I am a non-Thai speaker with an interest in Thai history in general
& the historical sites between Korat / Surin & Cambodia in particular.
Previously I used a guide I met at the Chiang Mai night market for a couple day trips to Mai Sai & Pai ..
he (Toi?) was educated & bi-lingual + provided a Volvo w/ driver for 3k thb per day.
best / most informative tour I have experienced.
any suggestions for a Bkk based guide for a multiday trip?
any suggestions for a Bkk based car / driver fro a multiday trip?
Issan based? I can get to Issan (train) without needing to speak Thai ..
Previously a BG "took me" to Issan .. & we hired a pickup truck at the Buri ram train station
it was histerical (not historical) comedy of errors .. she was cute & but had not a clue about much except her day rate.
+ the pickups A/C & cassette were both non-functional.
DOH!
I seek a referance for an educated Thai to take me to the historical sites + be able to inform me / discuss history / historical relevance.
I arrive july 9 for 4 weeks.
I will get a serviced apartment 'headquarters' in Bkk & then do multiday excursions to CM / Pai, Issan & Phuket.
