The driver had arrived before the appointment time, there was a sign with my name written on it The cabin was clean and tidy, the air was fresh There should be a toll section, so it seemed faster to Pattaya that trip overall is recommended to use the TTD private transfer service

It was so great. They were on time and the photoshoot was smooth as a lip balm. The photographer was really talented and the staff who assisted was competent and praises you every now and then. I had a good time because it was keenly professional.

We enjoyed a lot while having a dinner in a cruise.. Specially when we saw the squidgame doll at the sea promoting their movie hahaha the ambiance is full of enjoyment and thanks to the live band for that.

A very unique Thai historical performance. My wife, my wife, and my six-year-old daughter all thought the performance was very exciting. It's a pity that it was only one hour, otherwise it would have been perfect.

Very good experience, just collected tickets and stickers at Pier 4, on the boat when it was time, however there was not much food, there may be no toppings after eating, so it was right to collect it as much as possible at the beginning.

The 2-hour trip is definitely not a show-off. It goes back and forth to the Meijiang River, the shemale show is very impressive, the atmosphere is very good, and the top floor has the best view.

The food is very delicious. The view is good. If you want a seat at the top, I recommend booking several days in advance. If you book suddenly, you will get a seat at the bottom and cannot see the view outside. This is my second time booking and I am very impressed.
