    “Brilliant holiday! We had a fantastic time, our guides were friendly, knowledgeable and looked after us really well. The holiday ran very smoothly and we saw a lot of Thailand and Laos the average person doesn’t see. We also got to rock climb, go along underground rivers on an inner tube and stay in little huts with villagers. Highly recommended.”

    “I went trekking with Lost Earth and we had a fantastic time. The expedition was very well organized and we got off the main trails to see some amazing sites. The guides were fun and looked after me brilliantly (this was not the sort of thing I usually do). I am looking forward to doing another trek now! Thank you for a great time, and putting up with me lol!”
