We had so much fun with Tom in Bangkok. Not only did he know the all the must sees very well, he is also the expert on getting us around in such an efficient way. He even went above and beyond to help us plan our future day trip. We had a dinner cruise that evening, Tom stayed with us and made sure we get our pick up confirmed. Thanks Tom!!
