I searched the forum but came up relatively dry. I understand the pros/cons and I am interested in a tour company that will arrange private tours of Thailand and Cambodia. Does anyone have a suggestion for Tour companies that offer this service?

We were very happy with Innovasian.com. Gregg was great in working with our specific requests. It was relatively cheap. The local agency he used in Thailand was East-West Siam. They provided car, driver and English speaking guide.

in bkk i have turismothai and they did a good job with airport pick-ups and local sightseeing tours

i have used asiantrails.com and was very pleased with them and they were very reasonable and customized the tour to us....you have to ask for this service as they have lots of canned tours..

not knowing what you want to do, i can't make more suggestions....all hotels have tour desks or at least tour fliers that you can arrange on short notice....lots of things can be done easily on your own as well at your own pace---remember its very hot there

for cambodia i should have added that i did it on my own and arranged the the driver and guide (both an absolute neccessity) through my hotel (in advance)...and i did it cheaper and better

As Gpanda - I too used InnovAsian.com who booked both our Thailand and Cambodia (Siem Reap-Angkor Wat) prtions of our trip. Yes, Gregg uses East-West Siam in Thailand - don't remember who in REP. Had all transfers taken care of, and driver, guide and a/c car in both places. Contact InnovAsian.

Try Circleofasia.com. They are an internet agency with a great website. I have booked some flights, train sleeper and tours through them for Dec. I can only comment on the pre-trip organizatin so far. I have dealt with the same person all the time, made umpteen requests, asked many questions and changed the itinerary countless times. Have had all my questions answered promptly and efficiently, with good grace, friendliness and humor.

I hope the plans in Thailand will go as well as the communications with this agency.
