I never usually write reviews but this was amazing. Kae our guide was excellent with good English. The last time I saw the palace was 17 years ago and I noticed a number of changes. Also, the large influx of tourist, mostly Chinese, have greatly swelled the crowds. The beauty of this site makes in the number 1 thing to do when in BKK. Id do it again in a heartbeat even though this was my 3rd time through. This tour was faultless as the guide really was engaging.
Hello btsopenwuu, This was recently launched with I Asia Thailand and thanks for your nice words on this tour. I am sure you have noticed that Bangkok has changed so much in the past 17 years! Hope to see you again, Nick
