What are people saying about Bangkok

Russel_B, Apr 2026

Great Day of Temple Tours

Great day out touring the countryside with Angie. Useful overview of Thai history was provided on the way out and in-depth commentary provided during each temple stop. Very kindly helped to take excellent photos of our group. Only seven on our tour so felt like a private experience. Highly recommended. Was hot due to the time of year but chilled water was provided.

Living Green Elephant Sanctuary Tour from Bangkok and Pattaya

Jan_S, Apr 2026

Ethical Elephant Sanctuary experience

It was a wonderful experience! We got to touch & feed the elephants! They rescue the elephants from the circus, places where they ride them and places where they work them hard. All of them are females who are or were pregnant & being abused. They don’t cage them, but let them walk freely. They feed them all day long & let them enjoy the water in the ponds daily. Glad I went & glad there are places like this. The only thing I didn’t like was that it was a 2 hour drive from Bangkok & nowhere does it tell you that ahead of time. We were in the car for 5-6 hours with pickups & drop offs and were at the sanctuary for 3 hours. That’s a long day in the car. People should know that before they book this.

Erawan Waterfalls and Bridge Over River Kwai Tour from Bangkok

Shaun_W, Apr 2026

Beautiful Waterfalls

Very well organised and presented by Tank. I felt the time allocated at each stop was enough for what it was: 25mins at the JEATH war museum 50mins at the Kwai bridge (timed to coninside with a passing train) 4hrs at the waterfalls. Nice air conditioned mini bus and water provided for the return journey. Left to own devices at locations, you don't have to hang out with the guide or the other punters. There is a suggersted restaurant at an extra cost for dinner which I opted out of. Note for waterfalls - take some slip on shoes/flip flops, as you'll be walking between waterfalls & dipping in & out of the pools. You'll be swimming with fishes, big and small, expect your feet & ankles to be nibbled. Be careful in the waterfalls as the rocks are very slippery - you could easily fall & sprain a wrist. There are lockers available at the start of the trail, but if you don't have one, any valueables will be left at the side of the waterfall whilst you swim - there are lots of creepy crawlies which could get into your bag.

Qazi_H, Apr 2026

Solo tour with Prin

Taking a solo tour was the best experience because Prin created a catered tour to everything I wanted or needed. We took breaks for as short or as long as I needed and let me explore as I wanted. She was very flexible and knowledgeable. She knows her history and she shared many great stories and rituals. She is best tour guide I have ever met.

From Bangkok: Ayutthaya Temples Small Group Tour with Lunch

Steve_M, Apr 2026

I recommend this activity...

I recommend this activity for the following reason: Hotel pick-up highly recommended, and although there's an end drop point, drive and guide go above and beyond by dropping at near to your hotel as possible. Though, return is in Bangkok's intense traffic, I recommend dropping yourself at the nearest MRT or BTS station. Then, each stop is allowed more than enough time to explore with freedom. If you desire more information about what you see, let the guide know, and he will provide you the history. Enjoy

Bangkok: Floating Market and Train Market Experience

Annika_G, Apr 2026

Recommended tour

I highly recommend this tour for souvenir shopping—it truly felt like a dream come true browsing the canals just like you see in the movies. Woody was an amazing tour guide—funny, attentive, and full of great recommendations. He really took great care of the group and made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Ayutthaya Sunset Tour: UNESCO Temples & Peaceful River Cruise

Bisakha_S, Apr 2026

Very good even in hot weather

Excellent trip, even in April heat. You see two ancient temples, then its a boatride (which helps you cool a bit), fish feeding in front of another temple and then hit the final one right at sunset! Nice guide. You get some free snacks and then there are vendors selling snacks at the temples. Just come prepared for the heat (emotionally and dresswise).

Private Tour: Best of Bangkok in A Day

Lynette_G, Mar 2026

A great private tour

A wonderful way to see the temples of Bangkok. Our guide was informative and got the pace just right. The ability to be carried in the air conditioned mini bus was a relief from the heat. The boat ride was a pleasant surprise and gave the chance to see a side of Bangkok probably not seen. Lunch, drinks, entrance, all included and was fabulous. Would highly recommend.

Small Group Tour to Ayutthaya Temples from Bangkok with Lunch

Barbara_C, Mar 2026

Must see experience!

All day tour encompassing the most important and beautiful Ayutthaya temple ruins. We had a wonderful guide. The site helpfully provided umbrellas for shading oneself - highly recommend using as it was very hot and little shade on site. The hotel pickup went smoothly and was a definite plus.

Khao Yai National Park Full-Day From Bangkok - Including Ticket

Phyllis_B, Mar 2026

Worthwhile trip to world heritage wildlife center

The park is worth seeing even during the dry season and if you do not see elephants. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the plants and animals in the park, played recordings of animal sounds and showed us pictures of them. There is a nice amount of walking, some steep.

Old Siam Bangkok Food Tour with 15+ Tastings

Lauren_B, Mar 2026

Best experience

This was the best thing we did while visiting Bangkok. We did it on our very first day and I would highly recommend the experience. We got to try a lot of foods we wouldn’t otherwise know how to order, and in an area we would not have known to explore. We got to travel by water taxi and tuk tuk which was a lot of fun too. Annie and Preme were amazing and made the experience even better. They were kind, funny and accommodating. They made everybody feel comfortable and excited and we are so happy we got them as our guides. Thank you!!

Bangkok: Floating Market & Train Market with Train/Boat ride

Debby_M, Feb 2026

Great tour on a hot day.

This is a wonderful experience. The train ride is great but the portion where it goes through the market is not to be believed. So much fun. And then to see the vendors pull their stalls back down was great. The floating market was great. Great to see. It was a full day with all the travel.
