Olddaddy Posted September 10 Posted September 10 Quick question maybe those who have experienced Siam Roads tours or Moses himself If I hire a tour guide from the Bangkok range where do they usually take you to? I see they have 3 guides in Bangkok I guess the first question they ask is what would you like to see on the night tour or day tour I'm not really keen on visiting boy bars or Go Go bars with a guide at night ,maybe a disco or nightclub ?

Moses Posted September 10 Posted September 10 Siamroads offers personal tailored tours. So guide will ask what are your interests and if you have ideas to where to go already. Some people are in nightlife, while other are in eating or visiting night markets or river cruises. Bangkok has a lot to offer... Olddaddy and jamiebee 2 Quote

I want to go to the floating market and a boat on the river Boat on the river? Here's the inexpensive option. Take the BTS to Saphan Taksin, walk down to Sathon pier. Take a north-bound Chao Phraya Express boat (the ordinary orange-flagged one, not the tourist boat!), to the end of the line at Nonthaburi. Tickets are fixed-fare 16B per person. Have seafood lunch at a riverside restaurant, and enjoy some durian. Then reverse the process. Olddaddy, khaolakguy, vinapu and 1 other 4 Quote

Chaerimk Posted September 21 Posted September 21 sorry to hijack your post but are you having any communication issues with siamroads? I am trying to confirm 2 dates that I booked with Mac but only got 1 confirmation. The site customer service have not replied to my inquiry, and that is 4 days ago. Olddaddy 1 Quote
sudoxi Posted September 21 Posted September 21 I had some communication issues with a recent booking with Mac. Seems to,be resolved now, I had no issues with getting replies from siamroads directly Quote

Siamroads reply within next 12 hours, typically within next 1-2 hours if you send message btw noon and midnight by Bangkok time. Check your spam folder and check if your mailbox isn't full. I see all incoming mails and all replies and in whole 2024 year I see no one email what was left not replied. Typical reasons for not to get reply: mistyping in your mail address to reply your mailbox is within gmx.de domain (by some reason it decline emails from SiamRoads, everything is OK on our site, on the side of gmx.de they can't find problem already 7 years). Siamroads warns all senders about that directly above messaging form. our reply is in your spam folder your mailbox is full and server doesn't accept new emails If you will send me details of your email in PM I may check it more close. In whole September I see only one mail reply what for sure wasn't delivered - email was from Belgium domain BE and name before sign @ includes word "planet". If it is you, then let me know your correct email because we got reply "user doesn't exists". Quote Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable (S2017062302). [DB3PEPF0000885D.eurprd02.prod.outlook.com 2024-09-08T17:50:15.675Z 08DCCD73C17B8721] If you mean, what you made reservation and had no reply at all, then it is for sure issue with your mailbox or email address - you should receive reservation receipt within next 10 min, because robot does that 24/7. Confirmation may take up to 3-4 days - guys are with clients, some are in areas with low mobile coverage. That why Siamroads has minimal time to book tour 48 hours before tour. vinapu and bkkmfj2648 2 Quote

Olddaddy Posted September 21 Author Posted September 21 Guys if I hire a tour guide where should ho with them to ? I'm thinking the railway line where the markets is? Quote

Amphawah, which is the floating river market is worth a visit, and lunch, and you can take in the railway line, at Maeklong, which is quite close. Check times, to make sure you catch the train leaving. vinapu and Olddaddy 1 1 Quote
Olddaddy Posted September 21 Author Posted September 21 I might even check out the Nong Nooch gardens❇️❇️❇️ in Pattaya As for BANGKOK is ANDY available?? His booking page has been deleted 🌸May I ask if Andy is available? Quote
