a well-organized tour led by EN guide Evelyn and CN guide Keng, bringing us to IG-worthy cafes in Bangkok! both guides were very friendly, offered help and ensured everyone had taken sufficient pictures in each cafe, and even treated us some local snacks! although the tour may seem packed, there’s still enough time for food and picture taking, and we didn’t feel rushed. well worth the price!

The tour guide kiki is very good. There are professional explanations, good shooting skills, and they will try their best to help all the group members. Although there will be traffic jams in Bangkok by car, the return journey takes 3 hours, so be mentally prepared.

We really enjoyed our experience in Thailand, everything was scheduled and organized, even the cafe booking. Our tour guide - her name is “Fern” was very accomodating and takes really good picture. She’s so informative and fun to be with. Highly recommend as a tour guide.

This itinerary is a little rushed because there are five places. But fortunately, we met a great tour guide who was very attentive and helped us take many beautiful photos. The service was attentive throughout the entire process, so 5 stars are given to her. The bubble restaurant is a bit special, but it is really suitable for taking photos. The surrounding environment of MOOYOOROSE HOUSE is also great, but after four trips, I was a bit full after eating too much and drinking too much.
