TESTIMONIAL

  • Amazing team-building trip in Hua Hin planned by Lotus Events and Planning. From the vineyard tour to visiting temples in traditional Thai outfits, a fun lunch in a cowboy town, and ending the day with live music. Everything was smooth, thoughtful, and super memorable. Our team still talks about it!

  • Our canal tour with LOTUS Tours was an unforgettable experience. From the comfortable van ride (with our own music!) to the exhilarating long-tail boat journey, every element was seamless and well-organised. Wat Arun was as breathtaking as ever, providing an ideal setting for photography and people-watching, particularly with locals adorned in traditional attire. We embarked on an unassuming canal route, savoured a delectable market lunch, and acquired some botanical specimens and culinary delights along the way. The return journey through a canal lock presented an unexpected delight. Despite a brief downpour, the afternoon was characterised by scenic beauty, a tranquil atmosphere, and an abundance of charm. Highly recommended, LOTUS Tours delivers an unforgettable and distinctive Bangkok experience.

  • LOTUS Events and Planning really crushed it on my trip to Koh Tao. I had a few diving spots and local hangouts I wanted to check out, and they actually listened and built an awesome plan around them. The dives were unreal, I also found some low-key beach bars that I went to watch the sunset, and honestly everything was super easy and stress-free. If you want a trip that feels customised but zero hassle, they’ve got you. I’ll definitely hit them up again when I go back.

  • Lotus Events and Planning gave me an amazing Bangkok experience. I took a private long-tail boat along the Chao Phraya River, stopped at Wat Arun, and had a great meal at a floating market. To top it off, we spent the evening on Sukhumvit Soi 11 with live music and drinks at Hillary Bar. Everything was smooth, stress-free, and one of my favorite experiences in Thailand!

  • Lotus Events did an amazing job with this trip. After the VIV Nutrition Forum, we relaxed at Springfield Resort with beach dinners and pool time, visited a peaceful hidden temple outside Bangkok, and ended with a fun night in Hua Hin. Everything was perfectly organised and super memorable!

    Rajan

    CEO, Brightsun

  • I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Joe and P’Aon from Lotus Events for organising an unforgettable golf trip. My younger brother, a friend, and I embarked on a comfortable journey from Bangkok to Palm Hills Golf Course in Hua Hin, enjoying the scenic drive. The atmosphere at the course was exceptional, and the course was beautifully maintained. The weather was ideal, and the environment provided an ideal setting for relaxation and camaraderie. Lotus Events catered to every aspect of our experience, ensuring that we had a seamless and enjoyable time. We concluded our trip with a memorable evening in Hua Hin, surrounded by positive energy, good friends, and refreshing beverages. It was an ideal way to rejuvenate and recharge.

  • After a busy week at the VIV Nutrition Forum, Lotus Events and Planning organised an amazing team getaway to Springfield Resort in Cha-Am. The beachside dinners and poolside relaxation were perfect, and we wrapped it all up with a fun night in Hua Hin with great vibes and cold drinks. A fantastic way to recharge highly recommend!

    Les Nernberg

    CEO, Brightsun

  • Big thanks to Lotus Events and Planning for organising an amazing trip after our week at the VIV Forum. Springfield Resort was perfect with beachside dinners and poolside fun, and we loved the hidden temple and farm visit with fresh fruit. Ending in Hua Hin with live music and cold beers was the best finish. Everything was smooth and well-planned truly memorable!

  • At 87, I’ve travelled a lot, but my recent trip to Chiang Mai with Lotus Events and Planning was truly special. Visiting the Long Neck tribe, exploring the White, Blue, and Black Temples, and spending time at the elephant sanctuary were all unforgettable experiences. The city tour was well planned and gave me a great glimpse of local life. Everything was handled with so much care, and the guides made sure I felt comfortable the whole time. This wasn’t just a holiday but a really meaningful trip. I’m so proud that my grandson is the founder, and I can honestly say I highly recommend Lotus for anyone looking for a thoughtful and enriching experience.

    CEO, Brightsun

  • Had an amazing Muay Thai trip with Lotus Events and Planning. I got to train in gyms across Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket. Each one had its own vibe and the coaches were top-notch. The training was tough but super welcoming, and I felt like I belonged from day one. I learned so much, pushed myself harder than I thought I could, and met some awesome people along the way. Big thanks to Lotus for setting everything up perfectly! If you’re into Muay Thai or just want to experience Thai culture in a real way, this is the way to do it!

    Dom

    CEO, Brightsun

  • Lotus Events and Planning made my airport pickup from BKK and ride to Hua Hin super easy and stress-free. I asked for a minivan with Wi-Fi and it was perfect. I could get work done on the way. The driver was on time, professional, and the ride was really comfortable. Great service and attention to detail, highly recommend them for reliable transport!
