“Kevin was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs and many questions. We loved the tuk tuk ride which provided a nice breeze on a scorching hot night. We stopped at a market for some yummy treats, the big swing, the flower market and supper at Thipsamai restaurant which had the very best pad Thai and then to Chinatown for dessert- mango sticky rice which was awesome. This is well worth the money as you get lots of food and it’s so fun riding on the tuk tuks. A great way to see lots of Bangkok. Highly Recommend!!!”
