Dear Mr. Shein,

I would like to thank you very much for all the arrangements. I have been very impressed how professional and efficient everything was. Both with arranging visas, land services and of course everything in Myanmar. We were upgraded at the hotel and received very good service. One day tour we made to Pagoda was very nice. Please send our most sincere thanks to your colleagues in Yangon. Thank you once again and hope to send you clients also in the future.

Kind regards,

Dear Shein,

This is a quick note to inform you that we arrived back in Australia and that our trip was completed without any problems. We were very pleased with the arrangements that you had prepared for us and would certainly act as a reference for you should that ever be required. All the very best for the future and should we, our our family, travel to Burma or Thailand we will be in contact with you.
Best regards,

Hello Terry.

I was very pleased with KSS Wise Ltd services. Shein was on time, reliable, and efficient. He also employed staff and subcontractors who were equally as good! I designed a custom itinerary for a group of 24 passengers to Thailand and used Shein for only a portion of it (the 2 night trek and hilltribe homestay outside of Mae Hong Son and a rural authentic beach stay on Koh Libong off the shore of Trang). They were both highlights of our trip.

One of the reasons I went with Shein was because I felt he could provide a very authentic program as a Thai businessman. I prefer working with local people who know the land, know the people, and know the "off the beaten path excursions" that many of the larger tour companies don't have the time or energy to investigate.

This was absolutely what I received. We were presented with experiences that many tourists will never get. I do think, however, that the Thai people (Shein and his contractors included) perceive something very different with regard to physical abilities "i.e. mild versus moderate versus difficult trek". Our trek was much more difficult than we had envisioned.

It was fabulous and looking back not as horrible as it seemed, but I would be very prepared to expect 1-2 grades more difficult that what they say. Thai people are in much better physical shape than Americans and are capable of outperforming physically. Overall, we were very pleased with Shein's services. I think you will be too. If you have additional questions or need some additional help orchestrating your itinerary, I would be happy to help.

Hi! We just wanted to thank you for all the arrangements you made for us in Myanmar. We certainly enjoyed our stay there, and we found the Burmese very hospitable. The transport arrangements were good as well, and the drivers in both Yangon and Bagan were very nice. But of course, your "guidance" was very important, and we appreciate it! Rest assured that if our friends go to Myanmar, we will refer them to you both.

Dear Mr. Shein,

Just wanted to let you know that everything on our trip to Myanmar went well and that we had a wonderful time. All flights went according to schedule and we were met everywhere as arranged. The guides were knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. The sites we saw were both interesting and beautiful. Thank you for your help and service.

We will happily recommend you to friends and colleagues. The only minor complaint we had was that the hotel at Inle Lake gave us a very poor exchange rate for Kyat:US$ - only 600, versus 850 to 1000 in Yangon or 750 outside Yangon. Again, thanks for your help and excellent service.
Regards,

Dear Shein:
I want you to know how much my wife and I enjoyed our travels in Myanmar. The great success of our tour was due to the extremely high-level of attention that you personally devoted to our needs from our very first contact with you in January to our final departure from the Yangon airport.

The tour guides were knowledgeable, professional and delightful to be with. The itinerary was superb with the wonderful treasures at Indein a real highlight of the tour. As you know, my wife and I traveled in Myanmar eight years ago. Our trip with KSSW surpassed that travel. We will certainly give you and KSSW the highest recommendation if you should like to use us for a reference

Sincerely,

Dear Mr Shein,

Just a short note to thank you for the very enjoyable trip I had in Amazing Myanmar!

The logistics, hotels, guides, minivans were all as we had hoped for. The weather was great as well. I met your brother with pleasure in Yangon. So, thank you very much for having worked well and hard to make this all possible.

I will not hesitate to recommend your services to other friends, should the opportunity rise.

With Best Regards,

Dear Shein

As we promised here is our feedback about the trip you organized for us from Oct 25 to Nov 4.

First of all we would like to thank you for your professionalism throughout the trip. We really enjoyed Myanmar and all the highlignts we were advised to see. The timing and all material issues were perfect.

The hotels you booked were fine choice, and especially the Bagan Thande, Mandalay Swan for their swimming pools and the Paradise Inle resort was a really amazing experience.

We'd like also to recommand highly all our guides :

May Pearl Nyunt (Mandalay). The timing she made was very good in order to let us see the places at the right moments were the other tourists were elsewhere. that was perfect.

Zaw Win Cho (Bagan). He knows everything about Bagan and it's a pleasure to speak with him about its history.

Daw Khin Saw Mu (Lake Inle). Perfect English-speaking guide, and we enjoyed the fish restaurant she advised us.

And of course Khunn Cho Swe Yee who speaks a perfect french and with whom we've had a very nice evening. We told her she's invited in France at home if she gets the opportunity to travel to Paris.

Of course we're going to advise your agency to everyone planning to travel to Myanmar, and we'll advise Myanmar as an land of extreme beauty and hospitality.

Let us wish you good luck for you and the best possible business for your travel agency.

Best regards.

Thank you very much for your services and for your help in arranging our trip to Myanmar. This turned out to be a wonderful trip - and the country is really one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. I am sure our trip was successful also due to your and your brother's assistance.

Once again, thank you and see you next time in Myanmar.

Dear Mr. Shein!

WE returned Moscow Thank you very much for your assistance during our stay in Northern Thailand.

Your country is very impressive and Mr. Tommy (our guide) was very helpful Separate thanks to Chiang May's chief of KSS Wise for his air tickets finding.

So everything was OK. I would certanly recommenrd your agency to my friends, who will tour Thailand.

1. BW Bangtao beach resort (Phuket) is very nice hotel with reasonable prices! - PLS include this hotel in your proposals

2.Tao Garden (Chiang May) is unforgetible!

3. WE took boat in Mekong instead of Thaton-Ching Rai - it was right solution.

4.PLS exclude visit to the first village during jungle tour - rather hard way and nothing to see.

Best regards

Thank you for a marvellous tour

Now that we are back in the midst of Canada's winter, I want to thank your company for arranging a marvellous tour of Myanmar for my group. The 10 days went without a single problem, and all guides, hotels and flight arrangements were excellent. The highlight was the trip into Chin State and the climb to Mt. Victoria summit. This was an exclusive view of an area of Myanmar that has been lightly touched by tourism, and our interactions with the local villagers produced lifelong memories. The Kampalet guesthouses, although basic, were clean and all the staff gave 110% to ensure we felt like special guests of honor(which we were, since the three of us were the only tourists there that week).

Special commendations to Mr. Zaw and his nephew Zani, our guides in Bagan and Chin State, for their attention to detail and general kindness. If you have other potential customers who would like a reference from a satisfied client, please feel free to have them contact me. Once again, my thanks to you and your brother for putting together this custom program for us. We plan to someday return to Myanmar to tour other parts of the country, and will definitely contact you to arrange our itinerary.

Good Morning Mr Shein,

I hope that you are well rested and have enjoyed the New Year festivities!! We would just like to send you a little note to say thank you for an excellent time in Thailand. Everything was beautifully organized and EXACTLY what we had asked for.

The guide in Bangkok was charming, kind and just perfect for us. We even managed to fit in a visit to the Flower Market - although my children did refuse to take a journey on a public bus! They loved the tuk-tuks, especially when they were driving along on the wrong side of the road!

Our guide from Kanchanaburi onwards, Mr. Nui, was superb. He was very patient with all our demands and tirelessly set about putting up and taking down tents, organizing meals and making sure every little detail was attended too. I loved talking to him and the children were full of awe at all his knowledge! What a kind man.....!

The program itself was brilliant. The campsites were excellent, the tents perfect (although I am glad that we asked for the larger size tents as I really love my space. On the second night we had Mark sleep in the ''luggage'' tent whilst Adrian and I each had our own tent. !!).

The venues for hiking were excellent although I would really have liked to spend more time in each place as the scenery was so beautiful. The highlight off course was the trek through the Nok Nang-Ann Caves in the Lam Khlong Ngu National Park. Again, this journey was perfectly judged by Mr Nui and the hiking and river crossings were exhilerating and challenging but never too scary. I think the age group of my children (12 +14) was just perfect for this journey and I would not advise people with younger children to do this same excursion. The fact that the National Park gave us two guides (plus Mr Nui) was also very reassuring and I am sure glad that Mr Nui informed himself so well that we did not set out to trek through to the other caves (where there is the big stalagmite and where everything including the river through it is in complete darkness. The 12km roundtrip journey would have been too much for us and the complete dar ness daunting. Perhaps this kind of excursion would be better suited to adults only).

As regards the meals we had along the way, everything was excellent. Just what we expected and always served with such genuine kindness by all the people concerned.

In Sangklaburi we declined the Elephant / rafting trip as we had done similar things previously in Sri Lanka etc. We were however very moved by the Hellfire Pass Museum and - again, another good idea from Mr Nui - we had a fabulous time when he collected us in the evening when we stayed at the Kasem Island Resort and took us to the local Kanchanaburi night market. We managed to shop for all our needs and did not even have to bother with any more dreaded shopping once back in Bangkok!! A personal highlight for me that evening also was to eat at the (very touristy!!) Floating Restaurant where I had dined exactly 20 years ago!

All round a fantastic experience! Have told all my friends and will direct them towards both you and Mr Nui. We are hoping to come back to Thailand too - this time with my husband and will be requesting your further kind services again, if you please.

Many thanks also for the copies of the maps for my children! We all wish you a happy Songkran and a good year ahead.

Shein,

Wanted to write and thank you for the nice tour. Everyone was wonderful. I would love to be able to tip our trek guide but they dropped us off so quickly I couldn't. I was able to tip the tour people that took us north to Chiang Rai. Any ideas?

If you ever need a recommendation, both Koen and I would be more than glad to give it.

Thanks for everything.

Dear Shein,

Thank you so much for organizing our trip to Myanmar. Both William and I enjoyed it very much. We enjoyed our trip especially in Inle Lake. Our tour guide Swe is very creative and filled in our two free days with adventures. We took a boat to Sankar village. We also enjoyed Ann's Restaurant much better than Nampan village restaurant. Ann also has a hotel which has a lot of charms. Perhaps you may wish to contact her for your business relations.

I would like to thank you very much for the perfect organization of the tour in Laos. All people were very satisfied from the tour. We have very nice guide, Samphon. All places we are visited, were beautiful. May be we had to stay one more day in Tad Lo, but I even didn't know about this place before. That was good advice.

I hope to continue work with you in future.
Many thanks and best regards,

Dear Mr Shein,

My husband and I want to thank you for putting together an unforgettable 8-days trip itinerary for us in Myanmar. We didn't expect to get such a great personalised service from you!

The hotels are superb, with great views, clean comfortable rooms and lots of character. We liked especially Thiripyitsaya Sakura in Bagan, beautiful!

All transportations and internal flights arrangements couldn't have been any better. Our guides and drivers are very good, friendly and knowledgable, took really good care of us even to the smallest details. Thanks to Momo in Yangon who smiled all the time; and especially to Mr Tin Shein in Bagan who was excellent - gave us lots of insights and detailed information or backgrounds and history of the temples, surronding areas and the way of life of the local people and in the monasteries. Mr Tin also took us to the best places to enjoy the amazing sunsets in Bagan, away from other tourists! During the trip we became more like friends. It was really great.

Myanmar trully is one of the most beautiful country we've ever visited. The people are friendly and creative. Workmanship of handicrafts, such as the lacquerware, are amazing!

Thank you so much again, we will highly recommend your company to our friends, and will definitely use your services again when we return to your beautiful country - next time we'll take our family and make sure have more cash to shop for the lacquerware! We felt like we've received so much more than what already a good value package - great personalised service and new friends. Warm regards to Mr U Shein in Yangon, Momo, Mr Tin Shein and Tone the driver in Bagan.

Dear Shein,

I promised you to let you know how the trekking was. Well we had a really good time. We enjoyed the camping and the company of our guides a lot. They spoke English very well, they had a great sense of humor and they prepared wonderful food. There eyes discovered animals we would never have seen ourselves.

The days we spend at morning mist resort we had lovely Thai food and we felt really welcome.

We recommend these people and this trip to other travelers. The only minor thing is that we expected the trekking to be more difficult. We didn’t really go of the beaten track and the walks were easier than expected. But again this was a minor thing.

Thank you for planning the trip and we wish you lots of success with your company.

A big thank you to you for all the organization, it was fantastic and authentic. Many thanks to you. We will recommend this activity to all our friends in France.

One more thing to ask please : We would very much appreciate if you could send the pictures you have. (ours are not good at all :very dark).

Dear Misters Shein,

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to send you this email but I returned to Amman with a case of giardia which I'm only now recovering from.

Thank you for organizing a wonderful trip for us to Myanmar. The hotels were excellent, air transfers went smoothly, flights were on time except on our last day from Heho to Yangon and that was due to fog and our warm and friendly guides especially Mr. Zaw Win Cho in Bagan and Mrs. Daw Khin Saw Mu (Evelyn) in Inle Lake. Arriving in Bagan by ferry on the Ayeyarwaddy River in late afternoon and then watching the sunset over Bagan was pure magic for many of us. Full moon celebration at Shwezegon Pagoda the next day was another highlight. Our air balloon flight over Bagan was a first class operation. When we didn't think it could get any better we were met with sunsets at Inle Lake and the wonderful company of Ms. Evelyn.

I do have two suggestions that would enhance the fine tour we were on. The first one is on the ferry from Mandalay to Bagan. We noticed there were 2 sets of 4 seats each in the front of the dining area that you could reserve it would have been wonderful to have had these seats instead of the enclosed area below deck. The second suggestion is to allow at least 2 hours check-in time for International flight departing Yangon. Mr. Shein in Yangon and our guide Sandra were not allowed into the departure area to assist us in obtaining our boarding passes. The scene we found was one of chaos. We did notice there were a few expeditors helping their tour groups and it would've been nice to have had this assistance. These two details I've added would only make a wonderful trip even better.

I would not hesitate to recommend Asterism Tours to my friends. I hope some day to have the opportunity to return to Myanmar with my family. Myanmar is a country of extraordinary people and beauty.

Warm regards,

Dear Shein,
We'd like to thank you for a fantastic trek in Khao Yai last week. Judy, Elaine and I really enjoyed every minute of it. It was interesting, adventurous and a really special experience to be able to spend two nights right in the forest. It was amazing to see how well the rangers knew the forest and how they were able to set up camp so easily and adapt to the surroundings - and what beautiful surroundings, Kaho Yai is a special place. It was very nice to get to know you as well, - thanks for your help, organisation, conversation and translating. I hope things continue to go well for Trek Thailand, and I hope you trip to Laos is a success.

Once again many thanks and best wishes,

Hi Shein,

I wanted to write to tell you how much we enjoyed our trip to Umphang and the Karen villages. Everything was arranged well for our group and it was an amazing experience.

One of the best parts of our trip was the company. I never thought we'd have an opportunity to converse with the village leaders and their families. Thank you for offering to translate and give us the opportunity to make this human connection. We also appreciate all the knowledge and insight to the local villages and the wildlife, your sensitivity to the impact tourism has had on the native cultures and the ecology, and lastly, the warmhearted accommodation and never-ending humor of our local guide, Khun Ajor. We felt like we were among friends.

We only hope that we can return to Thailand for more unforgettable adventures with you in the future. If any of our friends ever want to visit that part of the world, we will definitely recommend contacting you.

Hi Shein!

Just to let you know, everything went smoothly after you left! The trek up the thi lor su waterfall was a really great experience for all of us, challenging yet really enjoyable as well. The view from the very top was very amazing as well!

Overall, we'd like to thank you for organising this for us, and it must have taken some time to organise something suitable as there were many changes of plans due to all the requirements we had for NYAA. We're putting together a CD of all the pictures we took( altogether we took quite a number of pictures) . All of us would like to send it to you along with something else to show our thanks so if you could give us a suitable address to send to?

Once again, many thanks for the wonderful experience you organised for us! The scenery was fantastic, the guides were very helpful and friendly and it really was a fun and exciting adventure for every single one of us!

Hope to hear from you soon

Many Thanks

Dear Shein.

First of all I want to thank you for an amazing and an unforgettable experience we've ever had!

We enjoyed every single place and every activity that was included in it track, such like the rafting, the hard and challenging walking, the view, the waterfall, sleeping in the tents, the elephants and the village that we've been at on the third day.

Although we complained a lot and were exhausted, there is no single one of us that didn't enjoy or didn't want to go back to that trip again without exception!

We learned a lot of new things, experienced different activities and saw wonderful phenomenon of Thailand's amaizing nature.

The entire warm and kindness treatments that we've got from the guiders and from you were extending and very helpful.

You were satisfied our needs, and we are really appreciate you're help and you're unending giving!

The combining of those five guiders was excellent, we felt that all of them did their best for us and it made and gave us a feeling of safety and secure.

In that opportunity I want to raise and recommend Ajor which is an amazing guy, he really thought us a lot of things that we didn't know before of the jungle and of life generally, and took a big part in making this trip something unusual.

After the track we haven't stopped talking about it even until now! We remember every little thing we did and keep the bamboo's cups and spoons as a memento.

Be sure that I will recommend and publish this track in Israel.

To sum up it was a pleasure for us to take part in this trip I and my family really enjoyed to meet great people like you! I'm sure that we will never forget you…

All of us wishing you all the best and good luck in what ever you'll do, thank you very much!

Tomorrow I will send the pictures and the video that I took from the track to the address that you gave me.

We are already back to Hamburg two days ago. I would like to thank you again for this adventurous and full of nature trip. And thank you that we had a chance to get to know the other in our groups. They are all very nice and freindly people. Pls. do tell them that we miss them and are impressed of their hospitality. We will send you some of the photos soon.

At the moment Hamburg is still cold but sunny. This coming weekend is Easter Holidays. We will have this Friday and next Monday off. We have jet lag and are always tired. We may need at least some days to be in turn again.

We wish you all the best for your future. We really like the way you organise the trip. It is unique.

Take care
