“Bangkok highlights”
During our short stay in Bangkok Lin put together a great itinerary. Lin used her local knowledge to ensure we saw as much of Bangkok as possible using different modes of transport including the ferry, sky train and Tuk Tuk. Lin was very professional, friendly and accommodating to our needs. We would recommend Lin if you want to get the most out of your stay in Bangkok.
