An amazing way to discover Bangkok. In krabi the stay was good.. Travel to nearby places were very good.. Hotel staff were very good.. In Phuket (Patong) the place was horrible.. The hotel you suggested was very bad..

I’ve been to Bangkok 3 times now and never really been that in love with the city but going on this tour gave a whole new appreciation for it, I saw places I’d never been, the temples at night are just amazing and so different to the crowded day scen

We joined this tour on the first day of our trip to Thailand after landing the night before. It was perfect to have someone guide us around the city that first night as we were getting our bearings and experiencing a new place for the first time. Our
