Read what our clients write about this tour:

Очень приятно было общаться с г-ном Мэнгом, как по электронке, на стадии бронирования (отвечает сразу и подробно), так и лично. Очень приятный, опрятный гестхауз, действительно, домик для гостей с очень радушным персоналом, хорошей кухней и очень приятными ценами за все. Обычно мы, путешествуя, никогда не используем "пакетные" туры, но здесь сделали исключение и очень рады этому. Во-первых это похоже больше на обслуживание VIP персон, чем тур для туристов-пакетников. Последние полгода мы все время в дороге, и посетили на своем пути много гестхаузов, и Ta Som достойно занял первое место в нашем рейтинге. Пять баллов! Более подробно о наших путешествиях можете прочитать здесь: http://alec220.livejournal.com Your Name: Киселев Алексей Posted Date: 03/06/2011.

Translation of the above review in English:

Very pleasant to chat with Mr. Meng by mail, under booking (responds immediately and in detail), and personally. Really very nice guesthouse, cottage for guests with very friendly staff, good food and very pleasant prices for everything. Typically, when you travel, we never use "budget" tours, but made an exception and are very excited about this. Firstly it looks like more on services than VIP tour for package tourists. The last six months, we are constantly on the go, and went on his journey many guesthouses and Ta Som was ranked first in our rating. Five points!
