We made up the numbers on what was a Polish Tour. The commentary was in Polish with almost zero English spoken. There was a Thai guide but her English was only a little better than my Thai. We did the usual factory tours with a range from Cashew Nuts, Snake cosmetics and Precious stones accompanied by the usual hard sales and tourist prices. The highlight was the view from Promthep Cape which, besides the view, had some memorial for something and which I am sure the Polish were told what it was, and the walk around the Wat Chalong Temple complex.. We didn’t feel part of the group and felt like ducklings following along behind.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We would like to clarify that this tour operates with two programs: one for Polish-speaking guests and one for the worldwide market. Unfortunately, six travelers from the worldwide group (four Romanian and two Austrian guests) canceled their trip the night before due to changes in their plans. As a result, you were the only remaining guests from that program. Aware of this situation, we specifically instructed our Thai guide to take special care of you, and we also assigned a Polish guide who speaks fluent English to provide additional support. However, based on your review, it is clear that these efforts were not sufficient to deliver the experience you had expected. Although the itinerary was provided and followed as planned, we sincerely regret that the overall experience did not meet your expectations. We truly apologize for this unfortunate situation. Going forward, in similar cases, we will either inform our guests in advance or offer the option to cancel, to avoid disappointment. Thank you again for your honest review. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we assure you that we will improve our procedures regarding this specific issue. We wish you a pleasant day and all the best. Kind Regards, Natthicha
