Looking to join a family or nice people to tour.

Hello,

I will be traveling to Bangkok Dec 30th-Jan 6th with my finace, but he will be working almost everyday until late. I would really like to get out and enjoy Bangkok. I do not mind doing it alone, but I would really enjoy hanging out with a nice family or a group of people. If you think you would not mind me hanging out with you I would love to talk with you more to see if it could work out. A little about myself, I am from the US. I am a 22 year old female graduate student, who really wants to see the world. Posting this is a little odd for me, but I would really rather tour with others then alone. However, safety is a big issue with me and I would really like to get to know you first via e-mail%26#39;s. Thank you.

Hi Ashley,

We just miss you as we are in Bangkok 2-5 Dec %26amp; 12-15 Jan! Otherwise we would of loved to have caught up with you.

Just a thought... why dont you hire someone like Nok for a few days. She is an unqualified tour guide that only charges 500 baht for the day. She doesnt have her own transport, instead relying on public transport. There are heaps of great reviews on here about her. She would be perfect to spend a few days with while your fiance is working.... she could take you to do some sightseeing, explore places like Chinatown and do some shopping... At only 500 baht per day it would be like hanging out with a girlfriend. I am using her in early Dec for a day to just do some shopping and find my way around a bit!

Why dont you look at doing a bike tour for something different... we are going to try do one although havent made our mind up... gets you into some of the areas of rural Bangkok. The two companies I have narrowed it down to that are worth looking at would be ABC Amazing Bangkok Cycles www.realasia.net or Spice Roads www.spiceroads.com

Good luck..

PS Noks email address is nan_ke80@yahoo.co.uk just in case you are interested! xx

It may seem a bit too ';package tour-ish'; but you might check out some of the tour agencies already reviewed here and see if you can join a small tour.

Also, do not underestimate the Concierge at the Four Seasons. It is at least worth an e-mail or fax to them explaining just what you said in this posting. Emphasize that you%26#39;d like to join with some other like minded people and see what they can do.

One final idea: There is Club of young professionals in Bangkok called something like the Bangkok Young Professionals. You could Google that and see what might be on their schedule that would be of interest to you and your partner.

I just saw Emjayreet%26#39;s suggestion. It looks a lot more fun than mine!

My wife and I are just back from a visit to Bangkok and we also

used Nok for the day. She is a great young girl and is very keen to get work and will try and accomodate you with any tours you suggest. On our day with her we went down to the river, had a klong tour, visited some temples, flower market, and China town where we had a nice lunch followed by some shopping.

She can also arrange a car and driver to go along with her if you want to go further afield.

The cost for the day was 500bhat.

Needless to say we gave her a good tip for her excellent service.

If you contact her , tell her her Scottish friends Irviing %26amp; Libbie

are asking for her.

We do highly recommmend her services.

Thank you all for your advice, I will check with her and the four seasons. It would be nice to have a girl to hang out with and she might just be my girl. Its also nice to know that she has good rec%26#39;s and if I do get her I will tell her you said hello.

Thanks for not thinking my post was odd. Have a great day.

Ashley
