Travel Tips for the Philippines

  • Dress Code: Light, breathable clothing is ideal due to the tropical climate, but bring a light jacket for cooler evenings.
  • Transportation: Use local jeepneys or tricycles for an authentic travel experience—it's cheap, fun, and a great way to meet locals.

We recently completed a 7-day trip booked for thailand through PickYourTrail, and overall it was a great experience. The itinerary was well planned, hotels were comfortable, and airport transfers were smooth. Their support team was responsive whenever we had questions. The trip was mostly hassle-free and enjoyable. A few activities felt a little rushed, but overall everything was managed professionally. I would definitely recommend PickYourTrail for a well-organized and stress-free vacation.
