My guide Pui was wonderful. I had a great day in Bang Kok. I was just there for a stopover so she made sure I really got the most out of the tour. Pui is a lovely exponent of her country and faith. I really learned a lot about Thai history and Buddhist culture.

Serat was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and took the time to tell us about Thai history and pointing out landmarks whilst we were driving around. She also took us to the largest jewellery store that we wanted to go to and waited patiently for us. Highly recommend

Mesmerizing! Priem is a professional, very polite kind man and has given us rich history information. Plus, he is very good at taking pictures so we also got a photo sesh in any venue we were. We always asked him advices regarding restaurants or souvenir shops and he was always on point. He is utterly open minded and he would always be very clear about the traditional costums. Priem gave us the opportunity (even though we spent a short time together) to look into the Cambodian life and we would surely recommend him as a guide.
