Great day trip out of Bangkok - I thoroughly enjoyed this tour - it’s a great way to get out of Bangkok and see some of the surrounding area. The visit to the River Kwai bridge was interesting, especially if you’re old enough to remember the ‘fifties film (which was filmed in Sri Lanka, according to guide Na). But, the highlight for me was hiking around the beautiful Erewan waterfalls and going for a swim - very memorable. WanderSiam seems like a really good tour operator - the day was well-planned and went smoothly. They even have a physical office! Tour guide Na was great. She’s a local expert and made the day interesting and fun. Highly recommended!

Our guide turned my trip into a photo masterpiece - She has an unbelievable talent for photography and took the most stunning, professional-looking pictures of me – every single shot is perfectly composed, lit and full of life. Thanks to her incredible eye and skill behind the camera I now have holiday photos that look like they come straight from a high-end photoshoot.

Fantastic, moving and enjoyable trip. - If want a great day out when in Bangkok this is the trip for you. A very nice driver took us to the Bridge over the River Kwai site and museum where met our lovely and informative Tour Guide, Na. This part of the tour was very moving. We then drove to the waterfalls at Erawan where we swam with the skin cleaning fish, what a surreal experience.

Erawan Falls - Highly recommended tour, very well organized. I never felt pushed or rushed. My guide Na was super helpful and provided me with a personalized experience for the falls. Here is my verdict: Go to L5 for a relaxing experience, L4 for fun, you will feel like a kid again (Slide your way down) L3 to float and take the view.

It's worth the investment and time. Excellent walk in the middle of nature. - The tour was well in accordance with the description on sale. They were punctual, cordial and efficient. Our drive was spacious and comfortable. We received a bottle of water as a courtesy. Our guide Na was wonderful, giving historical information about the points visited and always very smiling and pleasant. I highly recommend this company.
