Customer Testimonials
Yaowarat Bangkok Food Tour
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This food tour was one of the highlights of our visit to Bangkok! We booked through Phuket Travel Store, and everything was perfectly arranged from start to finish. Our guide was excellent—friendly, informative, and full of interesting stories about Bangkok's Chinatown and its amazing food scene. We sampled a fantastic variety of authentic dishes at local eateries and street food stalls, all of which were delicious. The portions were generous, the pace was relaxed, and the experience felt very authentic. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bangkok. Booking through Phuket Travel Store made everything easy, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience!
Excellent company for airport transfers & excursions
We booked x2 transfers and the hong by starlight tour a few months before our holiday. Communication was quick and informative, and when we arrived to Thailand, kept regulaly informed by whats app. Transfers were alll on time, with clean and very good sized transport. However the highlight of our whole holiday was the John Gray Sea Canoes trip. A full day out with absolutely stunning scenery, we were allocated a private guide per x2 passengers who were so friendly and informative, taking photos and pointing out wildlife when out on the canoes. The food onboard was the best we have ever had on a boat trip, the coconut milk pudding with rainbow tapioca balls was deemed the best dessert ever by the kids! Making the kratong and floating it at sunset was a beautiful event and the lit up bioluminence after dark in the caves was again a memory we will all trwasuee forever. If you're going to book one trip, make it the John Gray Canoes - you wont regret it!
Excellent day!
Excellent day by boat to visit the 4 islands, the guide was super friendly and welcoming. The day was rhythmic but lorgic with 4 islands to visit! And end around 2:30 pm so it’s rather nice to return quietly to the hotel not too late! Nice discovery, I recommend!
Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.
