The Erawan Museum elephant was even more immense than I imagined. Our guide really knew his stuff about the history at the Ancient City, and we saw so many palace replicas, it was almost overwhelming in a good way. The private golf cart was perfect for covering all that ground.
Worth the money, the driver was so nice and always helping us to take pictures. A private SUV for the whole tour even inside the ancient city, I would definitely book again

Replied on Mar 13, 2024Hey Nadia, Thanks a bunch for the awesome review! We're so thrilled you enjoyed the Private Erawan Museum and Ancient City tour, and that you had a great experience with the driver. Glad you had a blast! Hope to see you again!
Beautiful and fascinating! The Ancient City is like mini-tour of Thailand in just a few hours. Some of the areas appear to be new or under some construction.Pics do not do justice, esp to Erawan Museum. My guide was super nice, his English wasn't super good but we figured it out! He was very polite and offered to take photos of me. It's nice to have something other than a selfie in these locations.Please ensure you're prepared for mildly modest clothing, and to take your shoes off a lot to enter the temples. Comfy walking shoes that slip on would be ideal.Take sunscreen and lots of water.
