Great morning tour - Had an amazing morning with Nick who was a fantastic guide, fun to be with and a great photographer!
Car was clean, comfortable air conditioned and had a bottle of water inside for me.
Started with the giant water lilies and having a guide was worthwhile when travelling solo as he knew to get there early and get to the jetty first.
Wear white, the contrast is really good against the green. We were there at 8am. Line numbers for the queue are given out at 8:30 to hold your position while you wait, then they sell tickets from 9am, photos start being taken a bit later at around 9:30. Being 5th in line still took 2 hours to get a drone photo! Although you can get some good pictures at the end of the jetty by your own phone and less waiting.
There is ample seating and a cafe while waiting for your turn. Coffee was good and they obliged me (with Nicks help) just to have simple toast, butter & jam!Toilets are also available.
Cash only so be prepared but there is an ATM by the kiosk. Cafe takes card.
A few temples and enough information to understand the beauty and culture was just enough for a mornings tour. Thanks Nick!
Must also say I booked the day before and was unsure if they would collect me from my hotel. A shout out to the whole team who were awesome and communications from them was faultless. Highly recommend this tour company.

Amazing Lily pad tour and temple - Omg- Anny was more than amazing!!!! We totally enjoyed her and our driver and the nice luxury van. This was way more than we expected from the tour and if she didn’t already have someone scheduled for tomorrow, we would have definitely requested her again for something else!!!!
It was nice to be able to have someone who spoke English and was patient with us, but more importantly, she was so knowledgeable and made our tour informative and fun! We did tell her if she comes to America she can hang with us 🤣😘
We will be glad to refer your company and Anny to anyone

Best photos ever!! - Boom was an oustanding tour guide and driver. He took so many great photos and treated us just like family. In fact, we started calling him”son”. He was very knowledgeable about the Temples we saw Thai culture. He made sure we were always comportable and took great care of us. It was a very memorable day!!

Love the Lilly Pads - This tower was a great adventure for a couple of people who would like to relax in Thailand, but also get to see some of the local culture.

Raboom was my tour guide... - Raboom was my tour guide and he was absolutely amazing!!! Very knowledgeable, fun and friendly! He absolutely made the experience so much better! This was my 2nd tour with this company on this trip and both were so amazing. I highly recommend them for both solo and group travel. The lily pads and temples were stunning! Raboom informed me there is a significant wait time to take a professional pic at the Ma Doo Bua cafe directly so booking with them cut that wait time by several hours.
