In January, we booked a tour at our hotel (Royal Orchid) with the &quot;Tour East&quot; company for a day-long trip to Ayutthaya and Bang Pa-In (up on bus, returning on boat, lunch included). For 2 persons, the fee was US$77.28, per the credit card bill. We enjoyed it. I'm sure there are better tours, but we weren't dissatisfied with this one. <BR>The tour began and ended at the River City Center.

A tour operator for what, day tours? If so then World Travel Service cannot be beaten.
