“Wonderful Bangkok trip”
We had the absolute pleasure of having Saroj as our guide during our time in Bangkok, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! From the very first moment, his warmth and kindness made us feel like we were exploring the city with an old friend rather than just a guide. He has an incredible depth of knowledge about history, culture, and hidden gems.He is always calm, attentive and gave us fascinating insights, ensuring we had plenty of time to explore and soak in the beauty of each site-never rushing. Was very open to hearing what we were interested and didn’t mind adjusting the travel plans according to our needs. He suggested stops and activities we never would have discovered on our own.
