A great Bangkok experience! Highly recommended!
Tour Guide:
At first, I thought the guide only spoke English and Thai, but it turns out she spoke a little Chinese! Very impressive!
Meals:
My experience this time was lunch. Since I can't eat very spicy food, I noted from the beginning that I couldn't eat spicy dishes. The team thoughtfully replaced one of the main courses, green curry, with a non-spicy stew for me. Other dishes, like the first main course, the soup pho, were delicious. The broth was very flavorful, and it had vegetables and meat. I truly drank every last drop of soup; the pad Thai was also very well-coated with sauce, and the shrimp were fresh and tasty! The final mango sticky rice is also not to be missed; the mango was very sweet!
Drinks:
There were no alcoholic beverages on the bus. They provided free water throughout the trip, and there was an initial welcome drink. At first, I thought it was some kind of medicinal drink, but it was a very refreshing lime juice. Finally, there was a cup of hot coffee or hot tea. I chose the hot tea because they mentioned it had a caramel aroma, and it really did have a hint of caramel, which was very special. I even wanted another cup🤣 As for other drinks, like Coke, you have to pay extra, starting from around 50 baht.
Itinerary:
Basically, it goes to nearby tourist attractions, such as the Grand Palace, Chinatown, etc. Since you eat while listening to the commentary, you have to pay attention to the guide's words while eating. However, they also provide about 10 minutes of rest time (after the second main course) for you to digest and slowly finish your meal. Value for Money: Overall, I think it was very worthwhile, mainly because I didn't have much idea where to go sightseeing, and this sightseeing bus allowed me to eat and learn about Bangkok's tourist attractions at the same time, which was a very comfortable experience. I hope to experience dinner sometime; I heard that dinner allows you to see the moment Bangkok transitions from day to night, which should also be good.
