点评:Honestly, my guide Pal Saruon was amazing. I would say 5/5 but it was more like 6/5 because he went above and beyond from what I could see, definitely more so than other tour guides I had seen taking people around the temples. He is very smart, knowledgeable, speaks English very well, and knows almost every one of these hundred or so temples like the back of his hand. You can also see the enthusiasm in his face and in his expressions when he speaks about the temples. I originally hired him by chance through my driver last minute looking for a guide for the temples. He crushed it the first day so I asked him to be my guide the second day as well. Moreover, if you are like me traveling solo, or even with friends or families, he did photos for me everywhere and knew all the best spots. He's a really nice guy and you will not be disappointed in having him as a guide.
My only feedback is the choice of restaurants for when you stop to get food. They did seem a bit overpriced and touristy. As soon as I sat down for lunch, four separate and rather large groups of tourists walked in with their tour guides in the span of about 5-10 minutes, it seems they all bring them to the same places. I also noticed that none of the tour guides/drivers eat with their groups likely for the aforementioned reasons, so if that is a concern to you I would simply raise it with Pal and ask to go somewhere else. The quality of food, however, was still great.
Overall, I would absolutely hire him again as he really is one of the best guides I have had in my 15+ years of traveling and living abroad.
翻译:说实话,我的导游Pal Saruon太棒了。我本来想打5分,但实际上更像是6分,因为在我看来,他做得非常出色,绝对比我见过的其他带人参观寺庙的导游做得更好。他非常聪明,知识渊博,英语说得很好,对这几百座寺庙几乎了如指掌。当他谈论寺庙时,你还能从他的脸上和表情中看到他满满的热情。我最初是在我的司机那里偶然雇了他,当时我正忙着找寺庙导游。他第一天就把事情办好了,所以我第二天也请他做我的导游。此外,如果你像我一样独自旅行,或者和朋友或家人一起旅行,他都会帮我拍下沿途所有景点的照片,而且知道所有最佳景点。他人非常好,有他做导游绝对不会让你失望。
我唯一的意见是,当你停下来吃饭时,餐厅的选择有点少。它们看起来确实有点贵,而且很像旅游景点。我刚坐下来吃午饭,大约5-10分钟的时间里,就有四组规模相当大的游客和导游走了进来,看起来他们都带游客去了同一个地方。我还注意到,由于上述原因,所有导游/司机都不和游客一起吃饭。如果您对此感到担忧,我建议直接跟Pal说一声,让他换个地方。不过,食物的质量仍然很棒。
总而言之,我绝对会再次聘请他,因为他确实是我15多年来在国外旅行和生活以来遇到的最好的导游之一。
