Great tour of Ancient City and Erawan Museum with Forever Vacation

I had an excellent day with guide Chaiya who supported me seamlessly across the huge Ancient City site. He also took many awesome photos for me. The great advantage of doing this tour privately with Forever Vacation is that you have your own car to whisk around the different zones of Ancient City quickly to make your trip more efficient and enjoyable. Erawan Museum is also awesome. In addition to the famous 3-headed elephant statue, the interiors are ornate and stunning. I also visited Bang Pu centre to feed the seagulls. I highly recommend this trip.

Exploring the Bangkok Ancient Wonders tour with ForeverVacation was such a dreamy experience! We started at the Erawan Museum, where the giant three-headed elephant and stunning interiors totally blew us away seriously, that stained glass ceiling is next level. Then we headed to Muang Boran (Ancient City) and spent the day wandering through Thailand’s history. The place is huge, peaceful, and absolutely gorgeous. We rented a golf cart, cruised around, and stopped at so many amazing temples and spots. Perfect mix of culture, beauty, and chill vibes such a romantic and fun day out with my boyfriend!

The private tour was all-inclusive, which made it super chill and hassle-free. Muang Boran felt like stepping into history with its detailed replicas of Thailand’s iconic sites. Erawan Museum? Absolutely stunning – the massive, golden three-headed elephant is jaw-dropping! If you're into culture, history, and a little bit of wanderlust, this spot is perfect for you. Can't wait for the next adventure!

Hands down, one of the coolest trips ever! We explored Muang Boran and the Erawan Museum with Forever Vacation and it was a perfect mix of history, beauty, and good vibes. Muang Boran felt like traveling through all of Thailand in one day massive temples, floating markets, and unreal photo spots. And the Erawan Museum? That giant three headed elephant is even crazier in person. Inside felt like stepping into a magical realm. Great weather, awesome food, and non-stop laughs with friends. Total 10/10 experience! Would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Took the fam on the Ancient Wonders Tour in Bangkok with Vietnam Forever Vacation last December, and it was a vibe. Muang Boran felt like a mini time travel trip every corner had something cool to see. The Erawan Museum? Insane. That giant three headed elephant is wild in the best way. Super smooth tour, no stress, just good views and good times with the fam.
Best Bangkok tour!! Amazing experience.
