap weaving. I wouldn't like
to sacrifice anything I have seen and experienced so far.
I had a wonderful time."
|
"I
enjoyed the mix of excursions and introductions to the
people, the sights, sounds and taste of Thailand. A real
pleasure, I liked the variety and the different locations
and the opportunity to support village and community enterprises.
A thoroughly enjoyable experience."
|
"Watching
the skills and activities of the people in the villages
- particularly the preparations for the weaving - left
me with unbelievable admiration. The timing seemed adequate
for the program, I never felt unduly rushed."
|
| "A
very stimulating, enjoyable, varied and educational tour.
We were given a very full impression of life for the working
folk of this most attractive country. Thailand is a great
country to visit." |
| "Excellent.
Words fail me!" |
"This
has been a wonderful experience for me. My first
visit to Thailand, I have seen it - the country,
the villages, and their people - in a unique way.
I feel privileged to have met the Thai people and
been welcomed in this way."
|
|
|
| "I
feel privileged to have shared some of the intimate gentle
moments in the villages- I am sure they will be long-standing
memories." |
| "We
have packed in an enormous amount of experiences and information
as well as traveling. It has been an enormous privilege
to meet Thai people at work in their villages, and we
have been lucky in having the services of people who love
Thailand (and its population) so much and were so willing
to share the enthusiasm with us. It is infectious; and
well balanced with sight seeing as well." |
| "Varied
places and projects were good to visit as it showed you
different aspects of village life. I have really enjoyed
my time in Thailand. These past two weeks have gone really
quickly. I would love to come back again one day!" |

"A wonderful trip. I feel I
have seen many villages, had the chance to ask questions,
at times to participate, a good balance of busy-ness and
space. We have packed an enormous amount in. Seeing different
parts of the country, those tourists generally go to and
those they don't, was very helpful." |
| "I
appreciated being able to directly support village weavers." |
| "Everyday
was different and went like clockwork. (Our time was)
maximized to the full. " |
 |
| "It
was a good mix of fair-trade "People to People"
and site seeing. I hope I will be able to explain
to people at home what a wonderful country Thailand
is. We could learn a lot from you in all manner
of ways." |
| "It
was very varied, always interesting and I feel we
met some wonderful people. An excellent mixture
of learning and pleasure… (One personal note - I
am over 70 and never found any activity too taxing.) |
|
| "I've
had a fantastic trip and have gained good insight into
the tribal villages/ cultures. It's a great way of meeting
like-minded people." |
| "The
project visits were inspiring- watching the skills and
dedication of the craftsmen and women and marvelling at
the intricacies of the items they make, whether it be
fine silver jewellery or wonderfully fine silk scarves.
It was indeed a tour to remember - a real treasure for
the memory bank." |
| "This
trip was thoroughly enjoyed; the activities, the
restaurants and the company. Thailand is a beautiful
country and I will treasure my memories." |
| "The
un-rushed visits to villages gave us a good insight
into people's way of life, and I had a definite
feeling of partnership with the people we met in
our wish for a good life. Everyone seemed very friendly
and welcoming, and willing to show us how they live." |
