“A private tour with Sirirat (Susie) was like getting a private history lesson! My husband and I wanted to learn more about Thai history, culture, Buddhism, and art. We got that and more! Sirirat taught us about the science of Thai massage, yoga, herbs, and she pointed out landmarks as we drove from place to place. We spent about 7 hours together and loved every minute (she can shorten the time as well). This was perfect for us - more personal conversations, time to thoroughly read all the informational placards and panels, and longer stops at each landmark.”
