Tour companies for Bangkok

We are sailing Singapore to Hong Kong stopping at Bangkok on Voyager of the Seas in June. We feel the ship tours are very expensive and wonder if anyone can recommend a reasonably priced tour company who could pick us up at the port and give us a tour of Bangkok?

Thanks

We used BKK tours in Bangkok in November. They picked us up at Laem Chaeng and gave us a great tour. They recommended a convenient hotel where we stayed overnight. They then picked us up the next morning and continued our tour. We got back to the ship in plenty of time in spite of Bangkok's terrible traffic. Lunches were included on both days. Ms. Air was our guide and she was wonderful.

Thanks for your response. If we don't do an overnight stay is it really worth a day visit to Bangkok?

Bangkok is a city of vast contrasts. The Grounds of the Royal Palace are amazing but there is also a lot of poverty. If your ship overnights in Bangkok I would recommend that. However, if you only have one day, the trip from the pier to the city and back can take 4-5 hours and you will be worried about a departing ship. The time the ship is scheduled to arrive and depart should help you make your decision.

Hi if you do have the time a trip into Bangkok is really worth the effort. The Grand Palace is a stunning place to visit, amazing buildings and statues. We can recommend Wandee who we have hired in the past. She is very reliable and arranges good quality tours, her e mail is wandee@wandeetours.com

Last December we had a great tour by Sasa. She was recommanded to us by another CC-er who was also very happy with her. Nice friendly lady with good knowledge.

You can contact her on: natadeee@windowslive.com

We did the Ayathula tour with Ms Air of BKK- the absolute best guide anywhere. Some people touringeith us went back to Bangkok for the night and toured the next day.

Everyones who used BKK was tbrilled with them.

We Also used Wandee. She met us at the airport and gave us orientation. The next 3 days which we had picked from her website and then personalized was guided by Phan. Highly recommend

Also had Ms Air from BKK and stayed over night in Bangkok - had a fantastic time touring for the 2 days. We'd have been really disappointed to have missed the railway and floating markets on the second day. We said we'd love to go back and take another tour with BKK - Ms Air recommended some brilliant alternatives for our next visit :).

We just returned from a 16 day Singapore to Hong Kong cruise on Oceania. I organized private tours for almost every port except a day trip to Hanoi. We took some of the tours with 2-3 couples we met on cruise critic and had a blast. EVERY single tour was perfect which is a rare occurrence. Don’t know what your exact itinerary is but we visited Singapore, Koh Samui, Bangkok, Cambodia, multiple ports in Vietnam and HK. I’m happy to share details. I just posted about our tour in Koh Samui and will be posting about each tour this week.

Singapore - hop on, hop off bus; plus visit to Long Bar for a Singapore Sling at Raffles, lunch in the courtyard at Raffles.

Bangkok - Tours with Tong - she takes a while to respond but 2 days of great tours; one in the city and one to train and floating markets which was a great experience.

Sihanoukville - tuktuk tour; not a lot to see but it was worth the price

Saigon - book early as he’s a one man show - Zoom - excellent 2 day tour - city tour and amazing Mekong Delta tour - fantastic lunches included

Hue/Da Nang - loved the tour guide - My Son Land and walked around Hoi An - a perfect day - Tommy Tours

Ha Long Bay - private junk boat tour to Sung Sot caves - a not to miss experience - one of the 7 natural wonders of the world - a great day

Hanoi - ship’s tour; it’s too far to go on your own; our bus arrived over an hour late because of traffic but ship had to wait since it was a ship tour

Hong Kong - hop on hop off bus; stayed at Island Shangri La Hotel - a perfect ending to a perfect cruise.

Hi Cruisin,

How did you like Nautica? we are scheduled to do Bangkok to Mumbi on Nautica and I would really be interested in your tour guides and tours in Ko Samui, Singapore and Bangkok.

Thanks,

Judy
