Iris, she owns her own Lexus type vans, has her own long time driver, and no more than 12 in a group. The two times we went there were 4 of us plus her and her driver. It would have been even better with more members. All meals, except for some breakfasts, are family style, and she tries to never duplicate a dish. All the restaurants are vetted and they all know her. She has done this for over 20 years. She is retiring soon so don't wait. She only does 3 trips a year. We stayed in very nice Thai properties of all kinds.

In the end, it felt like a big family traveling together and not a group of tourists. Her trips are in the best weather time in Thailand. Even in Dec. southern Thailand is hot and so is the food.

Funny story: in Egypt we did underwear laundry one night and put it out on the balcony to dry. Wind came up and we had to go run around and collect it downstairs in the morning. In Thailand, we took our laundry to the lady at the end of the driveway. When we were coming back, it was all carefully laid out on the lawn drying.
