Thi is the best guide! - We had a wonderful guide with Thi, he was very helpful and friendly. We had my five year old daughter with us and he was very playful, entertaining her and helping us find food for her and many restroom breaks. He also kept her happy while we shopped! Thank you Thi for interesting conversation about Vietnam and a great day!
