Our guide Max led us, Thai style, through the streets and alleyways, showing the historic sites and markets. Night time really gives Bangkok a special feeling and with Max’s knowledge I came away with a new understanding and admiration of the city and its people. Thanks again Max for a wonderful tour.”

The staff directed the que to push back into a single line. In the dark and wet my partner was pushed back into the Iconsiam water feature, where her evening dress and leather bag and contents was soaked. She was injured on the knee and hip, oblivious to the staff. We quickly had to buy a new outfit. We were not happy!!!”

There were two of us with Sunee, our tour guide, so we had time and the special opportunity to make our own floral decorations at the market. Sunee showed us a beautiful side of Bangkok that we hadn't yet discovered, including delicious Thai and Indian snacks. We felt completely at home with Sunee.
