“Tanom, our driver was amazing, very flexible, also accommodating the needs of a 4year old :). He drove safely, changed a bit the plan to allow some elephant activity and brought us to beautiful places. He is very knowledgeable regarding the recent history of the country and also shared a bit about his own life. We really appreciated the trip and can really recommend it to family with (small) kids.”
