Because we had a private driver, Bank would communicate with the driver and we were able to see more things than you would normally get to see on a tour like this. Communication with Bank before, during and after the tour was excellent. My advice: First, if you have the opportunity, hire a private driver from Bangkok. Second, please request BANK as your guide from the tour company!!!”
