    Mix of local sites and experiences around Khao Lak

    Very well organised in extremely comfortable vehicle with good balance of site visits and experiences. Tsunami exhibition is very moving; the visit to the local market shows life beyond tourism. Our guide was excellent and provided great local knowledge and information

    A tour very much recommended

    Our guide Ching spoke excellent english, she was very caring for all our wellbeing throughout the tour, she had interesting comments from the start to the finish. Our driver also took care of us during transportation

    This was one of my...

    This was one of my favourite tours so far, while I have been in Thailand. Our tour guide, Ms Chin was absolutely wonderful. She was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The Tsunami memorial was really informative and the staff once again, really helpful. The Sunday Market was brilliant. So much to see and eat and it was do cheap! The visit to the beautiful Buddist Temple made for a really serene experience and I cannot recommend this tour enough.

    Temple and Old Town tour

    CHERYL_H, Nov 2022
    I only gave it 4 stars as I thought when I booked it , it included a visit to a local waterfall. The temples and old town were good but our guide , Robert and Jo, our driver were excellent. I was disappointed that the waterfall was not included, however Robert our guide took us to see it so we would not be disappointed. Robert was excellent- his local knowledge was great and he gave us lots of information about Thailand itself which we really enjoyed. If this review was about Robert alone , I would have given it 5 stars.

    Super tour, would 100% recommend.

    Temples, coffee and a waterfall

    Amy_R, Jun 2022
    Robert was a wonderful guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We were fortunate to watch part of an ordination ceremony for a Buddhist monk. Drank coffee at a locally-owned coffee shop. Ended our tour by walking to a waterfall. An absolutely remarkable morning out.

    Excellent guide!

    We had a fabulous morning on our temple tour. Our guide, Robert, was absolutely wonderful: extremely knowledgeable, super with the children, friendly and engaging. He made the experience really, and our children were engaged throughout.

    Enjoyable!

    Enjoyable & worthwhile tour taking in some really amazing temples - would recommend for a few hours if you're in Khao Lak!

    An enriching cultural experience

    Michelle_L, Jun 2019
    This was a fabulous tour of two Buddhist temples, the old town and a pretty waterfall. Our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. The driver was excellent (I felt very safe with her). A really lovely half day experience. Would highly recommend.
