Sam took 3 friends & I on a cultural tour for a day in the town of Dawei to have a closer look (& learn) about everyday life, conditions and processes of all the things you see & buy on the street. We were lucky to have such an educated guide for this to explain to us about the architecture, ways of life and direction of future progress all while mingling with the locals and learning about their trade. We saw the cashew nuts process (& ate some), wood art, how cheroots are made, learned about the history of the town, ate many fruits I have never tried before (all delicious), saw traditional style weaving, pottery, a flower farm and where the rattan brooms come from. Every time we saw something that interested us Sam would pull over, get out and explain for us – nothing was a problem! Of course he won our hearts from the moment he arrived with plates of local fruit and drinks in a cooler that kept us nibbling all day long. We finished the day visiting traditional Daweiian snack stands on the side of the road while laughing a lot. Fully recommend this experience and this great guide!

I first met Sam in 2016 when I booked him for a day tour on Motorbikes. This time in Feb 2020 I was travelling with my partner and 81yr old mother. We booked Sam for 3 full days transferring from Myiek to Dawei, a full day around Dawei and beaches and then for Dawei to Kanchanaburi. What a terrific adventure we all had! Sam's car is spacious and comfortable with water and fruit provided. Plenty of stops for tea, food and pictures whenever we wished. Sam is a great guy, polite, friendly and considerate always. It seems that virtually everyone in Dawei knows Sam :) On our final day Sam arranged a 4x4 vehicle for the trip through the jungle to the Thai border. This was 150kms of which 100kms was dirt road. Amazing to get into such beautiful country with rivers and mountains. We were sad to bid farewell to Sam once at the Thai border. Without a doubt if you want to relax and enjoy a visit to Dawei then you must book with Sam.

Hands down one of the best Tour guides in all of Myanmar, if you are looking for an exciting, educational and socially aware and environmentally responsible experience this is it, hands down. Sam takes you on an intimate tour of locally villages, hidden paradises, and an insider view of the local customs of the Dawei, and surrounding areas. I always reccomend everyone I know to Myanmar to take time and see Dawei with Sam. Great job Sam, I cannot wait to come back and visit as soon as I can!!

I met Sam long ago on facebook around 2014 and discussed my upcoming 2015 trip to Tanintharyi region of Myanmar by chatting with him every now and then. Impatiently waiting to depart to Myanmar in October 2015, I finally met him at Dawei airport after I called him to tell him my arrival time. He brought me to my hotel and we discussed a little about the following days when he was my guide. I gave him the freedom to chose himself what to show me and I did not regret any minute we were together in and around Dawei. Sam is very knowledgable about Dawei region, about the people there, their thinking, minds and souls and history. Each day, we spent together was unique. We experienced landscapes, culture, handicrafts, markets, spoke to people in villages, watched them producing goods such as cigars, cashew nuts, baskets etc. etc. Best of course are always the accidental encounters with local people and we had a lot of them. Sam is vey much able to accomodate to the clients needs, he is thoughtful, friendly, always also curious to learn about what you think and your culture. He also is very much aware of environmental issues and supports ecotourism and also tries to educate his people to act environmental friendly. If you want to be guided by a person with a big heart and soul and tons of knowledge about the Dawei region, Sam is your choice! I think, we became real friends during our time together in Dawei and I so hope to come back to Dawei soon. All the best to you and your family, Sam.

Drunk on happiness ==+== There are many famous historic pagodas and beaches in Dawei. We have been travelling with Easy Travel Dawei(Sam the Man Travels & Tours) in Dawei. We were taken to the pagodas, beaches, local villages and to the mountains. It was a nice trip with Sam.

Very good customer relationships and the best service that I have experienced.This guide knows very well about Tanintharyi Region especially Dawei (history, architecture, nature of the local people). Fully recommended!!!

I've got more experiences and happiness as a partnership with Samuel Htaik ..thank you so much ..

Well done,Sam.
