After much research we booked our 2 day tour with Thai Sabai and we are so pleased we did. The correspondence and payment invoicing was prompt and professional by Olaf and Angmo.
Our driver was at the terminal waiting for us and drove us directly to Ayutthaya, stopping to pick up our lovely guide, Soo, on the way. The van was immaculate and cool, and we were provided with cold water and towels. Soo was friendly, interesting, knowledgable, and helpful with local customs, etc.
After seeing all we wanted to at Ayuthaya Soo suggested a local restaurant for lunch and we discussed our plans for the afternoon and evening. We were dropped to our hotel and collected again the next morning for our day around Bangkok. Soo and our driver, Tink, planned our day from the sights we asked to see in the best way and kept us informed throughout the day. We had the most amazing Thai lunch at a restaurant that Soo has been dining at since her childhood and which recently received a Michelin star. The prices were very reasonable.
Soo was great with our children, aged 11 & 12, and ensured their enjoyment was balanced with the cultural sights.
The tour was very flexible and meant we could spend as much or as little time at each attraction as we wanted to, although Soo did ensure we were aware how much time would be required for the remaining attractions on our list.
We were delivered back to the cruise in comfortable time.
We would highly recommend this tour as without Soo and Tink we would not have appreciated the attractions as much, nor experienced the local interaction that makes travel special.
Thank you Soo, Tink, Angmo and Olaf

My partner and I were traveling with another couple on our trip in July 2022 to Singapore, Koh Samui, and Bangkok. Compared to Singapore, prices for a private guide with a driver was very reasonable in Bangkok. After A LOT of research, and many many emails with Olaf (the owner of the company), we agreed on a three day private tour with a guide and driver to see the following:
11 July: Ayutthaya Tailor Made tour by van. Bang Pa In, Wat Chai
Wattanaram, Wat Phra Si Sanphet, Wat Mahatat.
12 July: Train and floating market Tailor Made tour by van. Both
markets, good local (seafood?) lunch and back to
Bangkok and if time allows more sites
13 July: Bangkok Tailor Made tour by van.
Wishlist: Wat Traimit, Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, lunch at
Krua Apsorn, klong tour boat ride, Wat Pho.
The above was a wish list, but Olaf patiently worked with me as I asked many questions to try to come up with a "best" plan.
Tommy and the driver showed up early and were waiting at the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria to pick us on up July 11. As others have said Tommy is not only knowledgeable, but he is a lot of fun. He is also so considerate! Because it was a private tour, we were able to speed things up or slow things down, depending on our interest in what we were seeing.
I've included some pictures. If you have time, definitely consider a three day tour! You will learn so much and it will be so much easier with Tommy and a driver!

Our tour guide, Vanna was extremely nice, not only with us, but especially with our two sons. One is 14 while the other is turning 11 and they both loved her. She knew exactly where to go and which places had the best stuff. Sometimes she would pay for the street food as well. On the first day we would ask her to buy a few stuff but she told us that the second day there would be the same stuff but much cheaper and she was right. Very good guide overall.

We were accompanied by Tommy from Thai Sabai Life for the the train market, floating market and to see the swimming monkeys along the shoreline. It really was an excellent trip. Well planned and all went smoothly. We were even picked up from our hotel!
Tommy is a great guide, knowledgeable and easy to get along with. He really made the day fun!
The driver was also very friendly and more than accommodating.
I would highly recommend a trip with TSL and will recommend any travellers to Bangkok as well as hope to meet Tommy again on future trips to Bangkok.

Our family of 5 had a perfect experience with Vanna and our driver Matee. Over three days, they took care of everything during our private Bangkok area tour. They took us to all our personal must-see sites plus filled in the agenda with additional areas that they recommended. Some of their picks turned out to be our favorite activities. Best of all, they went out of their way to ensure we experienced their culture by sharing their favorite snacks and meals, and personal stories. Our eight-year-old was in tears saying goodbye to her new "grandmom" as Vanna dropped us off at the airport for our midnight flight. A perfect trip with perfect guides. We cannot thank them enough and will definitely look them up when we return to Thailand.

Thai Sabai life have been amazing. I organised two trips with them and nothing was too much trouble. Angmo and Olaf are lovely to deal with. Helpful, attentive and great communication.
The first trip was to Ayurtha with Jay who is a pleasure to have as a guide. More like a new Thai friend. She looked after me and my two friends beautifully.
The next day we did a tour of Bangkok with ten people and this was thoroughly enjoyed by all and hosted again by Jay.
I have no hesitation in recommending this amazing team and hope to see thdm again when i come back to Bangkok.

Well done “Thai Sabai Life”!
My guide Mr.Teera arrived 30 minutes early. Super luxury air conditioned, super clean van with professional driver was waiting outside. Ice cold water and cold refreshing disposable wash cloths were provided all day long.
In Bangkok I visited Wat Prakawe or the temple of the Emerald Buddha, a huge, endless and breathtaking Grand Palace, Wat Pho the reclining Buddha, Wat Triamid or the Golden Buddha, got holy water, wristband rope, blessing from Monks, and so many other things and temples, I honestly lost the count…
Then we drove by the Giant Swing and the Chinatown. We took some photos. Mr. Teera was so knowledgeable. Gave me so much information.
Next we went to the Wat Saket or Golden Mount. We walk up the long “stairs to heaven”. Everything was so beautiful, you can do some rituals and relax. It was my last day in Bangkok and I wanted to do more. It was only midday and I asked Mr. Teera if visiting temples in Ayutthaya could be possible. He called the company and of course they did organised the additional trip. We went to Wat Mahathat and Wat Pramongkonbopit and another giant reclining Buddha, more temples and more all different kinds of Buddhas. There was also place with lots of elephants. You could feed them and take a ride on the elephant. Later afternoon they dropped me off back in my hotel.
I am so thankful for this amazing experience.

What a fantastic day we had with Vanna and her driver. She took us to all the places we had requested. Vanna was so knowledgeable and seemed to know everyone wherever we went. Some lovely extra special treats along the way too. She took us to a wonderful small family run restaurant for lunch- delicious. The company were so easy to book from the UK and kept in contact with us leading up to our trip to Asia. Thank you all.

We had the most magical day with Tommy. We took the private floating market tour and we had a brilliant time. Tommy was punctual, professional and fun to be with. From the ice box full of cold drinks, to the fascinating knowledge of Bangkok, every bit of the day was planned meticulously and seemlessly. I honestly can’t recommend this tour and it’s guide more, thank you Tommy!!

My wife and I were recently on a cruise with a two-night stop in Bangkok. Even with the overnights, we knew there was not enough time to see everything we wanted to see in Bangkok and also take a full day trip to the UNESCO Heritage sites in Ayutthaya. The ship offered various excursions, but nothing that would maximize our use of the limited time that contrasted to all we wanted to see. I searched for private guides and corresponded with several; I was fortunate to find Olaf and Thai Sabai Life. Olaf worked patiently with me to craft a three day itinerary to enable us to see as much as possible. I especially appreciated how Olaf responded when I tried to overload the itinerary with a route offered by others that wasted time backtracking to include two sites that should not be on the same itinerary. Olaf said, " if you can find somebody who only thinks about selling any tour they can, you will find other guides offering this tour. But we do not offer bad tours because we want our guests to be happy at all times. I understand that you want to see and do as much as possible and we always do so. However we know by experience which trips are good and which ones are not." I am grateful to Olaf for helping me to avoid a bad plan, and for his unwillingness to sell me a "bad tour." Instead, he arranged a great tour with a wonderful guide, Miss Soo; she was more than a guide; she was a great teacher throughout our three days of touring throughout Bangkok and our drive to Ayutthaya. We were also fortunate to have a wonderful driver, Mr. Suvit. With the help of Olaf, the wonderful teaching from Miss Soo and the good driving of Mr. Suvit, we had a full and wonderful two nights and three days in Bangkok.

To those of you who have gone before, I have several questions about public vs private transportation.
1. We will have kids with us (a family of 6) but we are pretty adventurous. For those with kids what do you recommend?
2. With the private van, do you spend a lot of time in traffic? We were thinking that public transportation would be faster and more fun. But cool towels sound inviting.
3. I'm guessing that public transportation is a combination of the BTS, subway, klong taxis and regular taxis. Is this correct?
4. Would you recommend that Ayuttahaya tour with children?
Thank you so much!

Our day with Peachy was amazing. She coordinated with the driver and we did not experience any delay due to the private van. We particularly enjoyed the long boat ride on the canals but not sure how many children would fit in one. We gave Peachy a long wish list for our one day in Bangkok and she covered it all. From the flower market, lessons in folding the lotus blossoms, the Temple of Dawn, a fabulous upscale Thai lunch, the Grand Palace, the long boat ride to the Watsuthat Temple and the Giant Swing. We loved Bangkok and highly recommend Peachy. Having traveled extensively, I would not spend my time using public transportation and enjoy the comfort of a private van. Enjoy Bangkok with your family.
