Pui, our guide was...

Pui, our guide was friendly and efficient. There was no pressure to buy anything in the markets and we had enough time to roam.

The markets

We started with the train market and the experience was superb. We arrived by train, which allowed us to have both experiences, first inside and then on the tracks. The floating market is also fantastic and an extraordinary experience to do once in a lifetime...

First time in Bangkok!!️

I applied for this tour where I can eat breakfast leisurely at the hotel and then leave. Taro-san, the guide, was the best; he stopped for a restroom break, took us to a delicious lunch spot, and was just so interesting to talk to.

I had a fun trip with three friends and felt completely at ease!

I participated in a trip with three friends. The tour guide is Gen-san. Even if I'm not good at English, I felt at ease participating because they spoke slowly and used gestures. It was English that was easy for Japanese people to understand, not English with a Thai accent. They gave me tips and showed consideration, and although it was a reasonable tour, I was very satisfied! Thank you very much 😊
