My mom and I participated in a full day tour. In the morning, we visited a farm and we learned how to plant rice. We also picked fresh herbs and cooked our own lunch with locals. This was a truly authentic experience and it was amazing to learn more about Thai farming culture and cuisine. Our tour guide Nikki was excellent at time management. He didn’t rush us through the morning, instead he allowed us to learn about the farm at a relaxed, slow pace so we could understand more about their way of life and experience a different Thai lifestyle than Bangkok. His translation skills from Thai to English were also quite impressive. During the experience, he took lots of pictures for us and suggested that we make a video of our trip with the footage. Afterwards, he took us to the summer palace and several temples in Ayutthaya! His knowledge of Thai history was incredible. We learned so much about the old capitol, historical conflicts, architecture, Buddhist practices, and cultural preservation. We are really grateful for the experience with Nikki. Even after our tour date, he kept in contact with us in case we had any more questions about Thailand. He also gave us some advice for booking a car for a different excursion. At the end of our trip, he messaged us a farewell and safe travels. He is the best tour guide we had in Thailand and we 100% recommend any of his tours!
