Fun and easy except for those stairs - I skipped the 235 stair climb. My old prosthetic knees were not up to it. But waiting below was very pleasant, and the rest of the trip more than made up for it. Amazing temples and a very good lunch. Just the two of us and the guide. My Thai friend appreciated having a tour in Thai and English. Tony was affable and accommodating.

🌟 Three Temple Tour – Simply Spectacular! 🌟 - My husband and I, just got back from the Three Temple Tour and we're buzzing!! What a breathtaking experience! We visited Bang Riang Temple, the mystical Dragon Cave Temple, and a stunning Bodhakaya-style temple, each one more beautiful and peaceful than the last. A big shout out to Tony, our driver, who was an absolute gem. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He kept us topped up with cold bottled water and Coke, and even came to the rescue with a phone adapter when mine was running low. Now that’s service with a capital S! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 The company behind it all, Khaolak Vista Tours and Travels, was top-notch, professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about giving travellers a memorable experience. Couldn’t have asked for more. We highly recommend this tour, temples, tranquility, and top-tier service! ❤️❤️❤️

Brilliant tour with variety, real culture and a great guide! - We did the Three Temples tour from our hotel on a rainy Tuesday with Toni (guide) and Bert (driver). It was a brilliant experience. The vehicle was clean and comfortable with cold bottled water and coke, Bert was a great driver. Lunch included was also a really big meal served in a quirky cafe along the way which was cool. Toni was an excellent guide. He was full of knowledge of pretty much everything around us, from the crops, the different birds we heard, and of course the temples. He did a great job explaining and showing us the temples and it was obvious he loves what he does. We always felt really well looked after. In particular all the extra knowledge about the history of the sites, Thailand and Buddhism itself made this much more than a bog standard sightseeing tour and we really got a look at Thai Buddhist life. The three temples themselves were each quite different so the variety was great. We were able to see monks receiving offerings and learn about that process. Toni added a lot of personal stories to the tour and it was really a great day out. Thanks Toni and Bert!

Great private tour of the temples - We had a fantastic private tour guide ‘Toni’, the whole way to the temples he was giving us great trivia for Khao Lak and the surrounding areas which broke up the journey nicely. At the temples he continued to demonstrate his in depth knowledge and went out of his way to answer any questions we had. The tour itself was exactly what I was hoping for, some Thailand untouched by tourists and great if you’re looking for something more spiritual instead of the usual holiday hustle and bustle.

Fab day visiting temples - Just had a fantastic day exploring some beautiful temples. Tony was our driver and he was great! So knowledgeable and shared that knowledge throughout the tour. It was just me and my partner so felt like our own private tour. The 3 temples we visited were beautiful in their own way. The stop we made for lunch was also very good and very tasty. The owners were great and very hospitable. Thank you for a great day!

Temple en cave tour with fantastic local guide Tony - We did the temples and caves tour. We had a wonderful experience that started on a raft in a limestone cave in the heart of Phang-Nga. Then visited the temple cave with the golden reclining Bhudha and finally the temple with the largest Bodh Gaya pagoda with beautiful and colorful paintings inside. We had lunch at a local restaurant, the Starbus cafe, where we had a great meal. We write this review specifically to thank our local guide Tony. He made sure everything was in perfect order, gave a detailed and clear explanation of the sights. We have been allowed to go on an excursion with him twice and he has won our hearts on this short time. Thank you, Tony.
