We did a Bangkok temple tour and visit to bridge over the river Kwai. Pete was our tour guide and he is exceptional at what he does. He is very well known within the trade and if you’re with Pete you are a VIP. Kom was our driver and shuttled is to and from airport and our adventures! He is a great driver I would not want to drive there!

Definitely not what I was expecting. I booked this thinking it was a proper show with some actual real Muay Thai fights. It started with the compere welcoming the near empty cold hall to an “Evening of our Lives, Thrilling Real Fights” what we really got was 2 short matches by children from local clubs, 10 minutes of 4 guys practicing their boxing techniques on stage with background music not much of a show in my opinion, another 2 short fights with amateurs again from local clubs and then the supposedly main event that lasted all of a couple of minutes as the non Thai opponent did not look as though he knew what he was doing and not surprising the match was stopped by his trainers Overall very disappointing

We used I Asia Thailand (we used them last year) and we rented a van with guide Woody and driver. We requested Woody after good comments and feedback. We did a 8 hour day trip and they were punctual, dressed well, excellent English and very informative. We started from Patong and made our way north before stopping for lunch and then east road back to the south to the many view points. The van was clean with great aircon and wifi!!!. We also had our own hand sanitiser and also wipes throughout the day. I would suggest and recommend I Asia Thailand to any family and friends. We would happily use their services again!

My guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He and his driver picked me up, and dropped me off, at my hotel, even though it is well north of downtown. The Grand Palace and Wat Arun are amazing. I strongly recommend this tour. Be prepared for a LOT of walking.

Having toured most areas in Bangkok, I have found this to be my favorite - so much that I took a friend along for a second time. This is a fun introductory tour of this fabulous and exotic city. Going at night is so different with the lights, fewer crowds and cooler weather. The temples look even better at night. Traveling via TuK Tuk makes it extra special. My guide this time was a young lady nick named “Noon” from the tour group Expique and was excellent. This is a nice combination of culture, history and food at several points across the city. And then to top it off, I enjoyed buzzing back to my hotel on the Tuk Tuk listening to music from my phone playing via blue tooth thru the driver’s sound system. If you can only do one tour, I would highly recommend this one.
