“Brilliant guiding in Bangkok with Saroj.”
I made contact with Saroj a few weeks before my arrival in Bangkok. I gave him a list of things that I wanted to do over 2 days. Saroj then made a bespoke itinerary for me. It was well worth the cost, Saroj was wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble, we explored at a pace to suit me. I learnt so much about the history from him, along with the culture of today. It was so lovely to be picked up and returned to my hotel so I did not need to navigate public transport on my own as I was only there for 3 days. I cannot recommend Saroj highly enough.
