Musubi
“Outstanding professionalism, flexibility, and heartfelt hospitality”
As a licensed interpreter-guide and CEO of Musubi Ltd. with over 20 years in Japan’s inbound luxury travel, I recently joined a tour in Thailand that truly impressed me with its professionalism and heartfelt hospitality. Arriving late at night, I stayed at the airport-connected Hyatt Regency. Before booking the tour, I asked if I could be dropped off at a different hotel in Bangkok afterward. Mr. Leo’s prompt and accommodating response gave me peace of mind. At 7:30 AM, I met our friendly guide Mr. Scotty and driver Ms. Coco. The spacious MG van was stocked with cold water, tissues, and wet towels—details that made me feel genuinely welcomed and comfortable. During the ride, Mr. Scotty shared engaging stories about Thai food and culture. Sensing my interest in spirituality, he made a spontaneous stop at a temple in Maeklong City, where I took part in a traditional Buddhist ritual. It was an unforgettable and moving experience. At Maeklong Railway Market, we boarded the train early to secure seats and enjoyed the unique thrill of riding through the bustling market. Smiles from local vendors as the train passed were heartwarming. Later, we visited a 190-year-old coconut farm and met a kind local family. Their warm hospitality, coupled with the strong relationship they had with our guide, made the visit truly special. We then explored the floating market by paddle boat and even bought fresh fruit from neighboring boats. Lunch was served at a serene riverside restaurant—flavorful yet mild Thai dishes followed by coconut ice cream in a shell, beautifully garnished with flowers. From start to finish, the tour was seamless. Mr. Scotty and Ms. Coco worked in harmony, ensuring my safety and comfort. Afterward, I even received a thoughtful thank-you message from Mr. Leo. This experience reminded me why small details and genuine hospitality matter. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a meaningful and well-curated experience in Thailand.
