My experience with my tour guide Ms Ying was very nice. She explained the history of the temple and place. Clicked some very good photos of us. The place is a worth visit on your trip to Bangkok. The Emerald Budha has three dresses based on the season which is changed by the king. Worth visit.

Our tour guide was world class, she was very experienced and knew everything. During the tour, she gave us enough time and showed us where we could take the best photos. She answered all our questions. At the end, she even gave us tips on what else to do in Bangkok. We can only recommend this tour.

Tour was comploete disaster. Gude uninterested to us. Very bad vibes and stories about the kingdom and budhaism. Guide was late with the tour for 30 minutes, gave us hot water to drink and finalise tour 15 minutes before end. Maybe even better. We would enjoy better on our own for 500 THB entrance fee. We were very disappointed.
