I had booked this tour for the 19th of April but unfortunately due to a flight cancellation (grrr!) I couldn't make it. I was beyond thrilled when Sacha emailed to say she had managed to reschedule the tour for me when I was coming back through Bangkok as I had been looking forward to this tour for months. I didn't...

Thank you for your great review! Wish we could visit New Zealand sometime soon. We still have the orchids you brought for us in the vase! But, we put the jasmines into the refrigerator and forgot about it... When are you coming back with your sister to Bangkok? Hope you and her will do another tour with us. Tom More

This was a full day tour with a hotel pickup and drop off. We drove out of Bangkok, stopping to observe the workers at the salt fields before reaching a coconut farm and then onto a teak longboat for the ride through the canals. The floating markets were fascinating and we enjoyed an extremely delicious Pad Thai cooked by one... More

We took a half-day tour with Tom on our first day in Bangkok. It was very hot and humid and a day at the klongs was a great way to break into the Bangkok heat. Tom met us on time at the Krung Thonburi station and from the start it was like meeting an old friend. My 7 year old-daughter,... More

This was fantastic. We were collected promptly and and a nice smooth car ride through the city to the first floating market where we were given a taste of all sorts of fruits we haven't seen before together with a lovely coconut each to drink from. The floating market was a food market and there was no pressure whatsoever to... More

Our multinational team used the canal tour as a team buidling exercise. Tom organised that we would learn to paddle a canal boat as a team. At 36C on a beautiful sunny day this was a challenge for a bunch of desk jockeys. This tours was one of the best ways to see Bangkok. You get away from the tourist... More

First: thank you Tom for a fantastic day it was the best one we had in BKK. This is not a "sight seeing" tour. You will see amazing things, but not all of them on the guided tour circuit. You will see an amazing cross section of the city and its canals; totally worth it. If you have a checklist,... More
