The Ancient City is enormous with plenty to explore! On the other hand, the Erawan Museum felt somewhat disappointing since the main highlight is mainly the three-headed elephant structure. Since the tour includes both sites, it's still worthwhile, but the overall cost felt a bit high, especially since additional fees apply for extras.

The tour mainly covers transportation, and entrance fees must be paid separately. However, if I had to pick the highlight of Bangkok, it would be the Ancient City — it's unique and truly beautiful. Be sure to bring a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water, as the sun can be quite intense.

Right after booking, Travel Thailand With Us contacted me to confirm pickup time, tour length, and temple dress code. On the day, my driver Karnsaranphat arrived early in a clean, air-conditioned car. She took care of tickets, lunch, and drove me around Muang Boran comfortably. During the trip, she checked in often and shared lots of interesting information about the culture and history. This was the best tour of my 10-day trip to Thailand, and I'm definitely coming back for more.
Helpful? Yes
We made a last-minute booking, and everything was organized quickly and smoothly. The Ancient City is truly impressive, with plenty to explore and discover. On a hot day, renting a golf cart was a great choice, though you could also opt for a bike to cover the 22 km. Overall, a very good experience, though a bit more shade would have made it even better.
