Incredible trip & tour guide.
Ruth & Red are incredible. My fiancé and I went to celebrate our engagement anniversary and we had a great time. The snorkeling was amazing and so beautiful. We enjoyed going to monkey beach, too. Ruth was a great guide, very knowledgeable, and funny! Would definitely recommend!!!

Best tour ever! Best day of my life!
We had an amazing experience with Five Star Thailand. Ruth was with us the entire day and was the best. She treated us so well, giving us waters and fruit, was very funny, and guided us around with such kindness. We highly recommend doing this tour!

Such an incredible experience. Our tour guide BOOM was awesome! We did the private longboat tour and she curated it perfectly towards what we wanted. It felt very personal and exclusive and we were able to check out so much without the huge crowds. Highly recommend doing a private tour with them! :)

Go! At your own pace
Great private tour! Boom and our experienced boatman were great. They felt the vibes of the trip pace we were trying to have and accommodated. Rather than feeling like you’re one of many cattle being shoved in and out of areas, the tour felt like it was the pace my wife and were most comfortable with.

We had the pleasure of having Ruth as our tour guide around Phi Phi Islands, and we couldn’t recommend it enough. From pickup from our hotel to being dropped back off, the entire experience was smooth and enjoyable. Ruth was super knowledgeable and accommodating, and took lots of…

Phi phi island tour
The Phi Phi island tour was amazing with our tour guide Ruth. We got picked up from our hotel and taken to the Marina where Ruth met us and took us around the islands. She was very friendly and lovely to talk to.

The tour guide was very lovely. We got to Maya bay first for the day (bear in mind this is in June) and they pretty much asked us what we wanted to do the entire time so it was on our own terms! Amazing!

Fantastic day around Phi Phi!
We had an incredible day out with our guide, Boom. It was a fantastic experience to have the boat and a guide to ourselves, we wouldn’t do it any other way. It was fantastic that the day could be tailored to our needs and to avoid bad weather or crowds. Thanks Boom for a great day out.

Best way to experience phi phi islands
Truly the highlight of our Thailand trip - Boom was awesome and was super friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience so much more fun. She took it to all of the great spots (monkey island, maya bay, etc) as well as some more secluded spots for snorkeling which we truly enjo…

Must do in Phuket - ask for Ruth
We had the best time for our private tour with Ruth, she was truly amazing. Allowed us to do what we wanted and took us to the best spots with not a lot of people. She was patient with us and let us take our time. 100% recommend her and this service. Plus she is an awesome photographer.

Great experience with private tour
Had a great experience on this private tour. Ruth was an amazing guide - she is very sweet, attentive, and proactive with helping us with our needs. The tour itself was great - beautiful views, enough time to take photos, and ample time to swim/snorkel. Would highly recommend!

Best day out ever, will book again!
From the minute we were picked up, to the minute we got dropped off, ruth looked after us! The tour exceeded our expectations massively, we booked the James Bond tour with canoeing but it was so much more! Ticked off so many things we wanted to do whilst in Thailand! Everything w…

Had an amazing day, well worth the premium!
It's kind of tough to book private Phi Phi tours because there are just so many options. So we were shocked to see all the good reviews for Five Star Thailand and wondered if it was too good to be true, but our experience with them was amazing! It was really nice to have a perso…

Amazing trip!
Ruth and Red were amazing hosts during our visit to Phi Phi. They took us to places where the crowds weren’t bad and let us take all the pictures we wanted, and they took such good care of us during our trip. Definitely choose five star thailand for a visit to phi phi!

Everything I hoped it would be
A seamless experience from start to finish. This tour covers all the must-see spots around Phi Phi and is exactly what you’d want from an island-hopping day. Ruth (guide) and Red (captain) were warm, down-to-earth, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing great insights into the lo…

Do the Private Tour! Absolutely Worth the $
My partner and I had an amazing time with Ruth & captain Red. Ruth was a great guide - funny, knowledgeable, and an absolute joy to be around. We chose the early morning tour which started at 6am. We were snorkeling in Maya Bay by 7am and had the bay to ourselves. Worth the money…

Ruth and Red 10/10
Ruth and Red are an excellent team. We saw everything that we wanted to see and do it all before the crowds got there. 10/10. Ruth has a great sense of humor and knows a great deal about the area. Red is an excellent captain. A lot of long boat drivers are pretty erratic drivers…

Phi Phi Lee and surrounds tour
We had a private long boat with Ruth and Red and had a wonderful experience. We were well taken care of from food and drink, assistance with photos and great descriptions of both the islands and people. Our guides were very considerate and did everything they could to provide us…
