Full description

This is a experience from Pattaya, built around Bang Pa-In Royal Palace, Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon and Wat Maha That. It is run by Pattaya Guide Travel, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.

The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off in Pattaya, Air-conditioned van transport, English or Russian speaking guide, Thai lunch at a local restaurant and Entrance fees to Bang Pa-In Royal Palace, Wat Yai Chai. It does not cover Personal expenses, Alcoholic beverages and Gratuities, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Pattaya City. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Pattaya Guide Travel before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The tour was excellent, our guide Nick is very attentive, friendly and polite. He gave us a review and history of every place we visited. It was a wonderful experience. We went up to the 78th floor for dinner and seeing the city is beautiful. In case everything is worthwhile and the guide speaks Russian and English, very nice and I appreciate, he works attending his group in two languages. I recommend it one hundred percent.
