Easy to redeem. Bought on klook at 12pm and managed to do the massage at 2pm. Place was modern and clean with relaxing ambience. Easy to find too. Massage therapist was professional and regularly checked in during the session to ask if the pressure was ok. Enjoyed my 90 min session overall!

Located in the heart of the city, this beautiful and clean accommodation offers a BTS shuttle service. It's a little on the pricey side.

This by far is the best tour i’ve experienced eversince traveling in 2016. Our tour guide Nicky was very good at her job and tasks. She shared her knowledge towards Thailand history and culture with energy and enthusiasm. This lady deserves a raise and I’m sure she will become very successful! Thank you Nicky 🤍

This was a fun tour. Our tourist guide was great. I forgot her name though. She speaks 3 languages. English, Chinese, and Nihongo. She really took the time to translate all the instructions and details for the Chinese and Japanese tourists. she also took our pictures and brought us to Venice Restaurant in Ayuttaya. The food was amazing. I really love Thai food. We enjoyed our lunch after hours in the sun taking pictures and exploring the temples. This tour is definitely a must try when you visit Bangkok.

More impressive than expected! The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was simple but delicious, and they had an evening buffet like rice porridge. The male staff member at the stir-fry station provided excellent service.
