This private tour was absolutely amazing! We had the best guide ever, Kay! She taught us so much about the history of the temples and the Thai royal family. She was extremely knowledgeable and honestly just fun to hangout with all day! We were transported seamlessly from temple to temple, and Kay was always ready and willing to take lots of pictures for us. I would highly highly recommend taking this tour, especially if it is your first time in Bangkok. It will not disappoint!
