          Unique Adventure
          Amazing experience from start to finish! I went with my husband and we had an incredible time. Very unique experience for those who prefer something a bit different.

          Disappointing Bang Rak
          The tour we experienced did not match the description given. There were no hidden alleyways, secrets or cultural hotspots, just visits to a few local restaurants. We did not venture off a small part of Charoen Krung Road, a tiny part of Bang Rak, and went nowhere near Silom Road or Patpong as was advertised. There were supposed to be opportunities to shop for local goods in those areas but that didn’t happen. The whole tour lasted barely 2 hours instead of the 3.5 hours scheduled. The whole thing was very disappointing.

          The Grand Palace is a must see if your visiting Bangkok
          The Grand Palace Bangkok is a must see if your visiting Bangkok. We had a very knowledge guide who shared her vast amount of knowledge with us. Highlight of our stay in Bangkok . Awe inspiring the detail, history connected to the grand palace design both in its exterior and interior appearance is breathtaking. The array of stones and the colours arranged adorning and laid carefully into the architecture and the statues which are abundant throughout the grounds are beautiful in appearance. The grounds also are well cared for and maintained throughout the site. Best time of day to visit is early am as it gets very hot and extremely busy if you go later. We booked on an individual tour and visited early in the morning just prior to the rush of the larger group tours arrived.

          This journey along the Kwai fulfilled all our expectations, and more. Thoroughly relaxing and informative in all respect
          When I first viewed this trip I was concerned at the lack of feedback from travellers so felt we were travelling into the unknown. This was back in early 2024 so apologies for the late review having enjoyed the trip so determined to write a review. My partner has already submitted her report so I will just add on my additional views; firstly Saint Krista, a wonderful German lady who was the cruise manager..no words can fully compliment this outstanding lady for the care she provided during my partners (tummy) illness. I remained on board during the day to provide comfort etc whilst the other folks went off on a day tour. Sitting upstairs on a shady deck during the day, enjoying the Kwai flowing past, whilst both myself and Krista had pleasant chats over coffee or Ricard (good for a poorly tummy) the chef enquiring what sort of a lunch I would like prepared, was five star. I can add that the food prepared for us was outstanding; the chef was quick to adapt her menu to our individual idiosyncrasies - not too many fortunately. Krista was always to hand and passed all our compliments and requests to Chef. Meal timings were fluid, as some of the trip timings changed due to traffic and tides. Breakfast was superb with individual choices freshly prepared. Readers may be interested in the bar, I certainly was! All bottled but containing a Catholic reasonably priced selection of liquor. I certainly needed a few stiff Ricards for medicinal reasons. Beer was local and wine imported, slightly pricy until the friendly barman pointed out a wine bargain. A bottle, purchased, can have your name on it for the next evening etc. A tab is run, payment on the final evening. To sum up, a marvellous mini cruise on a fascinating historic and interesting river, in excellent hands on board a quirky ship and and cabin. I would like to experience it again, if just for the care and comfort we experienced at the hands of Krista and her crew! Happy to answer any questions you have. David

          Beautiful Historical Sites and Scenary
          The sites were beautiful and our guide was full of knowledge, answering all of our questions. We got a lot of pictures of the stunning scenery. Travelling the river between Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand was extraordinary. A must-do when in Chiang Rai!!

          Hau Hin was a very relaxing. Plenty of eateries. cheap of course. beach about 50 meters away. Stayed for a month and that wasn't long enough. Anyone thinking of going... "go"...

          Great morning on the river
          Great communication, picked up on time in an air-conditioned van. Boat driver had good English with good knowledge of the area and great traditional Khao Soi. Would highly recommend.

          A unique experience not to be missed!
          Beautiful boat and although small, with single beds, the cabins are cleverly designed and have aircon. The shower and bathroom all work perfectly and there was never any hint of running out of water, power, etc. There were only 9 of us on board when we travelled; I believe the maximum guest number is 20. Krista, the cruise manager, is excellent and looked after me when I unfortunately wasn’t well (nothing to do with the boat or their food), providing me with medicine and reassurance, and also making sure the bed was made more comfortable for me as I personally found it too hard. I sadly missed out on the trips but was content to stay in my air conditioned cabin and watch the world float by. The boat anchors in the middle of the river at night and tows a small tender at all times to transport people to the bank for trips, etc. The staff are all excellent and attentive, led by Krista, with entertainment put on by the staff on the last night. My partner stated that the food was lovely and lots of it (I wasn’t eating at this point!). I was sorry not to have experienced it more but would happily recommend.

          Floating market for TOURISTS
          We ventured out to see the floating market, upon arriving and boarding a paddle boat it became very apparent that this only run for tourists. Souvenirs shops abound every inch of the water ways . The worst feature I. Our view is the use of long tail motorized boats' they are noisy if uou like to be in an srea with diesel and gas fumes its eonderful. VERY POLLUTING IN MY OPINION GET RID OF THE MOTORIZED BOATS. OVERALL I would give this a very very poor rating however if you like things created only for tourists go for it.

          Good deal - one time experience.
          Civilized dinnercruise. Well organized. Food served at the table on a nice boat. Relaxing background music. "Nouvelle cuisine" food OK. Not "Waaauuw", but certainly not "Pfff" either. We opted for "free flow wine, beer". Good quality wine available (Prosecco / Rioja). Does not come exactly cheap (100€ pp), but all in all a good deal if you don't like the disco-boats with buffet-food.

          AVOID!
          AVOID! I just want also to let you know that - I have 30 years of tours/traveling so this is not my first experience - This is a private tour (but, honestly, 80% of what I am going to write would be bad for a group trip too….) and the price isn’t cheap - After this excursion we had very good tours, so, yes, we were unlucky You can just read title of each point or read the whole thing if you want to know more. 1) English tour guide and no English 😳 ? The guide (Mark) speaks little to no English. To the extent that when we were asking questions slowly, the broken English answers he gave were unrelated to the topic. 2) A real tour guide? - During our car trip to the different attractions Mark didn’t give us any context: we didn’t know we were going, what we would see, and the location’s basic history. Zil, none, zero, nada… we tried multiple times in different ways to let him know we wanted to know more. It always fell on deaf ears. The trip was him either talking to the driver or on his phone. - All the information he gave us was a game of true or false. We would get out of the car and all he would say was “we are at X/Y/Z”. As afore mentioned, he gave very basic information: when asking other guides afterwards, we discovered what he said to be mostly wrong. Since he was checking Google most of the time to answer at our basic questions, I am wondering why he didn’t get the info right? - For Thai people the Royal family has an immense value. This guide wasn’t able to even distinguish one king from another (not even to say if the figure portrayed was a king or not 👀 ) , even in front of photos. This left us wondering whether he even is a real tour guide. 3) Let’s keep up with the pace! Mark would quickly walk ahead, neither waiting for us nor checking where we were, leaving us slightly lost at times. 4) History and math test time! I think this is less important but was a kind of the cherry on top of the pie. - His answers assumed we were already aware of every step in Thai history and that what he was saying was common knowledge. - When we were asking for dates on events/buildings, Mark replied using the Thai calendar. When asking for clarification, he would always say either 100 or 250 years ago, which we later discovered was also not true for most information. To sum up, RUN away from this tour!

          Cozy Chiang Mai
          Good size of city with beautiful mountainous view. Not too crowded, but it is easy to get anywhere in the city. Beautiful temples. Good food of course. Night markets with music are pleasure evening entertainment to be after a beautiful day.

          Floating Markets - don’t bother
          We booked our visit to the floating markets privately. The markets were a long drive from Bangkok city centre. The market was very disappointing, a few stalls all selling what can only be described as ‘Tat’. We went past a sign on the waterfront saying that the noise and pollution was making the residents of the area ill- makes you wonder what impact your visit has.

          Excellent tour
          We went to doi Suthep, phra lay, and chedi luang. Timi was an excellent guide. She customized the trip for us per our request. At the end of the temple tour we went to warorot market. She knows the market like the back of her hand, took us to best shops for street snacks and food. Overalll, we had an excellent experience. Do not miss Phra Lat!
