We arrived at the meeting place almost 20 minutes late because we went into the wrong tunnel. We were grateful to our Klook guide, Tom, for being patient, as well as to the other tourists in the group. Overall, the tour was great and we gained interesting stories from the guide, who was very accommodating and brilliant. Highly recommended for first-timers in Bangkok.

Buying a one-day ticket at klook is convenient and saves money, and now klook’s service counter has been moved to the entry level on the 2nd floor, which is much more convenient!

The first time I participated in this kind of event, since it was a Chinese tutor, it was very easy and convenient in class and communication. The tutor was friendly and would tell us relevant stories to let us understand the meaning behind the food.

We enjoyed our time at the Meridian. All of the staff were wonderful and efficient. Our table was on the bottom floor in the middle, close to the start of the buffet, and we had the window seats which made it great. The only complaint that I have is the A/C does not reach our area. My family and I were hot and using our portable fan to keep cool. Overall, we came to celebrate my sister's birthday. The birthday cake was delicious and the awesome service met our expectations. We had a blast and the music was great at the last hour. It kind of sucked to leave once the party just started.
