Beautiful day out - We had the best day with Bunpheng (tour guide) and Dinner (Driver). Bunpheng had so much knowledge that he shared with us which was very interesting and was very entertaining 😄. I would highly recommend this tour and it’s nice to do a private tour without the big crowds. Thank you for showing us your beautiful country! 🙏
