Bangkok and Chiang Mai
In Bangkok, our guide Ann and driver "Mr. Ot" (I don't know how to spell his name) were very friendly and professional. You simply can't underestimate the value of having an English speaking guide to show you around, and a driver with a comfortable, sizeable, air-conditioned van take you from place to place. Ann taught us so much about Thailand's history, food, and religion. Mr. Ot always opened our door with a smile, and had cool towels and ice-cold bottled water for us. More

Excellent guide in Siem Reap
Our recent time spent in Siem Reap was made even more memorable by our expert guide, Som Piseth. Som was knowledgeable, attentive, flexible and super helpful - we learnt so much about Siem Reap and Cambodia in our 3 days with him. His English was excellent and his knowledge of, and pride in, his country was outstanding. We would highly recommend Som for anyone wanting an excellent guide in Siem Reap! More

Best Times to Visit Thailand, Singapore and Bali
The prime time to experience the best of Thailand is from November to April, while Singapore welcomes visitors from February to October, and Bali showcases its beauty between April and October. Therefore, the best time to explore these three countries collectively is in April.
Additionally, May to July and October to November are also good choices. During these periods, Bali and Singapore embrace great weather, while Thailand avoids its peak rainfall. Besides, most of the rainfall in Southeast Asia occurs as short bursts lasting for 1-2 hours in the afternoon. Therefore, you still have time for outdoor fun even in each country's rainy off season.
How to Get Around Thailand, Singapore and Bali
For the travel route, Thailand–Singapore–Bali is highly recommended to minimize time and transportation costs. You could take advantage of the rich choices of direct flights and the convenient geographical proximity of these three locations. You could also have a winding-down tour outlook: from more-active sightseeing in Thailand to city life in Singapore to beach time in Bali.
Flights undoubtedly are the fastest and most comfortable way to travel between the countries and popular cities. For local sightseeing, our door-to-door private transfers would save you from facing navigation issues, long walks, and the hassle of dealing with public transportation.
