Memorable trip to the palace and old temples - Our tour guide Pranee was very nice and told us a lot about the Thai history and culture. She always made sure we all understood what she said. She offered to take pictures for us which will always remind us of the places we visited. Our driver was also very experienced and safely maneuvered us through the crazy Bangkok traffic.

Pros and Cons But Overall Good - The different sites were great to see! We went to many temples and the Bang Pa-In Palace. I wish we had received more information and history about the different places while there. Also, the actually itinerary varied from the one on the website, so I wish we had received an accurate itinerary on the journey. I also wish we had been able to choose where to eat for lunch instead of being taken to only one restaurant without a choice. Overall, though, the experience of seeing the old temples and learning a little bit about their history was an enjoyable experience.
