We took the Bangkok Wat Pho and Wat Arunhalf day walking tour with Mr. Tee today and it was the absolute highlight of our trip! we love him. Mr. Tee was incredibly knowledgeable about temples and monks and made the history come alive with great storytelling. We especially loved how he brought us to hidden corners of the locations. He went above and beyond by helping us taking great photos and recommending restaurants and mode of transport. he is also very Jolly person and hard not to love him. Highly recommended!"

I arrived on time for appointment time. Staff were ready. Spoke a little bit of English. I headed upstairs to change and the ladies were very quick. I just couldn't go into the Grand Palace, had no long sleeves. So just a tip for the Grand Palace

We toured with the amazing Ying today, she took care of everyone and gave us options along the way. We were well informed about what we were seeing and Ying showed genuine interest in the group. Ying readily offeeed to take photos of us as we went along in key areas and she knew the right angles. We also had time to take our own as well as time to immerse into the atmosphere

Had an amazing dinner cruise. A bit many people tho but all in all I’ve enjoyed it. Food was amazing and service was fast and very approachable. Just sad they have to move me to a different table because the table I was sitting on was good for 2 adults ;((.

It was a very good experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took us to Wat Pho, then ferry ride to Wat Arun, tuktuk ride to Chinatown where we enjoyed delicious food at a local restaurant. Our guide left only after we got into a taxi. I recommend our guide, he was very good.

I had a great experience on the Hop-On Hop-Off tour in Bangkok. It was such a convenient and stress-free way to explore the city, especially for a first-time visitor. The stops were well-organized and covered all the major attractions, making it easy to hop off, explore, and continue the journey at my own pace. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall service was smooth and reliable. I also enjoyed the views from the top deck, perfect for photos! Highly recommended for anyone wanting to see Bangkok comfortably and efficiently.

The Klook day tours I've joined so far have never disappointed. This time, our tour guide Thana was extremely attentive, preparing water and small snacks for every member. During the bus ride, he also explained Thai culture and the main buildings we passed along the way. Although lunch was not included in the tour price, the guide reserved a restaurant for us in advance (saving everyone the time of searching everywhere for seats in a crowded tourist spot). Despite unfortunately running into all-day heavy rain, the guide still professionally led us through the entire itinerary and did his best to take great photos for everyone despite the weather. If you want to experience wearing traditional Thai attire, the guide can also help arrange it (at your own expense). Quick tips: 1. There is a dress code for entering the Grand Palace—short skirts, shorts, ripped jeans, etc., are not allowed, so you will need to buy a pair of pants or a skirt outside (around 200 Thai Baht). 2. You need to take off your shoes to enter both the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, so it is recommended to wear shoes that are easy to slip on and off (rain makes things a bit tougher, so bringing an extra pair of socks to change into is advised).

Klook Pass Bangkok & Pattaya is so easy to use and redeem! I used it for the dinner cruise and Jurassic World. Very convenient and worth it!
