Emerald pools and Tiger Temple venture

Tam_D, May 2024

Emerald pools was busy . Hot springs was nice but their gardener started chopping the trees and bushes with a gasoline trimmer that emitted a lot of smoke and pollution that ruined the ambiance of relaxation there & I had to put on a mask to not inhale the toxic carbon dioxide & smoke. Trip to the Tiger temple was ok. The steps were very steep and not worth it unless you like the challenge of the hike & sweat in the hot weather. Tour guide was funny and pick up Van arrived on time.

Response from Host, May 2024

Dear Tam_D Thank you for your feedback on your recent tour with us. We're glad you enjoyed the hot springs and the humor of your tour guide. We appreciate you letting us know about the busy crowds at Emerald Pools and the unpleasant experience with the gardener using a gasoline trimmer. We understand how the smoke and fumes could have disrupted the relaxing atmosphere. We'll definitely address this with the park management to see if there are alternative landscaping methods that can be used. Regarding the Tiger Temple, we understand the steep steps can be challenging, especially in hot weather. It's definitely a workout! We may want to consider adding a disclaimer to the tour description to better manage expectations. Thank you again for your feedback. We continuously strive to improve our tours and your comments help us ensure a more enjoyable experience for all our customers.

Very good half day trip

This was a good half day trip. The pools were stunning to see and the hotspring at the end was very refreshing.

Nice trip but terrible seating

Zuzana_K, Mar 2023

We liked the program of the trip, we enjoyed the beauties of nature and even those 1260 steps up to the Tiger Cave Temple. But we have suffered all day twisted and bent, stuck on the back seats of the van sized for children. My husband is 1.90 meter, I am 1.75. And there were children in the group. But no one cared. So disappointing.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Dear Zuzana_K Thanks for the review and your comments about the trip. Sorry to hear that the seats were not comfortable.

Por value for money

VIPUL_B, Mar 2023

The vehicle came for pock up at 8.35,but it took long time to pick up just 3 families 🙄 The guide was hardly knowing English. Even,he was not using signboard for the communication. Lot of time got wasted,resulting in very less time for all activities.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Dear VIPUL_B Thanks for your review and hints what to improve. We will tell the drive to improve for pickup service and also will train our guides more in English.

Great Tour

ManKit_L, Dec 2019

The climb to the Tiger Cave was really a challenge in the heat, shame i couldn't manage to the top. Loved the swim in the Crystal Pool, followed by the dip in lush hot springs with high privacy.

Es lohnt sich die Deluxe Tour zu buchen

Anne K, Dec 2019

Andere Touren fahren erst zu den Pools und den heißen Quellen und danach zum Tempel, ich bin sehr froh,dass wir am Vormittag die Stufen zum Tempel erklommen sind. Der Aufstieg ist erwartungsgemäß schweißtreibend, aber der Ausblick ist grandios. Der Crystal Pool war sehr überlaufen und ich fand das Wasser auch eher kalt. Die Thermalquellen hingegen waren super! Wir waren nur 4 Menschen in der Gruppe und hatten so ausreichend Platz und Zeit um die unterschiedlichen Thermalpools zu nutzen. Hätte dort den ganzen Tag verbringen können. Schöne Anlage im Dschungel. Vielen Dank für den interessanten Tag!
