“He was a great guide ”
Saroj was very concerned about us in the heat and when we walked upstairs and downstairs. He was very thoughtful and showed us everything that we wanted to see. He also did research before we arrived in Bangkok so that I could obtain my Thai birth certificate. He drove us all over. He was very nice. He also was very knowledgeable about the Thai culture and religion. Our eyes were opened to Thailand because of him. I highly recommend him.

Saroj Y.
Dear Jenny, Thank you so much for your heartwarming review! It was truly an honor and a privilege to assist you and Monty during your visit to Bangkok. Helping you reconnect with your roots and assisting with the research for your Thai birth certificate was a mission very close to my heart. I’m so happy that we could make that happen together. I’m also glad to hear that you enjoyed our cultural and religious discussions. My goal is always to ensure my guests feel comfortable, especially in the heat, and to provide a deeper understanding of the Thai way of life. Knowing that I could help 'open your eyes' to the beauty of Thailand is the greatest reward I could ask for. Thank you for your kind recommendation. I hope you and Monty had a safe journey back to the USA. You are always welcome back in Thailand! Warmest regards, Saroj Y.

“Fantastic Day in Bangkok”
We had a customized tour in Bangkok focusing on the main temples and heritage sites. Even before the trip, the whole planning for our tour was super easy. Saroj understood our interests and promptly provided us with a recommendation. He is super on time, his car is brand new and comfortable, he has a lot of knowledge on each site and will tell you stories and curiosities that you wouldn't find otherwise. At the end of the tour we asked him for help on specific shopping items and he was kind enough to accommodate and help us finding the items and communicating with the locals. I strongly recommend Saroj if you want to have a full/stress free day in Bangkok
Saroj Y.
Dear Pedro, Thank you so much for your kind words and for such a wonderful review! I’m thrilled to hear that you and Cibele had a stress-free day and enjoyed the stories behind our heritage sites. It was truly my pleasure to assist you with your shopping and ensure everything was comfortable for you. Ensuring my guests have a memorable and seamless experience is always my top priority. I hope to welcome you back to Thailand again in the future. Safe travels! Best regards, Saroj

“ Bangkok Highlights: 2-Day Grand Palace, Floating Markets, & Street Food Immersion”
Saroj Y was wonderful. We were 2 women with 2 days before a bike trip in Vietnam so we wanted to maximize our time. Saroy arrived early at our hotel wth enthusiasm and a clean and comfortable car. He was full of great information and personable and we did everything we wanted to do. We even modified our itinerary as we went along. For example, when visiting the temple complex, he pointed out the Watpo THai Traditional Medical and Massage School and we decided then and there to get a 30 mintute session. I woudl recommend him without hesitation.
Saroj Y.
Dear Jo Ann, Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you both and helping you maximize your time in Bangkok before your Vietnam bike trip. I am so glad our spontaneous decision to stop at the Wat Pho Traditional Massage School worked out so well—it’s truly the best way to refresh during a busy tour! My goal is always to provide a comfortable, clean, and flexible experience, so I’m thrilled to hear that I met your expectations. I hope your cycling adventure in Vietnam was incredible. You are always welcome back to Thailand for more discoveries! Warm regards, Saroj Y.
