Per one customer who booked the Kanchanaburi Full-Day Tour: River Kwai and Erawan Falls, "Naa was excellent—super knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She worked hard to make sure everyone was having a good time. She also prepared us in advance of Erawan to make sure we could make the most of our time there. It was a big chunk of driving, but the experience was worth it. Would highly recommend."
