Rare MVPinBoynton Posted June 24, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 24, 2012 We will be in Bangkok the end of Nov. and need guides for 2 days. Has anyone used Bangkok Day Tours or do you have any other suggestions? We loved Tong, but some people have had issues communicating with her. It was probably the best and most fun 2 days of tours we have ever had. You can see what we did when in Bangkok in our review on our website www.thepreismans.com. There are lots of photos of some great places to visit in the review. Have a great time on your trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickypicky Posted June 28, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I agree with Mike...Tong was great,, but sometimes communication was slow. However, we started planning months ahead and were rewarded with a very thoughtful and insightful guide, Jerry, and an immaculate late model vehicle with a driver who dropped us off and picked us up at all the sights, saving valuable time walking/waiting. Jerry obviously loves his country and his job, and was a wonderful teacher and guide. We loved our Asia trip and Tours with Tong, and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Bowie MeMe Posted June 29, 2012 #5 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I won't get back to US until Nov. 5 but I have chosen to use Wandee for a private guide and driver service for 5 days in Oct. You can see the tours that she offers at Wandeetours.com but she has been excellent about communicating and making out trip exactly to our liking. She also suggested flights and hotels but we preferred to use loyalty points and she was fine with that. Contact Wandee@wandeetours.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted June 29, 2012 #6 Share Posted June 29, 2012 If you have a TA, have them look at A&K for you. We used them in Bangkok and several other places in Asia a few months ago and they were simply terrific. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emdee Posted June 29, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Another vote for Tong. She is so much fun. Her husband is also an optician so we were able to get very nice specs quite reasonably and she dropped them off at our hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexfolkart Posted July 4, 2012 #9 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Will these guides pick you up IN Bangkok and also at the ship? We have 2 days to work out.. Thanks, Sherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yenta Posted July 4, 2012 Author #10 Share Posted July 4, 2012 We are using Bangkok day tour. We are using them from our hotel only, but I'm sure arrangements can be made for transfer to the port. They have been very prompt in answering all my emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie MeMe Posted July 5, 2012 #11 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Will these guides pick you up IN Bangkok and also at the ship? We have 2 days to work out..Thanks, Sherry Wandee does meet at airport and she is doing a 1/2 day tour and drop off at the Diamond Princess for our cruise. We have 5 nights in Bangkok with Wandee before our cruise. Wandee@ Wandee.com is contact and her website gives lots of options for tours. We decided to plan our own tours and she was excellent in tailoring things to our liking. I will report back after our trip in Oct. 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayjoens Posted October 29, 2012 #12 Share Posted October 29, 2012 After a horrible experience trying to communicate with Tong, who was working on building a new house at the time, we went with Bangkok Day Tour for our two days in Bangkok in June, including transfers from and back to the airport. Their communication was fairly quick (although not like the European tour guides who usually reply within 24 hours), patient and accurate. We had a couple of great days with Nina who was accommodating and fun. I would definitely use them again and recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooManyBags Posted November 5, 2012 #13 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hi we can recommend Wandee for tours in Bangkok and surronding area. We have had some very interesing tours with her in the city and Kanchanaburi. Great guide reliable and fun to be. Her website has some tours on offer but she will custom to what her guest wants to see and do Very proud of her country and delights in sharing with us . Always seems very relaxed in whatever party size she has, Never let us down over a couple of visits. Contact is if you want to make contact is wandee@wandeetours.com Anywayall please have a good trip to wonderful Thailaland. If you are in town for a couple of days well worth considering a City Hotel stay, Do consider a dinner cruise- it is truly wonderful, if you have time check out Wat Tham Khoa Noi and Wat Thma Sua a couple of amazing temples in Kanchanaburi.
