A huge thanks to Jack for being such an amazing guide and making it an unforgettable day.

Living Green Elephant Sanctuary Tour from Bangkok and Pattaya

dominiqueeweiss, Jul 2026

a beautiful experience

I was a little worried about this experience but my kids really wanted to go- i was worried that we would be participating in exploiting elephants. This tour was anything but that. The elephants at the sanctuary were all captive work animals that were purchased and brought to a beautiful place where the have acres and acres of land to roam, food to eat, and a safe place to live out their days. We got to feed them, observe them and help bathe them. It was educational and thoughtful and the funds go to help support these animals. If you’re in doubt, you won’t regret going on this excursions

Coconut is great but it's hot!

Coco is great at taking pictures and making sure you have memories from the tour! Just be warned it's hot! Bring lots of water (in July) but nothing about the tour, just the way it is. I think they tried to give us cooled places (and the bus was nicely ACd) just be prepared. Bring a water bottle.

Tour Guide Angie - Ayutthaya temple, Maeklong railway market, Damnoen Saduak floating market

My tour guide for this experience was Angie. She was absolutely amazing. Even though, TripGuru was sending me information regarding the transport for the morning of the tour, Angie took it upon herself to inform all 9 of us as well (I travelled solo, but there were a total of 9 of us in the group). A very knowledgeable guide, I loved the fact that she had made written notes of the facts that she shared with us. Very accommodating, and caring. She paid a little extra attention to me as I was the only one in the group travelling solo, and I was grateful for that. She also took lovely pictures of us! She takes her job seriously, absolutely loves it and that came through in the 10 hours we spent with her!

Bangkok: Floating Market and Train Market Experience

Gille_P, Jul 2026

Great tour!

We opted to be picked up at our hotel. The driver was exactly on time right down to the minute. Most importantly, the floating market was fantastic, colorful with plenty to buy, a most wonderful experience! We then stopped for lunch at a delightful local restaurant next to the train market. We enjoyed our meal then walked the tracks, taking in the sights until the train passed through. This is when the vendors bring in their wares and retract their awnings to make room for the train! Finally, we walked along the tracks to terminal and boarded the train for a lovely ride. All in all, a amazing day!

Ayutthaya Temples Tour from Bangkok with Lunch

Rhea_K, Jul 2026

Great way to see the temples

I booked the early pick up (6.30am) and we were finished by 2.30pm. The temple visits are the right amount of time so you can see the sites without staying too long in the heat. Lunch was delicious 😋. William was a good tour guide who shared a variety of information about the sites and about the wider history of Thailand. A great trip. Would recommend.

This Bangkok Tour is banging !!

This tour was just fantastic. We choose where we wanted to go in advance and Choochai, our fantastic guide did the rest. Visited all the sites via public transport which was a great way to get around. Choochai made the trip easy and enjoyable and knowing was too much trouble. Would recommend this tour of Bangkok.

Bangkok City Highlights Tour: Grand Palace & Three Iconic Temples

Evelyn_J, Jun 2026

Brought our young kids on a Fun temple tour!

I'm so thankful we booked this tour! Nina was the best tour guide, so knowledgeable, so patient, so great with kids! We brought a 5 and 3 year old on the tour and had we not booked the tour we are not have been able to see so many different sites. We would have only been able to see maybe one of the sites if we went on our own. But with Nina she pointed out the best places to take pics, told us all about things about the site we wouldn't have known if we went by ourselves. Nina is the best and I also recommended this tour to all my friends and to anyone who comes to Bankok, especially if you have young kids and want to see the temples! Thank you Nina! We had so much fun! The pics are great too!
