Testimonial

A traveler NEEDS a guide like Chris in Bangkok. This is a massively congested and complex city; a guide is necessary to get you to its treasures without getting trapped in traffic or lame tourist traps like Asiatique.

We were attending an Indian wedding and had very limited time to explore Bangkok. Time was at a premium, and the pressure was on Chris to pack a LOT of experience with a minimum of the usual dreary tourist business of waiting and frustration.

Chris delivered.

We learned a tremendous amount about Thai culture at our own pace; she knew when to talk and when to let us absorb what we were seeing. Chris expertly navigated water taxis, tuk tuks, got us past huge lines at temples, led us to tiny hole in the- wall restaurants which were SUPERB… while our friends made do with wedding guest tours.

They were hot and bored and mired in traffic for hours while we zipped through a private canal tour on our own teak boat, changing our itinerary at a moment’s notice.

We got to see glimpses of the real Bangkok beyond the sanitized precinct of our hotel.
It was wonderful, and simply not possible without our guide.

The fees are worth it. Don’t take on Bangkok without an efficient and passionate guide like Chris.

We arrived in Bangkok on Monday and booked a two day tour with guide Chris. First day was touring three temples, Grand Palace, flower market, canal tour, and Chinatown. The second day was suppose to be Ayutthaya but my husband and I changed our minds because it was really far for us. Instead, we did the floating market, train market, elephant camp and feeding a small tiger.

Both days, Chris was on time and waiting for us in the lobby. She is very nice, speaks very good English, and is very sweet, considerate, and flexible. I am so happy we got an amazing host. We got to take the train, Tuk Tuk, taxi and boat all around the city.

During the tour, we changed our minds a few times and she was very flexible. I am so glad we got to see the train market and floating market instead of Ayutthaya. The van ride was approx. 1 hour, traffic was good. Van was air conditioned, very clean, and always had water stocked. The animals at the elephant camp didn’t looked drugged and ours didn’t have a chain around him The tiger place is a rescue place and the place looked very clean and animals looked like they were well taken care of. Chris did volunteer work for SPCA international and she said the animals here were taken care of better than most places in Thailand.

Both days we had to end our tour almost an hour early because my husband and I were so jet lagged , we wanted to go back to the hotel and rest for a few but we got to see so much and saw everything we wanted to see. My husband and I went at a faster pace as far as sightseeing and going place to place and Chris told us to take as much time as we need and she was our host so if we needed more time that she didn’t want us to feel rushed.

Reading different tours, I think they say this is slightly more expensive compared to other tours but it was worth every dollar! Or baht haha.

The communication prior to the tour was excellent and they were always prompt with replies and emails. Very professional

Thank you so much Chris!

Very comfortable and very interesting.

With a tour like this you avoid many tourist traps and in the end it is not very expensive.

We booked a second tour right away.

Very reliable and transparent service from booking to “delivery”.

We booked two tours and the airport transfers with Your Thai Guide.

My flight to Bangkok had been canceled and I was rebooked on a different plane hours later, so I had to get in touch with Primm per mail several times that day to reorganize the pick up. With a few mails everything was adjusted and upon arrival the driver was waiting as agreed.

Perfect.

So was our tour guide Chris. On the Bangkok tour with public transport she picked a good mix of sky train, boat and tuk-tuks, got us all the entry tickets quickly by bypassing the cues and all the sights we visited were explained in as much detail as we liked.

On our second tour to Ayutthaya we went with her and a driver and it worked the same. What I really appreciated was that she didn’t rush us where we wanted to spend a few more minutes and didn’t make us spend time at things which were not our cup of tea.

On top she picked very nice, good value for money restaurants which is not always a given for tour guides (restaurant head hunting fee). Chris was great with my two teenage kids and felt when it was just enough for them.

Her English language skills were excellent as she spent some time abroad. What could be improved were her photography skills, but just take a few more pictures and this should really not stop you from booking Your Thai Guide and Chris.

I would book her again anytime.
