Guide

Our tour guides/drivers are licensed, speak English and know how to bring excitement to your day. What we deliver is the complete opposite of the cookie-cutting tours the big corporations offer, leaving you in complete boredom. Although our tour guides/drivers are attentive, accommodating, and engaged, they also know when to give you your private space and free time. It’s a perfect balance. *Female guides are available upon request. Note that zip-lining in a rainforest called Flight of the Gibbon and the daytrip to Doi Inthanon National Park are shared with other travelers. The rest of the tour is exclusive to you and whomever else you may book on behalf of.

Accommodation

Below are the names of the hotels where we commonly have our customers stay. Note this is subject to availability. Nights 1-4: Chiang Mai, Preferred Accommodation: Lanna Thaphae Hotel Night 5: Sukhothai Historical Park area, Preferred Accommodation: Foresto Sukhothai Nights 6-9: Bangkok (lodge near Khao San Road orSoi Rambuttri), Preferred Accommodation: Prince Palace Hotel This tour includes lodging for 1 night, specifically in Sukhothai. However, upon request, we can book accommodation for you for all nights at establishments which meet your needs. For years, we automatically included 5-star hotels in our travel packages. In the interest of our customers, we ultimately decided to reduce the price of our tours and encourage specifically those with higher expectations to simply request room upgrades. Why? Some of our customers want simple and clean but ultimately cheap rooms. Some of our customers want 4-star hotels and are willing to pay more. Others want nothing short of 5-star extravagance. There isn’t a way to uphold ONE standard for hotels in our travel packages considering everyone has a different budget. What we CAN uphold are the standard and quality of our tours, all of which offer nothing short of a first-class experience. Again, upon request, we can upgrade your room type for the night included as well as book lodging for all nights on this tour. Let us know and we will provide you with pricing options.

It was captured by the Burmese in 1569. Though not pillaged, Ayutthaya lost many valuable and artistic objects. Ayutthaya was the capital of Thailand until its destruction by the Burmese Army in 1767. In 1969, the Fine Arts Department began renovations of the ruins. These renovations became more of a priority after Ayutthaya was declared a historical park in 1976. A part of the park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991.

We leave Ayutthaya late afternoon and are taken back to Bangkok, specifically to a thoroughfare called Sukhumvit Road. In this area, we are provided with a guided tour. Sukhumvit Road features clubs, bars and famous red-light districts. Due to traffic, we are dropped off near to Nana Plaza. After checking it out, we take the Bangkok Mass Transit System (a.k.a. BTS Skytrain) to reach another famous red-light district called Soi Cowboy. The BTS Skytrain is then used to visit Thong Lor (a.k.a. Soi Sukhumvit 55). We are picked up in Thong Lor and are then driven to Ekkamai (a.k.a. Soi Sukhumvit 63). Ekkamai is a road filled with restaurants, cafés, pubs and bars. We then head back to our hotel.
