“Wonderful customized Tour”
We could not have asked for a better day. Saroj, our guide was an absolute professional, engaging, knowledgeable and planned the trip too exactly fit our needs. Saroj spent the entire day, telling us about the ancient history of the area, taking us to a local market, which was wonderful, a boat ride around the island going to a local Thai restaurant instead of a tourist one. Can’t say enough good things about our guide and how easy it was to customize our day. Thank you for a wonderful day.

Saroj Y.
Dear Arthur and Leslie, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a generous and heartwarming review! Hosting both of you on your journey through Ayutthaya was a true privilege. My guiding philosophy has always been to steer away from rushed tourist crowds and instead curate mindful, unhurried journeys that connect travelers with authentic Thai heritage—whether that means uncovering centuries of history, enjoying the peaceful waterways from a private boat, or savoring genuine local cuisine at neighborhood favorites like 'Phak Wan.' Knowing that our customized day together felt effortless and delivered exactly what you were looking for is the highest compliment I could ever receive. I hope the rest of your adventure across Thailand was equally unforgettable, especially your time with the elephants in Chiang Mai. Wishing you both wonderful memories, safe travels, and good health ahead. It would be an absolute honor to welcome you back anytime! Warmest regards, Saroj

Saroj created the perfect Bangkok experience for us. it was expertly customized to our interests and to my senior parents' capabilities. Saroj was full of interesting information about history and really brought the sights to life with information we never would have had access to without such an excellent guide. It was a wonderful time in Thailand! Thank you Saroj and Siamese Trave!

“Amazing and personalised travel experience ”
We booked with Saroj because he can speak Vietnamese. This is important because of my wife family are Vietnamese and they don’t speak English at all. Throughout the four days with Saroj, he patiently explained sights with them, be their translator with vendors, and sharing his shopping spots (not tourist prices spot) with us. He is not rushy, he is flexible with any adhoc changes when we changed the itinerary on the actual day due to family requirements. He is very punctual and he also makes sure we were well fed and hydrated throughout the day. Most importantly, all of us felt that he is a very patient guide who manages our “not-on-time” during the trip without being upset. He is polite and respectful to elders during the trip. We will definitely look for him or recommend him to our friends who are coming to Thailand as a personal travel guide. Thank you Saroj and the team for making my family first trip to Bangkok a memorable one.

Dear Mr. Bor Erng, Thank you so much for your heartfelt 5-star review! It was a true privilege to guide you and your lovely family around Thailand over the four days. I really enjoyed conversing in Vietnamese with your wife’s family and sharing our favorite authentic local spots with you all. We care for our guests like our own family, so being flexible and adapting to your pace was my absolute pleasure. Thank you once again for your warmth and kindness. I look forward to welcoming you, your family, and your friends back to Thailand soon! Warmest regards, Saroj
