happy new year from Spice Tours

Sawat Di Pi Mai!
Happy Thai New Year!

Calm returns to Thailand

Songkran is Thailand’s New Year celebration, a fun spirited water-throwing festival, but this year it was accompanied by some untraditional political chaos. Most residents and tourists were unaffected by the April 10th to 14th demonstrations, with the government providing a step by step response that quickly restored order while dispersing the protestors without consequential violence.

Even during the height of the tensions visitors enjoyed their trips oblivious to the protests in Bangkok. No SpiceRoads tours were affected by the unrest and all our tours are running as scheduled. Sawat Di Pi Mai!

PASSING this on as I have done a bike trip with SpiceRoads and they were great :)
