About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Kevin C0 contributionsBangkok Tour for a day!Our tour of Bangkok was amazing. 3 temples, the flower market and a stop in a coffee house at the flower market, also China Town which was fantastic and overwhelming. Kitty was a great guide and we loved interacting with her. Highly recommend this tour!Written 1 February 2025
- priyapU7095IS0 contributionsInstagram TourI really enjoyed this tour! I learned so much and came back with some amazing photos. Natty is an absolute gem- we had a great time! I recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see beautiful temples and take great photos. Thank you, Natty!!Written 22 January 2025

Also my tour guide kitty was amazing! She told me so many things about thailand which i would have never known if i had not taken this trip with the team! I would thank the e tire team for giving me such a wonderfull exprience!Written 9 January 2025
- Travel340341970360 contributionsStuffed in Bangkok!Ok, let me start with the fact that you should not eat before this tour! Our tour started at noon so we skipped breakfast and by the end of the tour we were absolutely full! The problem was that all of the places we went to had amazing food! I kid you not, all of the food was delicious! Obviously some was better than others but not a bad meal all day. We tried things that we were not familiar with and some things that we have eaten at home - like Pad Thai and bubble drinks. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Chaiya, our tour guide. What a great guy!! He is super friendly and made sure that we were happy with our selections. In some cases we leaned on him to make a selection and he didn’t let us down! In addition to leading us on the food tour he also gave us information about the various sites that we passed. We couldn’t have been happier! I will be suggesting this tour to anyone that is planning a trip to Bangkok.Written 5 January 2025
- Paradise101990218230 contributionsOne day in BangkokThis tour was a fantastic way to experience Bangkok's highlights in a single day. The balance between historical temples, cultural markets, and relaxed moments at cafes and flower markets kept the day interesting without feeling rushed. If you're looking to explore the heart of Bangkok in a short amount of time, this tour is an excellent choice. Highly recommended! Our guide Natty was so knowledgeable, so funny, and the day with her was great!Written 4 January 2025
- adaezgib0 contributionsDisappointing experience, not worth for the moneyWe booked this tour hoping for a unique and enjoyable experience, but unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the worst tours we’ve ever taken. 1. Tour Guide’s Hygiene: The tour guide’s personal hygiene was shockingly poor. The unpleasant body odor and bad breath throughout the day made the experience extremely uncomfortable. 2. “Included Lunch”: The lunch provided was utterly unacceptable. They took us to extremely dirty places where beef, chicken, and fish were kept outside under 32-33°C heat, surrounded by flies and unsanitary conditions. We are no strangers to street food and enjoy it, but this was on another level of unhygienic. We skipped the lunch entirely and ended up starving for the rest of the tour. 3. Itinerary & Value: The itinerary was lackluster. Considering the time spent, they could have easily included more places to visit. I found no added value compared to other Bangkok tours, but this one was priced significantly higher. 4. Tour Guide’s Knowledge: The guide seemed like a walking audio recording, mechanically reciting memorized historical facts. When asked questions, they struggled to understand and needed questions repeated 3-4 times. They clearly memorize historical things in English and when you ask something out of the box, you see they are not there. 5. Tail Boat Payment Scam: We paid 1,500 THB cash for a one-hour long-tail boat during the tour, but later received a payment link asking for an additional 1,500 THB. First I ignored because I tought there is misunderstanding but they claimed the total cost was 3,000 THB, effectively trying to charge us double. Just to make sure I asked to tail boat companies offering longtail boat and 3000 THB price for 2 hours which they charge double the amount. This was outrageous! As someone living in Dubai, I know this is the price of a private yacht per hour in Dubai, and it’s evident either the guide or the company is taking a hefty commission. 6. Customer Service: The only positive aspect was the creation of a WhatsApp group for follow-ups, which other companies don’t usually offer. However, even when we raised our complaints there, the response was dismissive and made us feel unheard. Instead of resolving the issues, they seemed more focused on defending themselves or their guide’s knowledge than addressing our concerns. This tour was overpriced, poorly organized, and filled with unpleasant experiences. I cannot recommend it to anyone. There are plenty of better options in Bangkok, even you can do it by yourself—save your money and look elsewhere!Written 1 January 2025

She was so fluent in english, explained MORE than EVERYTHING very clearly, she was so prepared and funny, caring and she really followed all our requests! She even acted like our Personal photographer! 10000 stars out of 10!Written 30 December 2024

I gave a few background info on myself and did he. It made the tour even better, fun and laughs all that. The Temples were so Majestic and Chaiya educational guide was enlightening to know such history. The food was excellent. The Mango smoothie and the best my favorite red velvet was soooo good.

- Igor A0 contributionsAgain UnforgettableChaiya was amazing during the two days of tours we booked. He was punctual, arriving before the scheduled time, and extremely polite to both me and my wife. He was always very attentive, making sure we were comfortable, asking if we needed water or a bathroom break. He provided us with chilled mineral water throughout the tour and even fresh, moist towels to help us cool off. He took us to the main tourist spots and shared detailed stories about the history of each place, which made the experience even more special. And the photos he took of us? They turned out absolutely stunning! This was our third experience with Forever Vacation, and once again, we were blown away. We can’t praise Chaiya and the whole team enough! Thank you so much for creating such incredible memories for us.Written 8 December 2024
- Karti R0 contributionsAmazing tour and tour guideLoved the tour and our tour guide (Chaiya). He gave us just the right amount of information about the sites we visited. He also managed to capture some amazing pictures and videos. My husband does not do well with pictures being taken of him so this was an amazing feat. If we are ever in Bangkok again, we will definitely want to do another tour with him!Written 4 December 2024

I am a huge fan of the Forever Vacations team as they are just the best. You get super personalized service with awesome tour guides and they take the best photos!!

This is an interesting tour, now mostly geared towards tourists. Our guide took us first to the Maeklong Railway and market. It may have been a passenger train at one time but it is now geared almost exclusively towards the tourists, both on and off the train. The shopkeepers on either side of the train track are used to the drill and they make sure their awnings are put away within minutes of the train arriving and going past them walking on the narrow footpath next to the train track is no mean feat, especially as the area is packed with tourists. Walking on uneven footpath let alone the railway sleepers is challenging to less mobile people. The shops sell the usual kitschy souvenirs and as is common amongst tourists these days fast foods and drinks. The guide then took us to the railway station where the train starts and ends its routine several times a day for the benefit of the tourists. We were then taken to an historic park where Thais used to practice Muay Thai (kick boxing) but it is no longer used for that but just an historic place. There is a small historic temple where you can make some offerings and prayers. Unfortunately there are also some animals in small enclosures who look quite poorly fed and are very skinny. You can buy some feeds for these horses, camels, sheep and goats etc. as well as feed some fish in a nearly canal. We then went to the floating market, again catering to the tourists nowadays. There are almost 2 sections, the first section is more or less on wider canals where “the shops” are spread around and the driver of the boat would slow down to see if we were interested in any of the items there. We are past that age, wanting kitschy souvenirs. We then entered the very narrow canal filled with numerous boats each manoeuvering to squeeze into this narrow canal lined again with food stalls, clothes, souvenirs etc as well as women selling food and fruit in their boats themselves. All in all an artificial view of Thai life style in Bangkok.

We hope the rest of your journey was filled with memorable moments, and we would love to help you plan another more authentic and unique experience next time!

Ying was a great guide, and got us into position to see the vendors around the rail line pull their wares from the path of the train and lift their tarps. Then, once the train passed (inches from us), the tarps went up, the wares were displayed and bargaining continued. The Floating markets are the original markets, and were like entering another world, mystifying and unique.

This was a terrific tour that covered two beautiful temples as well as the railway and floating markets. We loved the pacing of the day and felt like we were able to see a wonderful range of things. In particular, Wat Sam Phran was a unique add-on to the whole experience. Palm was a fantastic guide - he shared so much knowledge with us throughout the day with warmth and kindness. We learned so much and loved spending time with him! Would highly recommend this to anyone who has even just a few days in Bangkok!

I am well travelled and this is the best tour company I have ever used. The communication from all the team was excellent before and after the trip. The car was immaculate, the driver was excellent, very safe and courteous, always opening doors for us and bring cold towels 😊. Our guide Chaiya was also excellent, telling us lots about the history and culture, taking great photos, we paid for nothing, always making sure we had enough drinks in the heat. The tour was great the floating market and train market a must see in Bangkok. Would highly recommend this company, trip and guide Chaiya 😎

Kaew our tour guide was the highlight of our time in Bangkok. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and organized. Honestly we felt like we were being shown around by a long time friend. The transportation was comfortable with AC, cold drinks and wet towels to escape the heat in between excursions . We loved every second of the itinerary it was seamlessly followed by delicious meals which accommodated our allergies. We had great conversation with Kaew translating & teaching us the local tongue, this was by far the best tour we have experienced in Bangkok worth the price as the service was exceptional & felt intimate .

The guide was exceptional in helping my husband who is slightly disabled navigate the obstacles of this trip. He suggested we take the train to the markets. This added a lot to the experience. We loved the vibrancy and cultural variety of the markets. It is a not miss excursion.

Almost immediately after confirmation of tour, a chat group was set up to inform and answer queries. We got a response almost immediately to all questions too, communication was amazing!
Pick up came early, which is nice, VIP small bus provided was really good. Air con was strong, seats comfy, interior v cool with colourful lightz and v clean. Driver Mister Sun was also speedy yet careful.
Our guide Bas is super friendly and considerate of our needs. Helped us to take photos and had great knowledge to answer our questions in every tourist spot. We learnt a lot and made great memories thanks to him.
Our favourite was the floating market where Bas let us try many local dessertz and we had lunch on the boat which was a cool alternative to a normal restaurant lunch. Which was also an option.
Tip from us: wear light coloured clothing. In the afternoon it can get hot when the sun is stronger.
Would highly recommend Forever Vacations as the service provided is great! Thank you Bas and Forevee Vacations team for helping is make some lovely memories!

This tour was the highlight of our trip to Bangkok! The sights were wonderful but the best part of our tour was our guide and companion P.A. P.A. speaks perfect English and is well educated which allowed us to truly communicate and understand each other. He was kind and welcoming. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the places we went and the best ways to navigate them. We learned so much during the tour that really helped us get a much better sense of what we were seeing. We experienced the culture, got some basic insight into Buddhism, and learned about the history of the country and it’s people. He took lots of pictures of us and videos as well so if we didn’t capture the best shots- no worries. He shared several hundred photos with us.
The communication from the company was terrific. Very clear, frequent, and responsive. I would definitely book with this company again, especially if I could get P.A. as a guide.
This tour in particular was a lot of fun. Highlights we the Railway Market, Floating Market, and the Dragon Temple at Wat Samphran (17 story tower with a giant dragon wrapped around the outside of it).
We loved the personal experience of not being in a group. We did a small group tour the day before with a different company and while it was ok my husband and I both agreed we would have gladly paid the difference for a private tour with P.A. had we known how much better an experience it would be. We learned more from P.A. talking with him about the things we had seen the day before than we had learned from the small group tour guide when we were on the tour. Again, the quality of his communication made a tremendous difference in our enjoyment of the tour. You miss so much with tour guides who are only ok speakers of the language.
