I had already been to Thailand once with my fiance around two years ago. That time, we had booked the package from a different tour operator and it was a disaster. After that experience, I literally lost all hope from all the tour websites. For a very long time I was okay with booking everything individually and paying extra because it guaranteed some trip security.
But, this time, I booked a trip to Thailand with Thrillophilia for my bachelorette party. There were two reasons for trusting a travel agency again; first that I did not have much time and energy to plan a trip in between my wedding plans. Secondly, one of my best friends had already tried and tested Thrillophilia and was really impressed with its services. Under these circumstances, I decided to try out Thrillophilia.
And this is how it went. Surprisingly, the packages were pretty affordable compared to other sites. Also, the agent who connected with me was extremely knowledgeable, polite and knew his work well. Not to forget, the booking process was also pretty easy and everything was carried out smoothly. To double-check, I read a lot of satisfactory Thrillophilia reviews online with real pictures and good ratings. After this, I think I became a little confident on my decision and got a feeling that this is going to be a great trip.
Finally found the right travel partner
Before boarding our flight to Phuket, I received a call from the agent saying that our driver would be waiting for us outside the airport. Upon arrival, we grabbed our luggage, and could easily find our driver outside the airport. Then we got transferred to our first destination, Krabi.
It was a really fun 2-hour road drive during which we passed through a lot of stunning places. The driver played some Thai songs I guess because that’s all he had, but we danced to it anyway (Ps: we all are still secretly listening to those songs because the beats are really addictive). Finally, we arrived at our beautiful pre-booked resort where we received a very warm welcome from the staff.
Our first day was at leisure so we decided to explore the city on our own. After freshening up and having a wholesome meal, we rented a scooter and reached Thung Teao Forest Natural Park. There we enjoyed a relaxing swimming session in the gorgeous Emerald Pool. At night, we went to the Krabi Night Market for some shopping and trying out local snacks.
The next day we all dressed up in pretty floral dresses and flip-flops for our island tour. I wore a ‘Bride to be’ sash and my friends wore a ‘bridesmaid’ sash. Our driver dropped us off at the port from where we boarded our private speedboat. We visited some really stunning islands such as Hong Island, Bamboo Island, Ko Phi Phi le and Poda Island. We also did snorkelling and swimming, after which we enjoyed sunbathing while having super delicious cocktails.
On the third day, we left for Phuket right after our breakfast. Then we checked in at our pre-booked hotel in Phuket and decided to take some rest for a while which ended up as 3 hours of sleep. I still regret wasting half of our day in travelling and sleeping, but the night was still young. In the evening, we quickly got dressed up and explored the local Phuket market because you can never get enough of shopping in Thailand. At night, after a splendid Phuket sunset, we got to experience the lively nightlife of the island and even got invited to a party by some friendly locals.
On day 4, we did a city tour of Phuket. We explored several attractions like Kata Karon Viewpoint, Wat Chalong Temple, Big Buddha and the Old Town. In the evening, we went to one of the most recommended restaurants in the reviews of Thrillophilia for our dinner. There, we tried some delicious dishes such as Pad Thai, Khao Pad and Khao Soi.
Day 5 in our itinerary included a visit to the famous Phi Phi Island. We spent the entire day on Maya Beach. We enjoyed a short hike to Maya Viewpoint from where we could overlook the entire island and it was a beautiful experience. We also enjoyed swimming and then had some snacks. In the evening, we also got to witness a breathtaking sunset which was I guess the highlight of the day.
And unfortunately, day 6 was our departure day. We left for the airport, saying goodbye to this gorgeous place where we got to create a lot of fun memories. On my way back, I realised that I had found my lifetime travel partner who is going to keep up with my expectations.
Thrillophilia is the right choice
One bad experience can really make you doubt everything and everyone. But gladly, I could somehow trust Thrillophilia and it was the right choice. This company really proved to be different in the market and now I am never going back. I cannot wait to book another trip with Thrillophilia, this time with my ‘soon-to-be husband’. This Thrillophilia review is all about how my perspective changed about travel companies and hopefully, it might help someone else like me.
