Also, our driver was amazing at navigating the Bangkok traffic. Appreciated the great communication from Oriental Escape. It made me feel secure that we were going to have a great day."

Susan - Thailand - 2025-07-01

"This was my parents’ first trip to Thailand, even though I’ve visited several times before. We had dreamed of seeing the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, and it was even more beautiful than we imagined. I booked the private tour so my elderly parents could enjoy everything at a comfortable pace. The guide was calm, patient, and never rushed us. The van was brand new, spacious, and equipped with umbrellas and a wheelchair (which we used for free!). Booking this kind of private service made everything so much easier for my parents — they felt relaxed the whole time. Thank you to our lovely guide and kind driver for making this such a memorable day!"
