I truly appreciated your professional, informative and enjoyable tour in Thailand. I wish we had had more time in your beautiful country but you did give us a day we will never forget.
Although my group of six senior citizens was not always the easiest to deal with, I feel you went above and beyond our expectations and provided us with special amenities we did not experience on any of our other tours in Asia.
The little brass elephants are a special treasure that I have not been able to shore with my grandchildren and the flowers you provided were a lovely touch. The iced water bottles and the cooling face towels were such a considerate and welcome addition to tour day and I especially loved tasting some fruits I had never seen in our markets at home. You gave us unique fruit juice drinks and you handled all the small expenses in such a professional way that the tour flowed smoothly and we were able to see as much as our time allowed. I truly enjoyed the Thai phrases and the explanation of the Spirit Houses and other aspects of your unique culture.
I would highly recommend you to anyone wishing to have a wonderful private tour in Thailand. You were the most professional and considerate tour guide we had in all of the Asian Countries we visited and the fact that you speak English Beautifully helped us to understand everything you taught us. Everyone was impressed by you. Your love of your country was evident by how you conducted our tour.
Thank you so very much for such a memorable experience. I also want to thank you for making it possible for me to purchase my Thai ruby ring. It is the July Birthstone. I have not taken it off since returning home – a considerable expense, but something beautiful to remind me of my visit to Thailand
Sawasdee Ka… My husband, Tony, and I arrived in Bangkok after a 24 day cruise with Seabourn to celebrate our 40th anniversary. We could not have been more spoiled by the great service on board this magnificent cruise line until we arrived in Bangkok to see Chob Panma’s smiling face waiting for us at the dock at the Klong Toey Port. We joined Chob with new cruise friends who were originally from Russia and planned our four days in Bangkok. Our friends had researched a guide and Chob was immediately responsive…everything was clear, simple, no extra charges to meet us at the port. We sent a “wish” list and he met us with a beautiful ring of flowers for each of us and a complete itinerary and a tiny set of precious brass elephants in the red case to wish us happiness and luck. Everything including dress codes were completely spelled out for us. His van was roomy, cool and very comfortable. His driver was delightful and took every care with our safety. We hit the road running and visited The Royal Grand Palace and The Royal Temple. We saw the Royal Temple (Wat Phra Kaew), The Temple of the Reclining Buddha, the Golden Chedi, Pantheon of the Chakri’s Kings and a miniature replica of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, the Coronation Throne Hall and the Royal Reception Hall. Our hearts and mouths were open with joy and the opportunity to see such beauty, culture and tradition. After a fabulous lunch on the river…we asked Chob to order for all of us…what a feast…delicious…we took a Canal Tour in a long tail boat along the Chao Phraya River and the smaller canals (Klongs) enjoying the temples and homes on these canals. He delivered us to our hotel by boat.
The next day, Chob customized the day for us again. Our friends wanted to shop and go to a Thai tailor…we did too. Chob took us to a very reputable tailor and all four of us spent the morning picking our fabrics and working with these talented professionals. We actually went back at 5 that evening to have our first fitting. All pieces were exquisite and arrived safely at our door step.
We went directly to Jim Thompson’s home for a tour and an elegant luncheon…again Chob accommodated our request that he select our dishes…unbelievably delicious. This charming man is so knowledgeable, proud and passionate about his country’s history, customs and current life…his English is impeccable and paired with a mega watt smile, charming manners, an incredible sense of humor and intriguing stories we were constantly and graciously entertained. It was SO hot and humid and he made sure we had lots of ice cold water and “frozen” washcloths to refresh up when we came back to the van. We then were taking to the MKB Shopping Center to shop for bargains…floor after floor…mind boggling. We were once again safely delivered back to our hotels and looked forward to our next day’s adventure. As always, he arrived right on time the next day. We traveled to see the King’s Summer Palace and Ayutthaya…I’ve traveled all my life, but this incredible site, (built in the 1600’s) is out of this world. Again, this remarkable man had all the stories to share with us including a wonderful book showing the ruins as they are today and as they were before the jungle swallowed them. There was also an incredible temple on site that is still in use. The peoples’ market leading to Ayutthaya was the most fascinating I have ever seen…two foot high pyramid type displays of fish skeletons, fried fish skins, eels swimming in containers, vats of oil with a rice type pancake being fried then topped with peanuts and sugar…truly to die for and Chob picked out a few of these delicacies for us to try…no we didn’t get sick…we trusted him to take very good care of us. He even helped me achieve my “bucket list” and ride an elephant. My husband and I will return to Thailand and Chob someday soon…Thailand was our very favorite place on this magical adventure of ours and most of the credit goes to Chob Panma. The smallest detail seemed to be effortless for him to provide for our enjoyment. He prepared a folder for all of us with our itineraries along with useful information about restaurants, where to go for tea, shows to see, warnings about possible scams, massage and spa opportunities and shopping areas. This man is a delight and a keeper. We will keep him in our hearts forever and hope he will come and visit/stay in our home the next time he travels to the United States. We only scratched the surface of this incredible country and it’s kind, compassionate and wonderful people. I am a professional painter/artist and part owner of Lowcountry Artists, Ltd., in Charleston, SC. My head and heart are so full of ideas to paint, that it will last me a lifetime. Khob Khun Ka…
Seabourn Cruise We spent over a month traveling through Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam & Thailand. Went on a number of tours, sometimes private, other with groups. Some guides were good some worse, but none came close to Chob. He is professional, courteous, very knowledgeable.
From the moment he picked us up at the pier at 8:30 am 3 days were filled with his “magic” touch and packed with so much of wonderful discovery of Bangkok and its surroundings, shopping, dining, etc… enough for a week. His knowledge of history, past and recent is incredible, in perfect English mixed with good sense of humor.
And his driver was always ready with cold towels and bottles of water so that the hot weather wouldn’t interfere with our sightseeing.
Saul Segal : USA + England + AustraliaThe Clueless Traveler Gang hebrewlovegod@gmail.com Asuka II Cruise We were attempting to take a group of nine people from the Cruise Ship Terminal in Laem Chabang for an exciting 24hrs in Bangkok. Chob provided an excellent itinerary which included The Royal Temple and Palace and a Canal Tour.
He also helped us enjoy the real thai experience by booking us theatre tickets, arranging our reservations for dinner and booking us in for a traditional thai massage. He literally did anything and everything we asked of him. He even arranged a personally inscribed birthday cake for our dinner party!!
We couldn't recommend him enough to anyone who is planning a trip to Bangkok. He is truly the best.
Allan & Debra + Mitchell Coleman : USA adcoleman3@verizon.net Ocean Princess Cruise
Our family would like to thank you for arranging an exciting two day adventure in Bangkok. Our guide Ms. Pu and van driver Mr. Korn met us with smiles at the cruise terminal at Laem Chabang and off we went on our whirlwind tour.
Being the Kings birthday added a bit of wild chaos as we had to maneuver about the crowed streets lined with Thai people dressed in pink. The temples were beautiful and we enjoyed the long tail boat ride on the river. The tuk tuk ride through the jammed traffic was crazy and the watermelon freezes at lunch were so refreshing on a hot December day.
The evening Siam Niramit show was one of the best productions we have ever seen. Ms. Pu got us to our hotel that evening and early the next morning we were off to the railway market and floating market to experience more exciting Thai culture and food.
We arrived back to the Ocean Princess later that afternoon as we sadly had to leave Bangkok and two new friends. Our family has travelled extensively around the world and we would highly recommend
Thai Tour Guide, Chob responded almost immediately with the many questions we had prior to our trip.We saw everything that was promised and so much more. It was a perfect two days.
My wife and I wanted to personally thank you for the informative and personalized tour you provided during our short, 3 day stay in Bangkok. Both you and Pu have provided an unforgettable experience.
After exchanging a few emails you were able to put together a custom tour of the major sites we wanted to see, and others we didn't even know about. Through your expertise, a unique combination of temples, markets, sights, and experiences was provided us, resulted in an outstanding traveler's experience.
Also, I want to express our appreciation for the helpful, and gregarious style you have in helping us appreciate the Thai culture. We have left your country not only with the sights, sounds and flavor of Thailand, but with a better understanding of its people and history.
I would not hesitate to recommend you and your company to anyone visiting Thailand, who wants to maximize their experience and time there.
We want to thank you for being so wonderful. Your personality, expertise and professionalism made everything go smoothly & added an extra touch.
I would certainly recommend you highly to anyone & if ever in need of a reference please do not hesitate in using me. We loved Bangkok & hopefully one day will return to Thailand to see more. YOU WERE GREAT!!!!!
Diamond Princess Cruise What a great time Julie and I had in Bangkok. We have you and Pu to thank for that. If you need a reference we are more than happy to be one. Your flexibility and attention to details was most impressive.
There is no way that we would have seen the sites we saw with you on our own. We appreciated your suggestions and your selecting some of the local food favorites to taste. By the way we did eat at the restaurant you suggested on our last night and we did have the sticky rice and mango -- what a treat!!!!
Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines China, Vietnam, Singapore, Japan, Cambodia and Thailand- a trip of a lifetime, but our most memorable experiences were in Bangkok, Thailand thanks to Chob, our tour guide and friend.
Chob is not only knowledgeable in the history and culture of Thailand, but friendly, warm and welcoming. He took us to the best spots, and provided us a memorable time.
Thanks to Chob and his wonderful driver who left us eager to return to Bangkok! We highly recommend him!
Dr. Irving & Carol Burstein : Montreal - Canada irvb@videotron.ca Diamond Princess Cruise
Had a wonderful weekend in Bangkok. Chob and his driver picked us up from the cruise port promptly as arranged and we spent the next two days getting a good taste of the city, before leaving at 5:00 am to go to the airport.
The itinerary he suggested was ideal since this was our first trip to Bangkok. His large air conditioned van was spotless, communication was great and he was a pleasure to deal with.
Dr. Michael & Jan Cruise : Florida - USA jancruise99@hotmail.com Crystal Cruise We all hope you are well. I cannot believe our vacation went so fast. I truly want to thank you for taking us on a wonderful guided tour through Bangkok. From the time you picked us up at the port it was so evident that you had spent time organizing the tour you had prepared for us. Everything was written out so clearly yet you were so flexible to our needs.
Your explanation throughout the tours was great, and the driver was very competent and took us safely around.
We cannot begin to thank you enough for the wonderful experience we had in your city. Your PATIENCE is unbelievable and I am most grateful for that, you seemed to have quite easily understood the needs of each of the four of us in the group.
I cannot wait to recommend your services to any of my friends visiting Bangkok in the future. Please feel free to use us as a reference if you should need to.
The vote was taken among our group and the decision was unanimous—10 to 0—you were our favorite and most competent guide in all of Southeast Asia.
From myself and all the “Merry Meanders” thank you for two wonderful days this past January (2009) in Bangkok.
Thank you for being so accommodating, so friendly and so knowledgeable. Any foreign tourist would be lucky to be able to engage your services as I hope to when I return to Thailand for a more in depth look sometime in the not too distant future.
