Tommy came and met us in our hotel lobby. He was very pleasant and after introductions, he told us that it was Thai New Years. He explained the tradition of pouring water over Buddha statues and good fortune. Our shuttle driver quickly took us away to start our temple tour. Tommy was extremely knowledgeable about the history and cultural elements. Every question we had was thoughtfully explained. He coordinated with the shuttle driver so that there was little time waiting for the ride and more time spent on sight seeing. There were cold towels and drinks in the shuttle. After the temple tour, he brought us to a local market for some tasty local treats. The guided tour was well worth the price. Thank you Tommy!
