worldatlarge Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I am shocked. Loosing a nice and sweet person like him, so young and so suddenly My deepest condoleances to family and friends. Manly69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeblack Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Shocking to read about the demise of one guide. I had gotten Ya to be my guide earlier this year and must say that he was very sweet and attentive to the details! Certainly had a great time with this guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeblack Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I made a booking with Nick on my trip to Pattaya early this May. Was quite a good experience as he brought me to coral island, khao larn. Beaches were beautiful, albeit a bit crowded with the PRCs! Definitely worth a considering a booking with Nick should anyone be interested to go!

LAguy Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Definitely worth a considering a booking with Nick should anyone be interested to go! Unfortunately, when I tried to book Nick, he told me it was too early to book. I was trying to set up a weekend in July, and he told me to get in touch later(?!) I ended up booking a weekend away in Chiang Mai with a different guide. I guess Nick can afford to turn away business... He definitely lost mine...

TotallyOz Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 It is clearly stated at siamroads.com - booking is possible not early than 90 day in advance I suggest you change that policy. Many like to plan their trips in advance. You could confirm with them a month in advance. But, why not book 90 days in advance?

I just checked the FAQ, plus the About Us sections and don't see it.... You might want to make it more obvious for those of us who overlook things like that...

You might want to make it more obvious for those of us who overlook things like that... Thank you for your info. I have to make it more visible then. Will fix that tomorrow By the way, as I know Nick has plans to visit hometown in July anyway - for vacations. Low season is best time for to take vacation - it less hurt for business.

ggobkk Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Just back from a short visit to Bangkok. I contacted Ya -who was going to be guiding outside of the city. He arranged for Mac to be my guide. Mac was eager to be helpful and made some good suggestions - such as a trip to the floating market. The weather was hot (very hot) and he devised as least three inexpensive ways to be on the river.

Moses Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I suggest you change that policy. Many like to plan their trips in advance. You could confirm with them a month in advance. But, why not book 90 days in advance? It is somehow linked with schedule in UNIs - they can't know future schedule far in advance. Nick isn't student but just stays under the same rule. Also it is other side of the coin - orders are personalized. Clients order not just "guide" but "Oh" or "Nick". It is easy to open booking just for "guiding service" 365 days in advance, but when we are talking about "guiding service of Nick" or "guiding service of Yaya" it became more complicated: boys don't like to say "no" but also don't want to take obligations what are laying far in future. I will give URL to this discussion to boys, may be they will change policy. Thank you everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotallyOz Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 A friend of mine ran an companions agency in NYC. He would book up to 6 months or more in advance for the guys that were with him for a bit. The reason is that many plan their trip around who will be their companion. They want to be sure they get what they want. If things ever changed on the end of the agency, he would simply contact client and let them know the guy was no longer there and offer alternatives. However, I would never plan that far in advance to Thailand as I know the place. But, if I were booking a convention or a first time tourist, I would. In the end, it is up to Moses and his boys to determine how far they wish to book in advance. But, if a week long gig came along for months in advance, I would not turn it down. But, I like money! On another note, Mac is sexy. Can I get him at an Apple Genius Bar? Moses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggobkk Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Mac was my guide in early May. Before I arrived we had worked out a plan of sights to see, then the heat wave hit. Mac was inventive in finding cooler alternatives and providing lots of details about sights. He was very attentive to his customers.
