Snorkelling trips have been praised for their family-friendly format, which typically includes transport, boat travel, two locations, and lunch.

Visitor Reviews
I had an amazing first scuba diving experience, and it was all thanks to Greg. As a diving instructor, he is truly exceptional. From the very beginning, he took the time to explain everything clearly and patiently — from understanding the scuba cylinders, valves, and regulators to proper buoyancy control and underwater communication. I felt comfortable with the equipment and confident before descending, and once underwater, he calmly taught me essential diving skills step by step. His guidance on breathing techniques and equalization made the dive feel smooth and enjoyable. What really stood out was how friendly, supportive, and attentive Greg was throughout the entire dive. He constantly checked in, reassured me, and helped me build confidence at every stage. Thanks to his professionalism and positive energy, my first dive was not only safe but incredibly memorable. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor for my introduction to the underwater world. I highly recommend Greg to anyone, especially first-time divers looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging scuba instructor. Hope to see you again next year — highly recommended!
Great company and easy going atmosphere. Neil constantly shares his experiences and briefs on what to see for each dive. Looking forward to doing more....
I dove with Greg and the others they were great. I had a lot of fun and felt very safe during the dive. I will dive with them again.

Haggle at Markets, Not Malls
Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.
Arrive Early or Late
Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.
Be Cautious with Tailors
Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
