Amazing Day in Bangkok- thanks Army!!

Thank you to our tour guide Army!!! What a wonderful day! From the minute we were picked up to the moment we were dropped off- Army gave us a lot of information about Thai culture and history. He took group photos, gave suggestions at the markets, and gave us a first rate experience. He was patient and kind with our group of 11 and adjusted schedule to give us more time in the market. Highly recommended for a special day in Bangkok!!

Our guide was great but...

Our guide was great but there were too many people at the train station! Also, I would buy more if they didnt try to sell so hard. The temples were great and our guide was very knowledgeable.

Operator response

Dear Sue Thank you for your review. We will recommend our future travelers to bargain the price and refuse to buy if they did not prefer to buy at the market. Regards,

Amazing time, SO SO well prepared - pick Time!

Time is by far one of the best, if not the best, guides I've ever had on a trip. Our main concern was that we were traveling with two toddlers and the excurion we were taking was on the longer side (for them). We had absolutely zero issues with them thanks to Time's preparation and scheduling (checkbox #1). On top of that, he had the spots picked out perfectly and knew the local tricks to get the best seats for the railway market (and feed our kids at the same time). He was so kind and answered all of our questions about Thailand and knows SO MUCH about his country, it was amazing. We got an education along with the tours! Would 1000% recommend Time and would hire again! The cherry on top was that he was able to capture some wonderful family photos for us! This never happens even when we hire expensive photographers, lol!

A Great Tour Experience with an Excellent Tour Guide

Our tour guide, Neng Eang, was a breath of fresh air who immediately sparked connection the second he was introduced to my whole family with his endearing and warm personality. Our tour of Bangkok’s railway and floating markets was memorable because Neng made sure he served as the “cooler” so to speak on an otherwise a very hot weather as he made sure we were comfortable (e.g. bathroom use, airconditioned van, sumptuous lunch and snacks, cold drinks). Neng also served as our “translator” when we’re haggling with prizes for example, 😂. It’s always nice to enjoy a tour of any kind here in Bangkok when the guide is very likable and speaks fluently.
